If you've never taken the plunge to get involved in political action, we encourage you to get to know us by attending a meeting. We are a growing local party, but we need more people like you to step up and share your perspective. We are building teams of people to tackle projects like data entry and analytics, voter registration, special events, social media and content management, and candidate support and canvassing.
District 9 Conversations
Join us for
District 9 Conversations
The primary is over and it's time to get to work. Please join our open discussion with local Democrats including candidates. Let’s talk about ways to get out our Democratic votes. Expect a stimulating conversation!
Food and drinks (very, very good, especially their pizza!) will be available for purchase at the bar. Please patronize Pub 47's offerings as they are generously allowing us the use of their back room without charge.
Rester's Barbecue and Fundraiser
Rester Dogboe is our Democratic candidate for county board from District 3, and promises "an unwavering commitment to integrity, prudent and accountable public resource management, and a commitment to diversifying and expanding revenue sources by supporting local businesses and promoting new technology." He writes, "Originally from Ghana, I came to the US ten years ago with my wife and young son. We became naturalized US citizens as soon as we could, and are grateful that we could create better lives for our family in McHenry County."
Please join our campaign at Rester's Barbecue and Fundraiser, on Saturday June 1st, from noon to 2pm, at a private Crystal Lake residence.
Visit Rester on the web and on Facebook. Contact Rester at [email protected] or (815) 206-8653.
Districts 8 and 9 Hot Dog Picnic
Please join us for our annual hot dog picnic. Hot dogs, chips, drinks, and ice cream - all provided as well as the fixin's for Chicago dogs. Meet local candidates and mingle with fellow Dems from Districts 8 & 9. Come for the food, the fellowship, the inspiration and the scenic beauty as we watch the sun go down over the Kishwaukee Valley. It was a beautiful and inspiring event in 2023, and for sure this year will be equally great.
It’s all happening on the evening of Wednesday, June 5, 2024 — from 5:00 to 8:00 pm.
The location is Shelter #2 at the Marengo Ridge Conservation Area, 2411 IL-23, Marengo, IL 60152. It's on the east side of Route 23, between River Road on the south and Collins Road on the north.
There's construction on Rt 23 going north. So if driving from Huntley or south, there's an alternate route: take Route 176 to Deerpass Rd, the first major road east of Route 23. Go north on Deerpass to River Road, west on River Road back to Route 23, and then north on Route 23 for the final bit to Marengo Ridge. (Map consultation is suggested since the detour signs take you back to Rt 14 / Harvard.)
Help us have enough dogs for everyone - RSVP!
