Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s annual Lake County Democrats Presidents Day Reception at the Deer Path Inn in Lake Forest. Whether you sponsored the event, volunteered with the planning, lent a hand during the reception, or just attended, you helped contribute to a wonderful evening with so many Democratic friends.

Due to a widespread natural disaster, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, our Keynote Speaker, was unable to join us in person. Instead, he spoke to our group live via Zoom, and we’re thankful to him for speaking to us. Folks were really inspired by his words.

More than 250 people bought tickets to our Presidents Day Reception! In addition to Governor Beshear, we heard from Congressman Brad Schneider and other elected officials. State legislators, countywide officials, local officeholders, volunteers, and activists filled the room.

Our grassroots group put on a great program. And events like this are important — they help us be able to support Democrats up and down the ballot. With what the other side is doing in Washington, now more than ever, we need to make sure we keep electing people who share our values.

Thank you to everyone who played in a role in that effort!
