You are invited to become a sponsor or attend the Tenth Dems Candidate Appreciation Reception celebrating all Democrats who stepped forward to run for office in the 10th Congressional District, and the volunteers who supported them.
With the 2012 elections in the not so distant future, we need your help to build a stronger Democratic Party. Join us to learn how U.S. Senator Mark Begich became the first Democrat from Alaska to win a seat in Congress (Senate or House) in nearly 30 years.
We’ll also hear some of the senators from the Wisconsin State House speak about their experiences, and meet the announced Democratic candidates for the 10th District.
Sen. Begich got elected in such a red state because of his persistence and determination. He will share what Democrats in other parts of the country can do to win. Tenth Dems has already made enormous strides toward 2010, but we can’t continue to do so without you.
