Less than Three Weeks

Hi Fellow Democrats,

Thank you to the more than 750 folks who attended our annual Gala on Sunday! We'll share photos and a video of David Hogg's keynote speech soon. It was the largest Gala attendance in DuPage Dems history, and we're especially thrilled that 100 young people joined us on free or discounted tickets, which Hogg acknowledged was by far the most youth he's ever seen at a Democratic Gala or similar event.


We're deeply grateful for the speakers, sponsors, supporters, vendors, and volunteers who made the night possible. The Gala funds the majority of our budget, and it will help us have the resources to make sure our Democratic candidates win every race across BluePage County this fall!


The Democratic primary election is less than three weeks away. Early voting is happening now, and mail ballots have started to arrive. Many more early voting locations will be available starting Monday, March 2. You can look up your sample ballot here.


Join us, along with surprise special guests, on Saturday, March 7 or Saturday, March 14 for Get Out the Vote Canvass Days of Action from the DPDC Office.

In Solidarity,


Reid McCollum, Chair
