Every year, we celebrate 10th District volunteer accomplishments with a dinner and awards ceremony. This year’s event was a big success! A standing room only crowd of more than 125 included candidates and elected officials from our area, last week in Deerfield.
Scroll down for photos from last week — then chip in $35 or more to be a part of this in 2016.
Co-Chair Bonnie Berger-Neel (pictured below) and Communications Director Eric Herman were recognized for their hard work organizing volunteers and preparing Tenth Dems communications for next year’s elections.

Keynote Speaker David Yepsen — who The Washington Post called the “King of the Iowa Caucuses” — kept the audience engaged with stories from his three decades reporting on Iowa politics at The Des Moines Register. He is currently director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, which you can follow on Facebook.
One message was echoed throughout the night: Tenth Dems volunteers accomplished a lot in 2015 — but there’s still more work to do.
We need to continue to register voters, recruit volunteer leaders, and keep a spotlight on Republicans Mark Kirk and Bob Dold’s double-talk.
