The West Des Moines Democrats are hosting our annual picnic and parade-watching event on Monday, July 3, 2017. We hope you will be able to join us to meet many of the candidates who will be running for office in 2017 and 2018. This will be our biggest event of the year – and we hope to raise money to help our candidates succeed. This is our opportunity to flip West Des Moines from red to blue.

We need volunteers for this event. If you can help, please call Claire Celsi at 515-554-6754 or Claire.celsi@gmail.com
