Democratic Main Street HQ Opens for DSU Parade!

The new Lake County Democratic Party Headquarters is open! We kicked off with our grand opening and bake sale yesterday during the Dakota State University "Trojan Days" Homecoming Parade. Headquarters is located on the north 200 block of Egan Avenue, in the old antique/saddle & tack shop. Stop in, pick up some yard signs and campaign literature, and ask what you can do to help Democrats win in November!

Scott Parsley and his mom Mary are all smiles about Scott's District 8 Senate campaign. So is county party chair Joan Stamm, behind them at the table, as more support rolls in!

District 8 House candidate Gerry Lange takes a lunch break after marching the length of Egan Avenue for the Homecoming parade. Lake Herman neighbor and county party treasurer Cory Heidelberger has to hold on tight to keep up with Gerry!

Gerry's partner on the House ticket, Mitch Fargen of Flandreau, loves Madison! He had a great time at the parade, then went knocking on doors—a true campaigner!

Public Utilities Commission candidate Matt McLarty enjoyed meeting lots of Madison voters along the sunny parade route.

We've got 'em on the run! GOP Senate candidate Joel Dykstra takes one look at the Lake County Democrats Headquarters and heads for the hills!

What's GOP Senate candidate Russ Olson thinking? "Dang! I wish the Republicans had nice headquarters like that!"
