Senators Cory Booker and Alex Padilla are unable to join us at tomorrow’s DPI Gala.


We’re thrilled to welcome Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva as our keynote speakers! Governor Walz has become a national voice for steady, pragmatic leadership, and Rep.-Elect Grijalva’s historic election marks a powerful moment for our democracy.


It’s going to be an inspiring night for Illinois Democrats, and we can’t wait to see you there.
