Our Mission
The Lake Ashton Democratic Club (LADC) of Polk County, Florida is an active political organization that serves as a common meeting ground for all Democrats. Dedicated to furthering the ideals of the Democratic Party, we also welcome non-party affiliated kindred spirits.
Snowflakes Are Back!
Get Involved with a great group of like minded individuals to help prepare for the 2023/2024 Elections. We meet every Tuesday evening at the HFC Community Ctr in the poker room from 6-8pm.
Snowflakes at Work!
This is important work that helps your fellow Democrats to be (re)Elected!
Our Democratic Way of Life Is At Risk!
If you want to save our Democracy, you have to VOTE!
If you want a say in what gets put into law – VOTE!
(You know what the Republicans stand for! If you want that, vote Republican)
That means vote in local and county elections. That means vote in State elections. That means vote in National elections.
That means vote in EVERY election!
DON’T LET DEMOCRACTY DIE FROM APATHY
80 MILLION REGISTERED VOTERS DON’T VOTE!
DON’T LET DEMOCRACY DIE FOR YOUR CHILDREN
Save yourself time and frustration… Vote by Mail!
