Deerfield, IL — The Tenth Congressional District Democrats (Tenth Dems) will hold its Annual Awards Dinner on Sunday, December 17, at 5:30 pm. There will be a buffet dinner for the event that will be held at the Hyatt Regency Deerfield, 1750 Lake Cook Road, Deerfield (I-294 at Lake Cook).
The Keynote Speaker will be Jill Wine-Banks, prominent Watergate prosecutor and frequent MSNBC contributor. Wine-Banks also led an effort to improve the military’s handling of sexual assault cases.
During the Watergate hearings, Wine-Banks played an integral role in questioning the events surrounding Richard Nixon’s secret tape recordings.
On cable news, Wine-Banks provides viewers invaluable insight into how a case can be built against a president and his aides, whether Nixon in the 1970s or Trump today.
In addition to the Keynote Speech, the Annual Awards Dinner will honor contributions to the group over the past year. The Mikva Leadership Award will be presented to Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza.
Tenth Dems is a grassroots organization that works to elect Democrats at all levels within Illinois’ 10th Congressional District, traditionally one of the most closely-watched districts.
