**Ticket sales for the 2022 Steak Fry are closed!
The Polk County Democratic Party is proud to announce the 2022 Steak Fry on Saturday, September 17 at Water Works Park! This year marks 50 years since the first Steak Fry, so join us in a special celebration!
We are absolutely thrilled that Congressman and Chair of the House Democratic Caucus Hakeem Jeffries will be headlining this year's event.
Congressman Jeffries has represented the Eighth Congressional District of New York which covers Brooklyn and Queens since 2012. He was appointed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the fifth highest ranking position in the House as Caucus Chair in 2019. He also serves on the House Judiciary and Budget committees. Before serving as Caucus Chair, he was the Whip for the Congressional Black Caucus. In addition to his other leadership positions, Speaker Pelosi appointed him as one of the seven House managers in the 2020 impeachment of Donald Trump.
In Congress, he’s been a staunch advocate for so much of what our Democratic Party cares about. He’s an outspoken leader on voting rights and civil rights. He’s been a voice for needed change on affordable housing, prescription drug prices, and education. In looking at his time in the House, his record of actually passing legislation is simply remarkable. He has successfully passed several bills into law on criminal justice reform with Republican cosponsors.
We can’t wait to hear his thoughts about the 2022 midterms and the road ahead for Democrats. And we can’t think of anyone better suited to headline this year’s 50th anniversary of the Steak Fry.
Gates will open at 12:00 PM. The program is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM.
Individual tickets are available for just $35. The event will be catered this year by Orchestrate Hospitality. Steak, chicken, or a vegan option will be included with sides of deviled egg potato salad and Mexican corn salad in the ticket price. As always, kids 12 and under eat for free.
