Democratic Fundraiser in Adirondacks Features Rep. Jamie Raskin and Raises Over $86,000

The Adirondack Democratic fundraiser held last weekend was a huge success, raising over $86,000 and featuring Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin as the keynote speaker. More than 200 donors attended the event in Vermontville, where Raskin emphasized the importance of supporting national Democratic candidates.

Organizer Helen Demong highlighted the significance of the event in connecting the Adirondack community to the national party, especially considering the dominance of Republicans in the region’s elected offices. Despite this, Raskin urged attendees to focus on supporting Democratic candidates at all levels, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Tim Walz.

The crowd at the fundraiser showed enthusiasm for the upcoming presidential race, with a strong commitment to pushing the national Democratic Party forward in November. Raskin’s speech, which touched on key Democratic issues such as healthcare, gun control, and reproductive rights, resonated with the audience.

Overall, the event was a rallying cry for Democrats in the Adirondacks, with Raskin pledging to donate a portion of the funds raised back to Democratic candidates in the region. The energy and support generated at the fundraiser bode well for the party’s prospects in the upcoming elections.
