[applause] good afternoon. I am lindsay paulson, cochair along with kimberly at the polk county democrats event committee. I would like to start out by thinking hour more than 100 volunteers that are here today to make our event successful. This event was built entirely on volunteers. One of the most inspiring things for me has been to watch our political veterans and our local freshmen come together to revive an american tradition. As you are leaving today, please stop and think some of the individuals in the light blue tshirt spread those are your volunteers and individuals who worked hard to make today access but its my honor to begin the presentation from our three headliners and introduce our first headliner Sherry Bustos of illinois. Its fitting we decided to have me introduce the congresswoman, the one who was born in illinois. She represents illinois 17th Congressional District which includes western, central and northern illinois. In her third term, she focuses on job creation
