An Evening with David Hogg

Hi Fellow Democrats,

We're one year into the chaos and cruelty of Trump's second term. His illegal tariffs are raising prices for Americans; his reckless focus on Venezuela and Greenland are undermining our alliances; and his targeting of entire communities of people of color by a paramilitary of poorly-trained goons reveals how little he cares about American values — he only care about himself and his billionaire friends!


It has never been more important to elect good Democratic leaders here in DuPage County. The DuPage Dems have led the fight over the past year — from sponsoring a 30-mile protest "Hands Across Chicagoland" to hosting the Texas legislators.


We will lead the effort to rally Democratic voters to the polls this year, and we need your help.


Our upcoming Gala funds the entirety of our get out the vote initiatives.


Our Gala keynote speaker is David Hogg, who co-founded March for Our Lives after surviving the Parkland school shooting in 2018. David also co-founded Leaders We Deserve, which works to recruit young candidates to run in races nationwide. We’ve also invited Governor JB Pritzker and all the major candidates. It's going to be an inspiring evening of democracy in action.


The Gala is Sunday, Feb. 22 at Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace. Gala tickets are now on sale.

In Solidarity,


Reid McCollum, Chair
