McHenry County Democrats have sent out the following press release inviting the public to its Wednesday night meeting in Woodstock:

Crystal Lake—State Representative Lou Lang (D-Skokie) will share his views on this year’s political and legislative developments in Springfield, and what Illinois Democrats can do to move on and retain the State’s constitutional offices, majorities in the Illinois House and Senate, and continued strength in Washington, at the August 26th meeting of the Democratic Party of McHenry County.

Lang has served in the Illinois House from the 16th District since 1987. He now serves as Assistant Majority Leader in the House of Representatives. He has reintroduced the Equal Rights Amendment in Springfield every year since the early 1990’s and is a recognized leader on education issues.

“As Lou Lang, who has served as State Representative for 22 years, has pointed out it has been a year like no other in Springfield,” said McHenry County Democratic Chair Kathleen Bergan Schmidt. “Illinois has impeached and removed from office a governor and has an unprecedented budget crisis to deal with.”

Lang will speak at the beginning of the Party meeting scheduled to begin at 7 PM, Wednesday, August 26 at the McHenry County Farm Bureau, 1102 McConnell Road in Woodstock.

The public is welcome and admission is free.
