DuPage Dems News and Upcoming Events

Greetings!



Happy Earth Day! 

I’m honored and humbled for the opportunity to continue to lead the Democratic Party of DuPage County. I’m grateful to the delegates who were able to attend last week's Convention and everyone in our strong movement. We have a lot of work to do, but I’m confident that together we can win every single race across DuPage up and down the ballot this fall.

We're looking for summer interns! This is an unpaid program with a time commitment of 10–20 hours per week. The schedule and dates are flexible. High school students, college students, and recent graduates are welcome to apply. We're hosting two virtual info sessions about the summer internship program on Wed. April 29 at 12pm and 6pm CT.


Foundations in Courageous Conversation - LAST CALL

Saturday, April 25 from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM

College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, IL.

The cost is $200 per attendee (includes lunch), which doesn't quite cover the actual cost per attendee. If you are a PC or active volunteer, check with your Township Chair about a limited number of $50 tickets.


Thank you!

Reid McCollum, Chair

Congratulations to our re-elected DuPage Dems officers! Chair, Reid McCollum; First Vice Chair, Dianne McGuire; and Treasurer, Ilse Messner.
