Lake County GOP Promotes Yet Another Gun Raffle
————————————————
Whether you were lucky enough to be in the United Center or cheered on our Democratic ticket from home, the glow of the DNC convention lingers.
Now it’s time to get to work to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Thank you to everyone who has knocked on doors, written postcards, walked in parades, made phone calls or helped in other ways. [August 30th issue] We’re counting on you to keep up the great work so we all have much more to celebrate in November!
How fired up are you after the Democratic National Convention? It was a remarkable event, and it’s clear Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have momentum. But we need to keep…
[Special Edition August 16th] Lake Dems organized seventeen formal Day of Action events held last Saturday all over Lake County and beyond. We also had many pop-up events. With energy and enthusiasm, hundreds of our Lake County Democrats volunteers engaged voters. We made phone calls, sent texts, wrote 10,000 postcards to swing states (yes, you read that right!), and knocked on doors in Lake County and Wisconsin! …
Lake County Democrats work to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. We help recruit, train, and support candidates. We hold events and trainings to energize volunteers and precinct committeepersons that make them more effective in their outreach. Through working with township chairs, Lake Dems builds relationships at the grassroots level that help turn out the vote for Democratic candidates and strengthen connections between elected officials and the Lake County community.
“I served for a time as the only Democratic legislator from Lake County in the Illinois House or Senate. We’ve worked hard to change Lake County from deep Republican red to Democratic blue. People are understanding more and more that Democrats reflect Lake County values…and the Republican Party simply doesn’t. Lake County Democrats are developing a strong infrastructure to make the phone calls, canvass the neighborhoods, raise the money, train the candidates, do the mailings, and get out the vote. These things are crucial to our mission of making sure people support our candidates and elected officials.
There’s a lot to do, and we’re excited to continue the hard but critical work of electing Democrats in Lake County.
Join us!”
