UPCOMING MEETINGS AND EVENTS
CBS News and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute will host the tenth debate in Charleston, South Carolina. Twitter will be a debate partner. Time TBA.
Our March meeting is a joint meeting with St Croix County Dems. Will Hoffman, the state party’s director of party affairs, will join us to do delegate training. There may be another speaker(s), as well.
This is the non-partisan spring election, when we will elect a new Supreme Court Justice (Go, Judge Karofsky!), county board supervisors; city, village, and town officials; school boards; multi-jurisdictional municipal judge (Amery, Clayton, town and village of Clear Lake, Turtle Lake only). It is also the non-binding presidential primary, which will determine the apportionment of Wisconsin’s delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
Vote for president, U.S. congressional representative, state assemblyperson, and several county officials.
Registration starts at 1:00 to begin the process to be a delegate to the 2020 Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, July 13 – 16. Actual caucus begins at 2:00.

There’s enough fake video out there that the Democratic candidates don’t need make their own. Even if this video was intended to be “tongue in cheek” we’ve seen that not everyone gets the intended humor and takes what they see as fact. We appreciate that on 3/5 Twitter will start labeling videos as “altered” (like showing Nancy Pelosi “drunk” when in fact she doesn’t drink alcohol) and the efforts of WaPo. Too bad Facebook abdicates their responsibility in identifying false ads and videos.
