MDLCC Cookout
You’re invited to the Montana Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (MDLCC) annual Caucus Quarry Cookout! We don’t know if you’ve heard, but the news is starting to report on what we’ve known for a while - Democrats are poised to break the Republican supermajority! But we need your help.
Join us for this annual tradition to meet our amazing slate of legislators and candidates from across the state who are ready to take on the Republicans.
Sunday, August 11
Martin’s Quarry, 502 Chaucer Street Helena, MT 59601
VIP Event for Sponsors at 1:00 pm
Main Event at 2:00 pm
We’ll have plenty of food and vegetarian options, but please let us know if you have a food allergy so we can make accommodations.
We are excited to share this event with you because we know our legislators and candidates will be glad to share stories about what they fight for in the Legislature and what they hear on the campaign trail. Our candidates work incredibly hard to get elected so they can pass legislation to make Montana a better place for you and working families across the state. They always look forward to meeting constituents, sharing a beer or two, and hearing directly from folks like you about how to keep Montana the Last Best Place.
If you are interested in an open bar, a tasty meal, and spending time with some Democrats on a Sunday in August, you can get your ticket today before they’re all sold out!
Tickets for individuals are $50, if you are able to donate more it will help us break the supermajority this year!
