Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust, and remember those who survived and those who risked their lives to save others. Let us work to make sure we root out hatred so we can truly say #NeverAgain.

Today as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., let's remember his work, be inspired to change our world for good, recognize the progress we've made, and rededicate ourselves to continue the work we still need to do. #mlkday

We could use a volunteer to help post about upcoming events. You can check out the list at lakedems.org/events -- it's a great resource to connect candidates, volunteers, and activists, and there's so much going on, which means a lot of events to get the word out about. Let us know if you can help.

Do Lake County Republicans still think Kristi Noem is “exciting and inspiring”? Noem was keynote speaker for local Republicans for their annual event in 2021. They were excited to have her before, and, coincidentally, have been pretty quiet about Trump and Noem and ICE since.

Trump: "I think affordability is the greatest con job."
Con…con-na be a rough 2026 for you, buddy. Affordability isn’t a “con,” and voters are going to make that point loud and clear.
