Building Blue Banquet 2026
Please join the Ankeny Area Democrats for our annual winter Building Blue Banquet! Now, more than ever, it's important that we stay engaged as we build for success from the ground up in 2026 and beyond!
We are thrilled to welcome Sen. Catelin Drey and Sen. Mike Zimmer as our keynote speakers. Both senators won special elections in 2025, which flipped their district from red to blue and broke the supermajority here in Iowa. We will also hear from Rep. Heather Matson, and candidates Molly Buck and Heather Sievers.
Registrations close Tuesday, February 3.
All entrees include a house salad, speciality bread, and dessert.
Entree choices include:
GRILLED BRUSCHETTA CHICKEN (gf) | Fresh herb seared chicken breast topped with roasted cherry tomatoes, onions, basil, and fresh garlic wine sauce served with fresh seasonal vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes.
OR
RICOTTA STUFFED TORTELLINI (vegetarian) | Tortellini stuffed with Ricotta cheese topped with a creamy Alfredo sauce and fresh seasonal vegetables.
A vegan meal can be prepared on request
Social hour begins at 6:00pm.
