Lake County Democrats

This Women's History Month, Lake County Democrats are proud to celebrate the women — past, present, and future — who have and will continue to lead with strength and courage to defend our Democratic values. #WomensHistoryMonth

Ramadan Mubarak! During the holy season of Ramadan, the Democratic Party of Illinois wishes our Muslim community a month full of joy, growth, and peace with your loved ones.

Trump doesn't represent Lake County or American values. The peaceful protesters, like Lake County voters before them, made that pretty clear. And we will continue to do that. bsky.app/profile/lake...

Happy Lunar New Year from the Lake County Democrats! May everyone celebrating enjoy a happy, healthy, and prosperous Year of the Horse.

Rest in peace, Rev. Jesse Jackson. bsky.app/profile/illi...

Thanks to everyone, including Indivisible Western Lake County Community, who came out and made their voices heard. This holiday will mean something different in 2029, but let’s keep rolling up our sleeves and standing up for our values while we still have the worst President ever in the White House.

The large crowd and great response from people driving by, like voters before them, made it clear that the extremism of Trump and MAGA has no home here.

On President’s Day, so many Lake Dems friends joined with likeminded folks for the “Not My President” protest in Round Lake Beach. Donald Trump doesn’t represent Lake County or American values.

Happy Valentine's Day from Lake County Democrats! If you love seeing Democrats get elected, then volunteer, chip in, and especially vote.

This is how the Republicans recognize Black History Month: Donald Trump posts something racist, then Republican politicians stay silent because they're too gutless or they agree with him. Either way, it's time to vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, and to vote out all the Republican cowards.

Starting Thursday, February 5, voters can call the Democratic Voter Assistance Hotline at 847-433-VOTE (8683). Knowledgeable volunteers will be available to answer questions about when, where, and how to vote, and to help troubleshoot any difficulties that may arise.

At a time when some are actively trying to erase Black voices and even remove exhibits that acknowledge slavery, Lake Dems is proud to celebrate Black History Month.

Congrats, @repdidech.bsky.social for being named Illinois Association of Park Districts Legislator of the Year, and to
Waukegan Park District Chair Anton Mathews (also a Lake Dems Vice Chair), who accepted the Champions of Change Award for the Waukegan Park District. Dems in Lake County get it done!

Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust, and remember those who survived and those who risked their lives to save others. Let us work to make sure we root out hatred so we can truly say #NeverAgain.

State’s Attorney Rinehart Reaffirms Commitment to Accountability in Excessive Use-of-Force Cases - Lake County Democrats In light of the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend and the concern over accountability of federal agents, Lake Dems is letting people know about the response…

Take a moment to read the statement below. We’re fortunate for these thoughtful remarks and to have reasonable, principled leaders in Lake County like State's Attorney Eric Rinehart to stand up to the extremism of the Trump Administration.

Thank you being on top of this, @lakecountyclerk.bsky.social. See the Lake County Clerk's post below about the US Postal Service and voting.

Today as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., let's remember his work, be inspired to change our world for good, recognize the progress we've made, and rededicate ourselves to continue the work we still need to do. #mlkday

We could use a volunteer to help post about upcoming events. You can check out the list at lakedems.org/events -- it's a great resource to connect candidates, volunteers, and activists, and there's so much going on, which means a lot of events to get the word out about. Let us know if you can help.

They don’t reflect the values of Lake County, and Republican politicians are going to keep losing here.

Do Lake County Republicans still think Kristi Noem is “exciting and inspiring”? Noem was keynote speaker for local Republicans for their annual event in 2021. They were excited to have her before, and, coincidentally, have been pretty quiet about Trump and Noem and ICE since.
