Dear John, Please save the date for The Connecticut Democratic Party's 2026 John Bailey Dinner on Saturday, September 19th, at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. We are pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Stacey Abrams, one of the nation's most influential voices on democracy, civic engagement, and building political power. |
A political leader, business owner and New York Times bestselling author, Stacey Abrams is a tax attorney by training who served eleven years in the Georgia House of Representatives, seven as Minority Leader, and was the first Black woman to become a gubernatorial nominee for a major party in United States history. Over the course of her career, she has worked on democracy protection, voter engagement, tackling social issues, and building a more equitable future in the South.
We are also proud to honor Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney with the William O’Neil award in recognition of his decades of leadership, service, and commitment to Democratic values in Connecticut.
Ticket and sponsorship information will be available soon. We hope you will join us for this very special evening. Sincerely, Sarah Locke
Executive Director, CT Dems |
