Jason Crow | Special Guest and Keynote Speaker
We are thrilled to announce that Congressman Jason Crow (@jasoncrowco) will be joining the Kane County Democrats as our keynote speaker for this year’s Truman Dinner! From serving as an Army Ranger to leading the charge for accountability and democracy in D.C., Rep. Crow knows what it means to put country over politics. As we look toward the 2026 midterms, there is no better voice to help us fire up the grassroots and keep Illinois moving forward. Jason Crow has served as the United States representative for Colorado’s 6th congressional district since 2019. In November 2025, Crow was one of six people, all Democratic lawmakers, to be part of a video telling servicemembers they can refuse illegal orders.

In 2025, millions of Americans came together in nonviolent protest to oppose the growing authoritarian actions of the Trump administration and affirm that this nation belongs to its people, not to kings. Since then, people have continued to rise up nonviolently against the Trump administration’s ongoing brutality and abuses of power, including the latest escalation in Minnesota. The No Kings Coalition is activating an immediate and ongoing nationwide digital organizing effort leading up to our next mass mobilization on March 28.
