State Party Convention

The state convention is a great opportunity to meet Democrats across the state, hear fantastic speeches from some of our top Democratic leaders, talk with elected officials, and vote on the officers for our state party. The group that went last year had a fantastic time. The convention will be held on June 7th and 8th at the Olympia Resort and Conference Center in Oconomowoc and you can attend the convention either as a delegate or as a guest, although only delegates to vote on state party officers. We already have 19 people signed up as delegates, but we still have spots available . Please let me know if you’re interested in one of those spots. You can find more information about the convention at http://www.wisdems.org/events/convention.
