It will be held at the Logan Golf and Country Club (LGCC), with a social hour beginning at 6:00 pm and dinner at 7:00 pm. (The LGCC is at 710 N 1500 E, Logan.)
We have two wonderful political speakers: Senator Luz
Robles Escamilla and Congressional candidate Doug Owens.
Peter
Corroon, Chair of the State Democratic Party and former mayor
of Salt Lake County, will introduce them.
Luz Robles
Escamilla was first elected to the Utah State Senate 1st District in
2008 and re-elected in 2012. She earned both a BS in Business Marketing and a
Masters in Public Administration from the University of Utah. She is a business
consultant, health policy analyst, and a Director of a major bank’s Business
Resource Center. She is on several boards, mostly dealing with health issues.
In the Senate, she is the Democratic assistant whip and serves on many important
Senate Committees, including the Executive Appropriations Committee, Health and
Human Services Committee, and the Social Services Appropriations
Subcommittee.
Doug
Owens ran for US Congress in the 4th Congressional District a year
ago. He is running again. He graduated from the University of Utah, earned a
law degree from Yale Law School, and is a business attorney in Salt Lake City.
His congressional race attracted considerable national attention because he was
running against Mia Love, the darling of the Republican Party, and did very
well. Despite being outspent 7-to-1, he garnered 47% of the vote. Although he
lost by 7,511 votes, 15,000 Democrats, who had voted 2 years earlier, stayed
home! We all need to learn from that and improve voter turn out. Coupling that
with his opponent’s poor performance in Congress this year gives Doug an even
better chance this time.
It is time to put the JJ Dinner on your calendars and make
your reservations now. (The deadline is this Tuesday, September 15.) The
JJ Dinner will be on Friday, September 18, 2015, at the LGCC starting at 6:00
pm. Go to our website, CacheDems.org, or to our CacheDems
Facebook page and make your reservations. (If you have difficulties, let me
know.) The basic price is $65. However, there are several discounts.
The setting is great, the meal will be wonderful, and the
company will be superb. There are many great silent and live auction items.
The speakers will be amazing. Don’t wait, make
your reservations now!
We look forward to seeing you on the 18th,
Vince Wickwar
Cache Democrats, Chair
