Greetings Everyone!

How about those November 4th Election Day results?? Democrats across the country were energized and pitched in to help in those important Swing State races. Independents turned out too, and even some Republicans had second thoughts and switched sides or stayed home.

Many of us wrote postcards for Abigail Spannberger in Virginia, or the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, or Mikey Sherrill in New Jersey. Many of us donated $$ and made phone calls and text messages… AND IT WORKED! Thank you to all who took the time to help push Democrats and Democratic proposals (Prop 50) across the finish line.

We meet next Monday, November 10 at 6:30 PM at the Naperville Municipal Center to look back at what we’ve accomplished and plan how to move forward. Our local, County and State-wide candidate and PC petitions have been filed and we are getting ready for the 2026 primary. The agenda is at go.ltdo.org/nov-agenda.

Patrick Watson will join us at our LTDO meeting and talk about opportunities to become active in fighting Trump’s authoritarianism, ICE illegal actions, and the Republican party’s move towards Fascism.

Don’t miss it!

Anticipated cuts to SNAP benefits could have a significant impact on families across Illinois, exacerbating food insecurity during a time when many are already struggling with rising costs. Loss of these benefits means many Lisle Township residents risk losing access to basic nutrition.

Together, we can fight hunger!

I’m excited to personally invite you to a holiday tea party with me and Senator Celina Villanueva on Thursday, December 12th from 3-5 PM.

After a stressful year, I need a chance to unwind. I’m hoping this tea party will be a chance for us to sit back and get together before the holidays. It will also be an excellent chance to chat with me, Senator Villanueva, and supporters.

I’m really looking forward to this chance to get together before the holidays.

To RSVP use this link or email joshua@1833group.com. We have limited space so RSVP fast!

Please make checks payable to:

Sincerely,
Representative Dagmara “Dee” Avelar
