We don't just celebrate a holiday—we recommit to the unfinished work of democracy. Join us in standing up for voting rights, truth, and equality right here in our community.
President - On The Record
November 2025
Dear Grand Dems & Friends, As I end my two-year term as Grand Dems President, I am reminded of how old I am, 80, and what I have witnessed during my lifetime.
​
My family got our first TV in 1951, and I had the opportunity as a 7-year-old to watch the 1952 convention electing Adlie E Stevenson, Democrat of Illinois, as the Presidential Democratic Candidate. Of course, he ran two unsuccessful campaigns against the popular Dwight D Eisenhower (R). The popular “We Like Ike” theme won the day twice. And as a kid, glued to the radio, I was fine with that.
