Two Chances to Get Involved with the DuPage Dems

Greetings!


Yesterday's elections in Wisconsin and Georgia's 14th Congressional District were extremely encouraging signs that the bottom is falling out for Republicans due to Trump's failed, corrupt, and authoritarian presidency. In Wisconsin, progressive Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor won by 20 points; and while the Democratic candidate lost the special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Green in GA-14, the results were a shift of 25 points from the 2024 presidential results!


Last night proves that voters are paying attention, and they are furious. Every American should be glad that Trump didn't follow through on his promise to bomb bridges and power plants across Iran, which are war crimes and incredibly immoral acts that would kill countless innocent civilians. But make no mistake, Trump's illegal war in Iran has been a complete failure — gas prices are soaring, we've achieved none of his objectives, and the Straight of Hormuz is now effectively an Iranian toll road.


We are excited to offer a unique full-day in-person DEI workshop on Saturday, April 25 with one of the country's leading experts: founder and CEO of Courageous Conversation, Glenn E. Singleton.
