Campaign Kickoff Picnic 2026

Grilling for a better tomorrow!
2026 'Campaign Kickoff' Picnic

WHEN:  Saturday, August 15th, 2026 -- 11am to 3:00 pm
WHERE:  Veterans Acres Park -- Jaycee Shelter -- 431 Walkup Road, Crystal Lake

SPECIAL NOTE:  The awesome Christian Mitchell, our next Lieutenant Governor and JB Pritzker's running mate, will be our keynote speaker.  Don't miss this opportunity to hear and meet him.

Get inspired, mingle with our candidates and fellow party members, and have some food and fun as we begin the 2026 petition passing season! Pick up candidate petition packages, literature & signs. The Party will provide lunch and beverages, but donations would be much appreciated.

We reserved the VA/JAYCEE shelter, which features easy parking, restrooms, and a playground nearby.

Plus, we're going to be having a "50-50" fundraising raffle.  Come on out, buy some tickets, and help us raise funds to elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

It will be a full house - BRING A FOLDING CHAIR! It's likely to be hot so please bring your filled water bottle to stay hydrated, as well as kind to our environment. :)

RSVP REQUIRED - please let us know you are coming so we have enough food for everyone!

These gatherings are packed with invigorating discussions and a great chance to connect. Join us as we work together and enjoy sharing ideas for getting Democrats elected all the way down the ballot!

RSVP not necessary but always appreciated.
