Westside Democratic HQ & Host Committee (in formation) invite you to join us for dinner with Democrat William Lawrence, who is running to flip Michigan's 7th Congressional District (Lansing area) from red to blue!

This is projected to be one of the tightest races in the country, and all funds raised will go towards Get Out the Vote efforts for William Lawrence this fall, including our WDHQ Sunday phonebanks into Michigan co-hosted alongside William's former classmates at East Lansing High School!

MI-07 is one of the top 10 swing districts in the country. As the Democratic nominee, Will Lawrence is building a powerful coalition to flip MI-07 Blue, reclaim Democratic control of the House, and fight back against Trump's extremist agenda.

The GOP and dark money groups will pour outside money into MI-07 to try and keep the speaker's gavel in Mike Johnson's hands and give Trump a blank check in Congress.

William does not take money from corporate PACs, so he needs your support to ensure we flip MI-07 and stop Trump's extreme agenda.

Come enjoy a Tuesday evening dinner at our Main Street Midterm HQ with fellow volunteers as we prepare to take back Congress, slam the brakes on Trump's reckless agenda & disgraceful corruption, and take our country back!

Thank you for your consideration of financial support to ensure William has the resources to run a successful campaign and help Democrats retake the House majority.

Marni is the Democratic nominee to flip California’s 48th congressional district from red to blue. CA-48 is one of the most competitive swing districts in the country. In 2024, it voted for Vice President Harris by just 2.4%, but narrowly went against Governor Newsom in 2022. Nationwide, only a handful of other districts are as competitive as this one, making it one of the best chances for Democrats to gain a seat in Congress. You can find a link to RSVP here.

If you haven’t met Marni yet, she is a San Diego City Councilmember, a former labor attorney for President Obama, and a returned Peace Corps volunteer. Since launching her campaign, she has been added to the DCCC’s Red to Blue program and has earned the support of EMILY’s List, AAJ PAC, Equality PAC, the California Federation of Labor Unions (AFL-CIO), Brady PAC, GIFFORDs PAC, New Politics, the California Teachers Association, and dozens more elected officials and labor unions. In 2020, she flipped an R+2 district on the San Diego City Council, and she is ready to flip a competitive district blue again.

On the City Council, Marni passed California's first bill banning untraceable ghost guns – and beat the NRA gun lobby in court when they sued. She also led the charge to join Minneapolis's lawsuit against ICE and blew the whistle against ICE weapons training in our community. In Congress, she will work to get ICE's masked mobs off our streets, stand up to Trump’s attacks, and protect our neighbors from lawless government overreach.

CLICK HERE to join us for an overnight weekend trip to San Diego County to canvass for Marni the weekend of October 17-18!
