Blue Wave turns DuPage Blue

It's been three days since Tuesday's election ,but it's still resonating in my mind, and I'm sure in most Milton Township Democrats as well. November 6, 2018, will long be remembered as the day we achieved the challenge laid down by local Democratic leadership 14 years earlier to turn DuPage Blue. With several close races still undecided, Democratic gains in Milton and DuPage were so dramatic both the media and the state Republican party have acknowledged the seismic shift in DuPage from overwhelmingly Republican to majority Democratic. Democratic gains here were top to bottom on the ballot from governor through Congress, the state legislature, the county board and the judiciary. The Blue Wave we hoped and worked so hard for spilled over into neighboring Republican majority counties Will , Kane, and Lake as well. Many reasons contributed to the Dupage Blue Wave. Trump? Yes. Changing demographics? Yes. But both of these would have been for naught if we hadn't fielded the largest and best candidate field ever in DuPage. Once set, countless volunteers stepped up to work passionately for over a year to end one party rule in DuPage, allowing many new Democrats to serve and promote the values we cherish. Time to kick back and celebrate, as Milton Dems will be doing this Thursday at our Candidate Celebratory Fest at Cozymels. For 14 years some said it could not be done. On November 6 we did it. And in two years, with your support, we'll do it again.
