Thank you to Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi for his keynote address at our Oct. 10 annual fundraiser! And thank you to the incredibly generous donors who helped make GPAD's Blue Wave 2024 fundraiser a great success. Now, it's time to knock on doors, make phone calls, finish our postcards, and sign up to help during Early Voting. On to Victory!

We hold only one fundraiser each year, and this is it. Contributions to Greater Palatine Area Democrats help to pay the expenses of running a year-round Democratic organization and office as we work to elect more Democrats to all levels of government from President to school board. Fun new addition this year: a small, silent auction with political campaign items. Bring cash or a checkbook and your best bids! Our speaker's list is in formation. Sponsorships are available! Tickets to the fundraiser are $65.

Special Note: Our Freedom Is Rolling Closer fundraiser is the same day as the Vice Presidential Debate, which we all want to watch. Because Emmett's will be closing at 9 p.m., we're aiming to end our fundraiser at 7:30 p.m., then head to our office at 1310 W. Northwest Highway for a Watch Party to view the VP Debate, which starts at 8 p.m. The Debate Watch Party is free. Hope you can join us for both!

Welcome, Democratic Volunteers!! We are Greater Palatine Area Democrats, the Democratic organization for Palatine Township, and we are thrilled you are signing up in droves to help reach voters to help elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz!! The most, most, most important thing we and all the Democratic campaigns need are volunteers who can talk to voters and really listen to them about the issues that are important to them--by phone, by car to Wisconsin, on foot throughout Palatine Township. Please check our Calendar to see ways you can help. And keep checking back! We'll be adding more and different opportunities up until Election Day, November 5th. Thank you for loving our great country!
