“Let’s Talk Politics” in Highland Park Turned Out Great!

“Let’s Talk Politics” provided a great night with so many Democratic friends. Dinner together and a robust conversation made for a full evening. More than 65 people joined Tenth Dems, along with our co-hosts Moraine Democrats and Lake County Democrats. (It was such an overwhelming response that we had to cut off registration!) Thanks to all the volunteers who helped, and for all who came out. “Let’s Talk Politics” means a lot to our group — TDU (Tenth Dems University), our grassroots party school, has organized this series of discussions for years — and we must keep moving forward now more than ever.

Tenth Dems Have Fun Annual Outing with The Capitol Fools Comedy Troupe and Dinner at Jameson’s

Tenth Dems had another wonderful outing in Skokie for laughs with The Capitol Fools Comedy Troupe (formerly the Capitol Steps), followed by dinner at Jameson’s Charhouse.

With over 75 tickets sold, Tenth Dems had a large presence at North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. We had a lot to talk about — the show and more — at dinner afterwards.

Thanks to all our volunteers who helped put together this fun event!

Tenth Dems Summer 2025 Internship

An Internship That Matters

If you have progressive values and are looking for a summer internship that will make a difference, we’ve got it! Illinois Tenth Congressional District Democrats (Tenth Dems) is accepting applications for its Summer 2025 Internship Program. The internship is a substantive program designed for high school, college, graduate, and law students seeking an opportunity to become deeply engaged in the political process.

“This is an opportunity to learn about grassroots politics and to develop important skills,” said former State Representative and Tenth Dems Founder Lauren Beth Gash. “Many interns have gone on to paid political positions with local campaigns or jobs in Springfield, Washington, and with national not-for-profit organizations. Many have gone on to become elected officials themselves.”

Get your tickets to our annual afternoon of laughs with The Capitol Fools

Join Tenth Dems on February 2nd at 2pm for our annual afternoon of laughs with the political satire group, the Capitol Fools Comedy Troupe (formerly the Capitol Steps). These tickets make a great Christmas/holiday gift–or birthday or anniversary gift. There’s nothing like the gift of laughter!

You can purchase your tickets here. Thanks to our group discount, our tickets are on the main floor at $52.00 each, much less than box office. Purchase early; in previous years we’ve sold out.

We’ve also arranged an early dinner after the show for $37 a person, including tax and tip (no upcharge – our cost!) in a private room at Jameson’s Charhouse next door, 9525 Skokie Blvd., Skokie. The menu includes a choice of chicken marsala or macadamia crusted tilapia, both with rice pilaf and a fresh vegetable, a dinner roll, and a house salad, plus a soft drink or coffee – choices to be made when seated. Reserve your dinner here but don’t delay! Because of the size of the room, we can’t accept more than the first 50 dinner reservations.

With so much fresh, new material to cover, we could all use some good laughs.

Buy tickets now to see The Capitol Fools Comedy Troupe and/or purchase your dinner reservation. And if you can’t join us, please consider an end-of-the-year contribution to Tenth Dems.
