Join Your Monroe County Democratic Party for our annual Fall Holiday Judge Viola Taliaferro Dinner. Named after the first Black woman on the bench in Monroe County, we celebrate our Democratic community and prepare to take back the Statehouse, the Indiana 9th and Governor's Mansion in 2024.

This year's dinner will honor party leaders who have built the party, volunteered long hours, and have been trailblazers in our whole community.

For her lifelong progressive advocacy, LGBTQIA+ rights and more, we honor Jeanne Smith with the 2023 Viola Taliaferro Award!

We will hear from candidates for state and Federal offices, including:

US Senate hopefuls Marc Carmichael, Valerie McCray, and Keith Potts - all confirmed
Indiana 9th Congressional District Candidates
Indiana Attorney General Candidate Destiny Wells
Indiana House 62nd Candidate Thomas Horrocks - confirmed, and
Candidate for Governor Jennifer McCormick - confirmed

Sponsorships begin at $250, individual tickets are $55 general admission/$30 students. MCDP will not turn away attendees with hardship. Reach out to alex@monroedems.org for more information.
