Fellow Democrats,

I am pissed.

Elections have consequences and we just watched that play out after a month of terrible decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court.

If you had any doubt about the importance of the 2022 elections in Michigan, this should be your wake up call. Who we elect matters.

We only have 128 days to spread this message across the state, about all candidates from the top of the ticket through the non-partisan races. That means re-electing Governor Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Attorney General Dana Nessel. As well as voting for Democrats for congress, the state house, and the state senate. We also need to re-elect Justice Bernstein and elect Kyra Bolden to the State Supreme Court.

With a pro-choice Governor, a democratic led legislature, and a democratic majority on the State Supreme Court, we might just be able to save abortion rights in Michigan. It is going to take that trifecta to ensure those rights are protected for generations to come.

Join me today in supporting Democrats in Michigan. It is going to take incredible resources, dollars and volunteers, to reach every voter in all 83 counties of Michigan.

Now is the time to get to work, we don’t have a minute to waste.

In Solidarity,

Early Voting Info for August 2 Primary

Voting is underway for the August 2 primary! You can vote before Election Day in any of these ways:

If you are on the Permanent Absentee Application List, you should have received an absentee ballot application in the mail. Remember, you have to fill out and return the application in order to get your ballot mailed to you. Be sure to check the box for “August 2 primary election and November 8 general election” in Section 2 so that you’ll be mailed a ballot for November without having to apply again this year.
If you have a Michigan driver’s license or state ID, you can apply for your absentee ballot online and have it mailed to you.
Go in person to your city or township clerk’s office, apply for an absentee ballot, and vote it right there. Find your clerk’s location and hours here.
Need a paper application for an absentee ballot? Call your city or township clerk and ask to have an application mailed to you, or download and print the application here.
Questions? Call the MDP Voter Assistance Hotline, 1-833-MI-VOTES (1-833-648-6837).
