PLEASE HELP LOCAL CITIZENS GO TO THE DNC IN AUGUST!

Eau Claire County Democrats are very honored that our own Linda Norton and Phil Swanhorst were elected as Delegates to represent Eau Claire County and Wisconsin at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.  However, delegates must pay their own hotel, food, and travel expenses, and the Eau Claire County Democratic Party is not permitted to use party funds to send delegates to the DNC. Linda and Phil ‘s congratulatory letter explained that their hotel rooms are assigned by the Democratic Party, but delegates must pay for those rooms themselves:  “Price: $559.73/ night (Set rate for all room types & includes breakfast + 17.4% tax). A minimum four-night stay (Aug 19-22) is required.” Linda and Phil must come up with $2240 each, just for the hotel.

Thank you for the donations already received. Linda just learned that she has received a scholarship from WisDems to pay for her hotel room. So your donations so far will cover half of Phil’s hotel. We still need to help with Linda and Phil’s transportation and food expenses. You can mail or drop off funds at the Democratic Resource Center at 440 Broadway St., Eau Claire, WI 54703. Checks can be made out to “Linda Norton” or “Phil Swanhorst.” They will share the donations.

Can you ALSO help Jodi Emerson attend the DNC?

Eau Claire has another member attending the Democratic National Convention in Chicago!  At the recent Administrative Meeting of the WisDems, Jodi Emerson was picked to be one of only seven Alternate Delegates for Wisconsin. That means that Jodi needs to go to the DNC convention to be ready to vote if any of the Wisconsin Delegates cannot  Like Phil and Linda, Jodi also has to pay her own hotel, food, and travel expenses.  If you can help Jodi, you can mail or drop off funds at the Democratic Resource Center at 440 Broadway St., Eau Claire, WI 54703. Checks can be made out to “Jodi Emerson.”
