Happy International Women's Day from the Lake County Democrats!

And whether or not you can help with election protection, if you have issues or questions about voting, you can call the Democratic Voter Assistance Hotline at 847-433-VOTE (8683). Feel free to share the number with friends and family too.

Additionally, we will provide a link to a comprehensive Election Protection manual. Open to Democrats. RSVP for training here: secure.ngpvan.com/JE82qWHBK0WM...

Training is available Tuesday night, March 10th on Zoom from 6:30-8:00 PM. 1.5 hours of Professional Responsibility CLE credit is available to lawyers, and we encourage all to attend. Zoom link will be sent shortly before the event.

We expect that the weekends and second week of Early Voting will be busy, and want to be sure that we have coverage across the voting sites.
If you're able and willing to volunteer, send your contact information and availability between now and March 17th to laurenbethgash.election26@gmail.com.

Early Voting is in full-swing and we are looking for additional volunteers for the Tenth Dems/Lake Dems Election Protection Team to help ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote is allowed to cast a vote that will be counted.

Democracy is precious, and it's something to cherish through participation. Make your voice heard, either during Early Voting or on Election Day, Tuesday, March 17.

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.
