Upcoming Events
The next meeting of the Democratic Party of Milwaukee County will be held on March 22 at 7 p.m. in the Hall of Fame Room at the Pettit National Ice Center. Come join us and support progressive values. We’ll get updates from the Barrett and Feingold campaigns, and learn how to get involved. We'll hear from the third of three candidates for Lieutenant Governor, Tony Zielinski. We'll meet the candidate for Representative from the Fifth Congressional District, Todd Kolosso. We'll have a discussion about endorsements in local campaigns. (Note from the Chair: “We recognize that the last few meetings have gone long, so we’ve planned a compressed meeting for this month, and we expect to be done by 8:30 p.m.”) The Pettit Center is located at Wisconsin State Fair Park, 500 S. 84th Street (just south of I-94). The Hall of Fame Room is accessible by stairs or elevator.
An informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher.
