To win for our shared progressive values, we must have a stronger Democratic community and turnout in Milwaukee. To that end, we are launching DemTEAM, and this spring we will hold the first of many Democratic Trainings for Elections and Action in Milwaukee.
We invite you to use this site to communicate with fellow Democrats in Milwaukee County. We can also keep each other about informed events and party activities.
Please share your opinions and ideas through blogging and participation in forums. Just sign up to participate. Then use the "create content" link at left to contribute.
And please be sure to let know how we're doing. Your input is vital to this site and to the party!
Thanks for joining us.
