Get ready to huddle up, Democrats — it’s game time!
Join us for a winning night of food, fun, and friendly competition as we kick off the Big Year with our first-ever Democratic Chili Cook-Off! Local candidates and community members will go head-to-head — or should we say bowl-to-bowl — in a spicy showdown that’s sure to bring the heat.
🏈 The Playbook:
Taste, cheer, and vote for your favorite chili as candidates bring their best recipes (or their most creative “non-chili” dishes) to the table. Sample the competition, cast your ballot for the MVP of flavor, and see who takes home the championship title of Chili Champion!
🔥 Why It Matters:
2026 is the Big Year — and this is our chance to get fired up early! Let’s build momentum, strengthen our team, and show that when Democrats come together, we can tackle anything.
