Speaker: Nick Oestreich, WisDems Regional Organizing Director
“In our current polarized environment, it is essential to have open conversations with voters. This means actively listening to what they have to say. It also means hearing where they’re at so you can help them better understand the importance of voting for pro-democracy candidates. We also must emphasize the urgency of our times and the need to elect leaders who uphold democratic values, regardless of party affiliation. Please attend so you can be a force for positive change with friends, families and neighbors, and if you may be knocking doors.

BEWARE
There is an Independent Candidate running for our 6th Congressional District seat. He is supported by a Nebraska PAC - outside money. He is trying to win our Democratic votes. We have been told he has not been truthful when talking about Democratic candidates to others. We need all the Democratic votes possible to unseat Glenn Grothman. Grothman must go! Marquette County Democratic Party follows the rules of The Democratic Party of Wisconsin. We do not endorse a candidate who has a primary. We will support the winner of the primary election, which is August 11. We have primaries for Governor, State Treasurer, and our 6th US Congressional District Representative.
