Message from the Chair
We had another great picnic in The Backyard last Saturday. It was a great crowd. Thank you all. Everybody left with yard signs and mums. Don't forget to take a picture of your signs and tweet it with the hashtag #lcdemsbloom.
I want to thank Nancy Tellez and the Fundraising Events Committee. I want to thank our prep crew and all the volunteers that served all those great Democrats on Saturday. We even had a big crew cleaning up Sunday. Thanks for staffing and attending this epic election year event.
Rep. Fischer and Rep.Kefalas are hosting the House Majority Project fundraiser tomorrow night in their efforts to build a better house. See the details below and help our Democratic leaders make a difference statewide. This is a team sport and the House Majority Project is a major player in our future victories.
