Women are often at a disadvantage when running for office because of the gender gap in resources available to them. McHenry County Democratic Women aim to change that. \nJoin us for a fun and inspirational afternoon raising critical funds for local Democratic women candidates running in 2024’s critical election. \nWe will get inspired by our keynote speaker\, US Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (D-14).

Congresswoman Underwood flipped this seat from red to blue in a historic fashion in 2018\, defeating a four-term Republican incumbent. Her District included parts of McHenry County at that time\, and we will always consider her our representative too! \nThere will be time to enjoy small plates\, the cash bar\, and browse an amazing collection of bags of all types – all available to win in our Purse Raffle. Sneak preview of purses to come. \nGo to https://secure.actblue.com/donate/pursepower to get your tickets. Seating is limited so don’t delay! \n

SUMMARY:Maria Peterson's Birthday Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Get your tickets for Maria’s Birthday Fundraiser ! \nTuesday September 26th — 7 to 8:30 pm — Francescas’s in Barrington\, 100 East Station Street \nKen Peterson writes: \nMy wife has amazed me from the day she walked into class at Loyola. Last year she continued to amaze me when she took on our State Senator\, who happened to also be the minority leader\, and with limited resources\, she came within 385 votes of defeating him! \nIf you know my wife\, you know that energized her to take on her next challenge – to challenge our current State Representative who is 100% anti-reproductive rights\, 100% anti-LGBTQIA\, and a strong and vocal supporter of book banning. \nI know his voting record doesn’t match the values and ideals of this district\, her Exploratory Committee of nearly 100 supporters knows it and the growing list of endorsers knows it too. And I’m pretty sure YOU know. \nPlease join me in supporting Maria on her birthday in support of the September 30th fundraising deadline: \nWe have a big hill climb financially as the opponent has already started stockpiling $$$ because they are terrrified of Maria’s tenacity and commitment to her community. Whatever you are able to do to celebrate and support Maria’s candidacy will help us in this fight to bring true representation to the 52nd District! \nThank you so much\, \nKen \nGet your tickets for Maria’s Birthday Fundraiser ! \n
