Will You Join Us on Sunday

Hi Fellow Democrats,

Ramadan Mubarak to those of you who celebrate! Our normal weekly newsletter will go out tomorrow this week — I just want to send a quick note.


More than 700 people have purchased tickets for our Gala this Sunday, making this our biggest Gala ever! We still have tickets remaining but we may sell out, so please purchase tickets ASAP if you're still considering joining us. And if you're already planning to attend, please invite others to join your group.


In addition to our keynote speaker, David Hogg, we're excited to hear from Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton, Attorney General Kwame Raoul, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Rep. Robin Kelly, Rep. Delia Ramirez, Rep. Jesús ("Chuy") García, IL Rep. Margaret Croke, Lake County Treasurer Holly Kim, Senate President Don Harmon, Kevin Ryan for Senate and many others!
