We hope you will join us for the J-J Dinner on Saturday, August 18 at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock for this special occasion.
This year’s featured speaker will be the most popular governor in the country, our very own, Governor Mike Beebe. He will be joined by former chairs of the Democratic Party of Arkansas, who will be honored for their tremendous dedication and service to the Party.
Also joining us for the evening will be our special guest Drew Westen, author of a book which has influenced campaigns and elections around the world, The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation.
Some of you are probably familiar with Drew Westen’s name. He frequently comments on political issues on radio, television, and in print, including appearances on Anderson Cooper 360, The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Hardball, Good Morning America, the Charlie Rose Show on PBS, and in opinion pieces in the Washington Post, the Los Angeles times, CNN.com and the Huffington Post. He has recently become an online columnist for the New York Times and writes for the Times’ Sunday Review.
On top of all that, Dr. Westen has advised a range of candidates and organizations, from presidential campaigns to major nonprofit organizations such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Natural Resources Defense Council, to the Democratic Caucuses of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
And now we’re bringing his experience and expertise to Arkansas.
This exciting evening will also feature U.S. Senator Mark Pryor and Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. We will also be joined by Treasurer Martha Shoffner, Auditor Charlie Daniels, members of the Arkansas legislature, and other elected officials, candidates and leaders.
Please join the Democratic Party of Arkansas for this wonderful celebration of Arkansas Democrats. On August 18, the J-J Dinner will take place at Verizon Area in North Little Rock. Tables and sponsorship opportunities are available for the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner. For more information, contact Amanda Daugherty at (501) 537-0190 or Amanda@cdpstrategies.com
