A Lake County Grassroots Democratic Organization
|
On April 29, 2004, a new political organization was formed in Lake County to give a group of people who had been in the silent minority for many years, a voice in their community.
This group, The Warren Township Democrats, is comprised of concerned members of the community along with precinct committeemen and others who want to affect changes in Lake County, state and federal governments to benefit all the residents of our communities.

Warren Township Democrats is sponsoring a section of highway in Lake County through the
Adopt-A-Highway program. We are responsible for a 1 mile stretch on Stearn School Road from Dilley's
Road to Rt. 41. We began this program in April 2007 and are committed for at least 2 years to perform
semi-annual clean-ups on this highway. We have had 5 successful clean-up days with the most recent
being June 2009. We had a great turnout which was documented by a photographer and reporter with the
Lake County Journal. Our last clean-up was held in October 2009. Please contact us if you are interested
in helping. We have signed up to continue the program and have the same stretch of highway.
