Friends,
Yesterday took a sad and tragic turn as we all learned of the unspeakable horror that unfolded in Waukesha, Wis. Our immediate thoughts were with the families impacted by the tragedy as well as the entire Waukesha community. Unfortunately, one person associated with the Democratic Party of DuPage County posted some extremely callous and inappropriate remarks about the tragedy on social media. That person is no longer affiliated with the Democratic Party of DuPage County in any way.
Below is my full statement on the situation:
“The Democratic Party of DuPage County immediately severed all ties with Mary Lemanski once we became aware of her callous and reprehensible posts. She does not speak for us and we unequivocally reject her statements about the tragic events that occurred yesterday in Waukesha. We as a party denounce violence of any kind. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families impacted by this heinous act, which shocked and saddened us all.”
Right now, the focus should be on supporting those impacted by this tragedy. Please join me in keeping these families in your hearts.
Thank you,
Ken Mejia-Beal
Chair
