What:
The 2008 Jefferson-Jackson Dinner is the Florida Democratic Party's annual fundraising event. One of the most respected Democratic leaders in the country will be headlining the Party's 2008 Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, and we hope you can join us. Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Clinton's staunchest supporters, has thrown his full support to Barack Obama, and he's coming to Florida to help bring our Party together once and for all.
Gov. Rendell has always been a fighter for America's working families. As Mayor of Philadelphia he wrote the how-to book for solving a big city's problems. He's improved government at every step, and that's why the people of Pennsylvania reelected him by 20 points in 2006 over a well-funded Republican candidate. Gov. Rendell knows that Sen. Obama can bring our economy out of this Republican recession. With a Democrat back in the White House, we'll turn the page on the past eight years of reckless Bush Republican policies.
