Democratic Dinner

Glenn Poshard, a former state senator, U.S. congressman and gubernatorial candidate, was the keynote speaker at the Fayette County Democratic Central Committee chicken dinner on Saturday night at the American Legion Home in Vandalia. Poshard has been asked by the Democratic County Chairmen's Association to help with its "Get Out the Vote" drive, visiting 48 counties in Illinois. Poshard said his message during those stops is "what it means to be a Democrat, the values that we always stood for." Also speaking  at the dinner were county candidates Stephen Friedel (state's attorney), Ashley Towler (circuit clerk) and Lori Hall Carter (coroner).
