TONIGHT! Join Lake County Democrats for an open house during ArtWauk, and spend some time with Democratic friends. Details: Lake Dems Open House during ArtWauk When: Saturday, January 17, 5:00 to 7:00pm Where: Lake Dems Waukegan Office, 228A N. Genesee St., Waukegan (right near the Genesee Theatre)

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.

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.

There's so much going on and it's sometimes hard to find a comfortable space to relax for a bit. Join Lake County Democrats this Saturday for an open house during ArtWauk, and spend some time with Democratic friends. More details...

Important voting info below from @lakecountyclerk.bsky.social. Check it out.

On January 6, 2021, Trump's insurrectionists stormed the Capitol and tried to thwart democracy. It was a sad day for our country. 1/3

Happy New Year from the Lake County Democrats! May 2026 be filled with health, happiness, and lots of Democratic victories here in our area and across the country! Have a safe, enjoyable holiday, and then let's get back to work electing Democrats.

Lake Dems wishes a Joyous Kwanzaa to all our friends who are celebrating!

Merry Christmas to all celebrating today in Lake County and across the world!

Hey, friends! Today is ArtWauk, and we'll be getting together at our office in downtown Waukegan (across from the Genesee Theater) later, 5:00 to 7:00pm. Stop by!

This is a sick, disgraceful man, and we need to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2026 to stand up to a Republican Party that continues to be led by this shameless person.

Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate. May you enjoy the holiday safely and peacefully in the wake of the senseless attack in Australia.

Vote like your life depends on it! Voting is not only good for a healthy democracy, but it’s also a strong predictior of someone’s mortality. Yet another reason to vote! jech.bmj.com/content/earl...

On International Volunteer Day, a big thank you to all the Lake County Democrats volunteers. Today is about celebrating volunteers everywhere and championing the spirit of volunteerism -- locally, nationally, and globally.

Trump: "I think affordability is the greatest con job." Con…con-na be a rough 2026 for you, buddy. Affordability isn’t a “con,” and voters are going to make that point loud and clear.

Get some holiday shopping done early, help support Democrats, and give a meaningful gift to those who share our values. You can do this all in one stop...at the Lake County Democrats online shop. Click here to buy a Lake Dems shirt or hat and choose from a variety of buttons --> lakedems.org/shop

Democrats won all across the country on Election Night. It’s clear that Donald Trump and his Republican Party aren’t reflecting American values — voters made that clear — and it’s going to show come Election Day in 2026 too.
