The Michigan Democratic Party is seeking Election Challengers for the 2020 elections, starting with the March 10 presidential primary. You can make an important contribution to our democracy by volunteering for this important role on Election Day.
We are excited to announce that Lavora Barnes, Chairwoman of the Michigan Democratic Party, will be our Keynote Speaker at the 59th Annual Phil Hart Dinner!
The MDP, during its Spring State Convention on February 11th, announced “Project 83.”
We will be canvassing every Wednesday 5 - 8 p.m. from our office at 17100 Twelve Mile Rd, Southfield, MI 48076 [ map link ]
Our meeting will be in the James Ingram Room in the Adult section of the library.
We will elect members to three MDP State Convention committees and receive/approve any resolutions to forward to the Resolutions Committee. In order to vote, you must be a member of the Michigan Democratic Party for 30 days prior to this convention, unless you were elected Precinct Delegate in August, 2016 - in that case you can join the MDP as late as the day of the convention.
Any new business, or good and welfare.
