“We’re excited to have candidates from across the county and state be a part of our early vote rally to prove to Democratic voters in Allen County that we have numerous, exceptional candidates they should vote for,” said Allen County Democratic Party Chairman Derek Camp. “Every community in Allen County deserves quality representation fighting for women’s healthcare, higher wages, better public education, and expanded voting rights. We hope this rally shows voters there are candidates that deserve their support and attention who are fighting for a better Allen County from the ground up.”
