Join us for a fun evening mingling with fellow Democrats from our area and hearing directly from our excellent DFL candidates.
We are proud to be honoring Joe McCabe with our DFL Lifetime Achievement Award this year as a thanks for his many years of service for our community.
We also have a wonderful lineup of guest speakers, including rural leader Ben Schierer, who is Amy Klobuchar's running mate for Lieutenant Governor. Some other candidates you might hear from include: Caitlyn Sanow-Minett (running for MN Senate District 21), Jon Wilson (running for MN House District 21B), Marisa Ulmen (running for MN Senate District 22), and Sonja Denn (running for MN House District 22A).
The cost for a ticket is $30 per person. It includes a taco buffet catered by Plaza Jalisco. Beverages will be available for purchase from the bar.
Please consider adding a patronage donation to your order, helping to cover costs for those who otherwise could not attend for financial reasons.
(If cost is prohibitive for you to attend, you may request a donated ticket, but these will be distributed only as available.)
The funds raised at this banquet will be used to support DFL candidates running to represent Watonwan County in state and federal elections.
