Cinco-de Mayo

The 2009  Tres de Mayo, hosted by the the Maricopa County Democratic Party and the Foothill Democrats, was an outstanding success.

More than 200 Democrats enjoyed a grand fiesta buffet Sunday evening with music, dancing, prizes, and a silent auction. Speakers included MCDP Chair Ann Wallack, Corporation Commissioner Sandra Kennedy, County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, Attorney General Terry Goddard, U.S. Congressman Harry Mitchell, and former Arizona Democratic Party Chair Jim Pederson.

The Foothills Democrats celebrate the many contributions of our Hispanic history with our Cinco de Mayo social. Authentic Mexican food and music in a festive atmosphere. Join other Democrats from across the Valley in this celebration.  Watch the website for information for our 2010 celebration.
