It will soon be the Democrats' turn to share with you their talking points ahead of the fall election. The Democratic National Convention will take over the United Center in Chicago for four days beginning on August 19th, one month after Republicans wrapped up their convention at Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum. A lot changed that month, with President Joe Biden opting out of his bid for a second term, paving the way for his Vice President, Kamala Harris, to take control of the ticket along with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Kewaunee County Democratic Party Chairperson Stan Johnson says that national enthusiasm has trickled down into local races, including Dr. Kristin Lyerly for U.S. Congress and Renee Paplham for First District Assembly.

In November, Lyerly will face the winner of Tuesday's Republican Congressional primary between State Senator Andre Jacque, Former State Senator Roger Roth, and Tony Wied. Paplham will challenge the winner of Tuesday's Republican Primary between Rep. Joel Kitchens and Kewaunee County Supervisor Milt Swagel. Lyerly and Paplham will appear at a town hall meeting hosted by the Kewaunee County Democratic Party on Monday at 7:00 p.m. in Algoma. You have to register in advance to attend by using this link.
