So nice to see! Antioch Township Democrats and Grant Township Democrats showed how Democrats care about making a difference. Thanks to volunteering their time for an Adopt a Highway cleanup event, dozens of bags of trash were taken away. Great teamwork!

The number of postcards to swing districts written by Lake County Democratic volunteers is incredible. There is so much at stake, and there's an easy way you can make a difference right now -- we need more postcard stamps. If you can donate postcard stamps, we'd be so grateful.

Access to report about what's happening with the US military shouldn't require a pledge to Pete Hegseth or anyone else in the Trump Administration. A free press is critical to our democracy.

Come to the Open House & Petition Party at the Lake County Democratic Waukegan Headquarters during ArtWauk on Saturday evening to sign/drop off petitions that Democratic candidates need to get on the ballot. And chat with like-minded folks, something so many of us could use right now. See you there!

Today is National Voter Registration Day. Here are a couple of quick ways you can mark the occasion -- check voter registration status and become a Deputy Voter Registrar:
1) Check your voter registration status at lakecountyil.gov/361/Voter-Registration, and encourage friends to do it too.

MK and I are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Governor Jim Edgar.

Governor Edgar was a model public servant, a devoted father and husband, and an honest and honorable man.
