Halverson: Dems Among Friends in Portage County

Following the reports of the party committees, the group of 460 delegates and guests received welcomes from Portage County Co-Chair Lois Lawler and Stevens Point Mayor Andrew Halverson.

Halverson pointed to high vote levels in support of John Kerry in 2004 and Jim Doyle in 2006 in Portage County and told those assembled "in Portage County, Democrats are, to say the least among friends."
