Hi Friend,
I’m so excited that Celebrate Progress is just under a month away! This year, on Wednesday November 3rd, starting at 6:00PM, we’ll be hosting our biggest fundraiser of the year. The virtual gala is a space to come together and honor some of Nevada’s most trailblazing progressive heroes who made a difference in their communities this year.
I’d so love to see you there, even virtually, to share this special moment with us! Be sure to grab your ticket today to receive your BBP care package of fun and interesting goodies. You can also become a monthly donor to help us 365 days a year and receive a complimentary ticket!

Former Lt. Governor Kate Marshall
Former Lieutenant Governor Kate Marshall may have taken a new job in the Biden-Harris administration as a Senior Advisor to Governors, but we know home will always mean Nevada to her! She has earned 2021’s Progressive Leader of the Year Award for her leadership during this extremely challenging year. From coordinating outreach around the 2020 Census in preparation for upcoming redistricting, to leading the Nevada Senate as they passed major legislation providing relief to Nevadans struggling during the pandemic, Lt. Governor Marshall will be sorely missed here in the Silver State!

Marlene Lockard
Marlene Lockard is a Nevada institution unto herself. Her professional achievements are far too numerous to summarize here, but they include her service as Nevada’s first woman Chief of Staff to Governor Richard Bryan, and her extensive career breaking ground for women in IT in both the public and private sector. She has worked as one of Nevada’s premier progressive lobbyists in the Nevada legislature, as the head of her own lobbying firm, The Lockard Group. We’re so lucky to know her and she has more than earned the 2021 Progressive Legacy Award for Northern Nevada!

Bradley Schrager
Out in Front super-fans will recognize Bradley Schrager as our resident legal expert. What you may not know is that Bradley has had a long career fighting for our democratic system, including this most recent 2020 election, where he helped beat back all the Big Lie lawsuits from the wannabe-Guiliani’s in our own state. But he’s even more proud of advocating on behalf of low-wage workers taking their bosses to task for wage theft. He’s our Southern Nevada pick for the 2021 Progressive Legacy Award!

Sincerely,
PS: Help spread the Celebrate Progress cheer by sharing the Facebook Event with all your progressive friends!
