Democrats, Independents, Republicans, Neighborhood Communities, Nurses, Teachers, Organized Labor, Veterans & more are energized & mobilizing and organizing for VP Harris presidential campaign.
Congresswoman Lauren Underwood: “So proud to welcome our Next President Kamala Harris to the great state of Illinois.”
Kamala Harris has what it takes to win if we come together, knock on doors, talk to our neighbors, and show just how Democrats can protect and advance real freedom.
Kamala Harris: “Our teachers, nurses, and firefighters should not be paying more in taxes than billionaires. That’s why I support a billionaire minimum tax and will ensure corporations pay their fair share.”
Kamala Harris’ strength among working-class families and growing interest from entrepreneurs, independents, undecideds, young adults and small business owners could push her to victory. She has a proven track record of supporting policies like banning medical debt from credit reports and expanding childcare tax credits to give people the financial room to breathe.
Labor Day—House Democrats Parade
Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris: “In order to grow America’s economy, we must invest in workers, we must invest in families, we must invest in institutions, and we must invest in our small businesses.”
“Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency. Because when the middle class is strong, America is strong.”
Kamala Harris is addressing an issue that’s come up at home and in grocery aisles nationwide: Inflation. Prices are too high, she said. “When I was attorney general, I went after price-fixing schemes. And when I am president, it will be my day one priority to fight to bring down prices.” She said she would do so by taking on corporations over price gouging and corporate landlords raising rents.
Lake County Democrats
Lake County veterans and supporters came together for a premier veterans’ party during the Democratic National Convention. The event was co-hosted by the Illinois Veterans for Change, VoteVets, the Lake County Democrats Veterans Committee, and others.
Former members and active-duty personnel packed the IBEW Local 134 union hall to hear why veterans need to elect Democrats.
Weekly Newsletter: Doing Something
Lake Dems organized seventeen formal Day of Action events held last Saturday all over Lake County and beyond. We also had many pop-up events.

We made phone calls, sent texts, wrote 10,000 postcards to swing states (yes, you read that right!), and knocked on doors in Lake County and Wisconsin!
Let’s support Harris-Walz and send the message to the MAGA extremists that we’re not going back. –Lake County Democrats

“We can’t hope that we defeat Donald Trump, we can’t hope that we can collectively bargain, we can’t hope we protect Social Security, we can’t hope that we address climate change. You don’t hope to win; you plan, prepare, and work to win.” VP Nominee Tim Walz

QUOTE: “I’m Kamala Harris, and I’m running for President of the United States. In this election, we each face a question, What kind of country to we want to live in? There are some people who think that we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate. But us, we choose something different. We choose freedom. The freedom not just to get by but get ahead.

We choose a future where no child lives in poverty, where we can all afford healthcare, where no one is above the law. We believe in the promise of America and we’re ready to fight for it because when we fight, we win. So, join us, go to https://kamalaharris.com and let’s get to work.”
“Any so-called leader who is about beating down other people is a coward. The real measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. That’s what this campaign is about.” Kamala Harris
Steve Kerr—Former NBA Player for the Chicago Bulls
Chicago Bulls Legend Steve Kerr, “I believe leaders must display dignity. I believe that leaders must tell the truth… If you look for those qualities in your friends or boss—shouldn’t you want that in your president? It’s so basic but honestly, it speaks to me because that’s the kind of leader I want my children knowing represents America.”
NBA Coach Steve Kerr Spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention

“When you’re having a medical emergency, you should be able to access the care you need. But since 2022, we’ve seen a rise in pregnant women being turned away from ERs. Republicans’ abortion bans are putting lives at risk. We must restore reproductive freedom for all.”
“Two years ago, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law—delivering prescription drug costs, creating clean energy jobs and helping ensure the ultra-wealthy pay their share in taxes. Every single Republican in Congress voted against it.

Democrats Deliver in Illinois
Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses
Kamala Harris: “As President, one of my highest priorities will be to support small businesses. Small businesses in our country employ half of all private sector workers—generating revenue that helps repair our roads and pay our teachers. They are part of the glue that holds our communities together.”
Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. “In order to grow America’s economy, we must invest in workers, we must invest in families, we must invest in institutions and we must invest in our businesses. Our small businesses are part of the fabric and culture of our communities. Our small business leaders are not just business leaders. They are civic leaders. They are community leaders. They hire locally. They mentor. They inspire. And when we talk about the strength of our nation, all of those attributes are a part of growing our strength. Together, we will continue our work to advance economic opportunity and build an economy where every American can thrive.
“Small business owners need the confidence, capital, and security to get off the ground. Our plan will help them do it. The Harris-Walz Plan will help entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground with a 10X Expansion in Tax Deductions for startup expenses from $5,000 to $50,000.”
Mark Cuban, Entrepreneur & Investor: “Kamala Harris is pro-business. She’s talked more about entrepreneurs and helping them have access to investment than any president that I’ve ever heard.”
Former President Barack Obama: “As Kamala Harris said, small businesses are the essential fabric of our communities. And she laid out some smart ways to help support our entrepreneurs. Just like she did as Vice President, Kamala will strengthen small businesses all across the country, including in communities that have too often been overlooked.”

“Kamala Harris is a champion for the working class, and like all great leaders, Kamala Harris knows it’s not all about her. It’s about the people. …But we know who we’re dealing with. Donald Trump is a scab. And his sidekick isn’t any better. JD Vance is a vulture. Every time Donald Trump gets a chance, he trashes our union, and he trashes the working class. …Well let me tell you something: Donald Trump doesn’t know shit about the auto industry, and he doesn’t give a damn about the working class.” UAW President Shawn Fain
Kamala Harris: “Tim Walz and I accepted the nomination for President and Vice President of the United States. Our campaign will work every day until November—with joy, optimism, and faith—to win this fight.”
