Friend,
Tomorrow at midnight, the Michigan Democratic Party will close the books on January fundraising and prepare our first public report of the year.
That report matters more than most people realize.
It’s one of the earliest signals of strength heading into a critical election year… Not just for Michigan, but for Democrats across the country who are watching closely.
Republicans and their billionaire donors are already gearing up for 2026. Dark money is lining up. Attack plans are being drafted. And they are betting that grassroots Democrats won’t be organized early enough to stop them.
We intend to prove them wrong.
Early grassroots support is what allows us to build the infrastructure that wins elections, hire organizers, open offices, expand voter outreach, and show up in communities before campaigns hit full throttle.
That work doesn’t start in the summer. It doesn’t start in October. It starts now.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
When we file our report after January 31, it will tell a story about what kind of party we are building and whether we’re ready for the fights ahead.
Thank you for being part of this team.
Onward,
Curtis Hertel
Chair, Michigan Democratic Party
