The Democratic Party of Sawyer County and Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation invites everyone to the grand opening of our new headquarters from 2 to 4 p.m., Wednesday, May 27, at 13827 County Highway B in Hayward 54843. A ribbon cutting is set for 3 p.m.
The new office is located between Koobie’s Coffee and the LCO Credit Union at the intersection of Highway K and Highway B. Look for the bright blue and white Democratic Party sign on Highway B.
The office will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Additional hours and days will be added later.
Volunteers will staff the office to answer questions about voter registration and procedures, as well as federal, state, and local candidates for 2026 elections. Volunteers will also give visitors information about ways they can help get out the vote for upcoming elections.
A partisan primary election is set for August 11 and the general election for November 3. We will also distribute candidate signs as they become available.
Please join us to meet your neighbors over snacks, discuss issues, and plan for increasing voter turnout this year.
Sawyer County and LCO Democrats are working together to fulfill America’s promise as a land of freedom, opportunity, and justice for all. We are committed to electing Democratic candidates at all levels of government.
