About 600 members of the Sarasota County Democratic Party converged at the annual Kennedy King Dinner, the party’s largest fundraising event of the year. U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro, a Democrat who has served Texas's 20th congressional district since 2013, was this year’s keynote speaker.
“We always try to bring in a political insider and a Democratic rising political star,” SCDP Chairwoman JoAnne DeVries said. “It was a sold-out event filled with energized Democrats and we were delighted that Congressman Joaquin Castro accepted our invitation.”
