Meet with like-minded friends and neighbors to talk about political issues. We will discuss what we can do to make a difference in the county, state and nation. With 2020 elections looming, the McHenry Democrats have lots to plan. Find out what's in the works.

We need conversation to work through it all. Come have coffee and let's talk.

Bring a friend and we'll see you there!

The Blue Wave Crew is needed now more than ever. 

On the second Monday of each month, we will meet at the office to work on various types of projects: postcards, letters to the editor, sign painting, phone calling, crafty projects, etc. We will have 3 or 4 projects ready to go.
This is a working session.

Our list of jobs gets longer every week. We need lots of help.

Come when you can and stay as long as you can. Even a few minutes helps.

Afternoon Happy Hour with the
Sun City Area Democrats

(Includes McHenry County District 5 & 6 and Rutland & Hampshire Townships in Kane County) 

Come out to Casa Rubi-os to meet other Democrats, grab a drink, and chat (or vent) about the important issues of the day.  Mingle with other like-minded individuals, and sometimes even our elected officials and candidates. Find out about local events and ways you can make a difference. We have information about recent legislation such as the Fair Tax Amendment, and how you can hold your elected officials accountable.

Bring a friend!  Let's keep looking for those Democrats hiding right in front of our eyes or people who may have switched over to our way of thinking!
