She persisted: A virtual event with special guest Celinda Lake
Join us and guest speaker Celinda Lake on Friday, March 26 for an event in support of our work recruiting and training Montana women to run for office.
Celinda Lake is a nationally recognized Democratic pollster, political strategist, and founder of Lake Research Partners. And she's from Montana. Celinda is one of the nation's foremost experts on electing women and framing issues for women voters. Women are the backbone of the Democratic party, and women are the key to taking back seats here in Montana. Celinda will visit with us about that.
Join us at 6 pm on Friday, March 26! We'll also have an online auction, give out awards honoring Montana political women, and honor our sponsors.
Suggested donation is $50. You'll receive an email with the Zoom link the day of the event.
Last year your contributions at our springtime Coffee with Carol's List (which we usually do the Sunday after the Montana Democratic Party's Mansfield-Metcalf dinner) allowed us to:
support three candidates in a primary for the first time ever (and one of those candidates is a freshman state senator today)
train one-third of the Democratic women who filed to run in Montana
endorse a record number of candidates.
This year, you'll help us invest in early trainings, early recruitment, and in building a network of progressive women that can outlast any one election cycle.
We're looking forward to returning to our usual Sunday in-person brunch next year. But in the meantime, please join us for this online Friday night event by registering here.

Christine Kaufmann and partner Pat Kemp, state Sen. Diane Sands, former state Sen. Margie MacDonald, former state Sen. Richard Barrett, former U.S. Rep.
