Eleanor Roosevelt luncheon to feature Jena Griswold

The Utah Democratic Party’s 27th Annual Eleanor Roosevelt Luncheon is Nov. 30 at noon. It will be a virtual event.

Leslie Reberg will receive the Eleanor Roosevelt Award. She is the Chief Deputy Recorder for Salt Lake County and a longtime Democratic activist and organizer.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold will join the celebration as guest speaker. Griswold is Colorado’s 39th Secretary of State and the youngest Secretary of State in the country.

Additionally, when elected in 2018, Jena was the first democratic Secretary of State in Colorado since 1958, the first democratic woman Secretary of State in Colorado’s history, and only the 10th woman in Colorado’s history to hold a current statewide constitutional office.

Secretary Griswold grew up working class in rural Colorado and knows how important it is for everyday Americans to have their voices heard in our democracy. In 2019, Griswold spearheaded and passed into law one of the largest democracy reform packages in the nation.

This year, she was a leading voice in expanding mail ballots to every eligible American.

As fellow Western Democrats, we are all very excited to hear from Secretary Griswold and hope that you will join us virtually on Monday, November 30th at 12:00 pm. Get tickets HERE.
