Greetings Michigan Democrats!

I am honored and humbled that you have elected me for another term as Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party. I’m proud of all we have accomplished over the past four years to elect Democrats up and down the ticket— from President Joe Biden to school boards throughout the state— and I can’t wait for more wins over the next two years.

Some of our victories are paying off as Michigan Democrats start to deliver. On gun safety, LGBTQ+ rights, abortion protections and more, Governor Whitmer and state legislative leaders are keeping our promises, protecting basic human rights, and building a state that allows every Michigander to thrive. Over the next few months, Michigan will show the nation how Democrats can help working people.

Meanwhile, Michigan Republicans are in disarray as they continue using their same old playbook: pushing extremism and election denial while opposing commonsense legislation at the Capitol.

But now is not the time to fall asleep at the switch — to protect everything we’ve won we have to double down on our hard work. We can’t take the “off year” off, and we can’t count on our opponents to drop the ball.

That’s why myself and the MDP are working relentlessly to recruit candidates, build local parties through Project 83, and get our message out. We are making it clear that the Michigan Democratic Party won’t rest on our laurels. But we can’t do this work without your support. If you want to get more involved, you can learn how to take action HERE.

Finally, this month marks the beginning of Women’s History Month. Michigan Democrats are lucky to have women in critical leadership positions, but we know there is so much more work to do to achieve true equality. Let’s take this month to recommit ourselves to that fight.

Stay safe and healthy, and I look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail.

So far there are five podcasts ready for your listening pleasure and more coming each week.

Hello from the Voter Protection Team -- 

There's no question it is an exciting time to be a Michigan Democrat! We had an historic 2022 -- we reelected strong leaders like Governor Whitmer, Secretary Benson, and Attorney General Nessel; flipped the legislature; passed ballot proposals to protect voting and reproductive rights -- and with Michigan set to be an early state in the 2024 presidential nominating process, we know that the eyes of the nation are on us. 

Every one of our voter protection volunteers played an integral part in securing those 2022 wins. Volunteers ensured eligible voters had access to the ballot and that those ballots were counted (and recounted!) fairly and accurately. Voter protection volunteers made sure that Michganders' voices were heard last year. Thank you again to everyone who was part of the team in 2022! 

But we know that the threats of voter suppression and election subversion are not defeated. Despite our gains, there are still those who cling to election denialism and are actively working on ways to attack the next election. That's why we always say there are no "off years" in voter protection! 

Come find out what the MDP's Voter Protection Team has planned for 2023 and 2024 at our Kick-Off Event on March 23 at 7 pm. We'll introduce our new team, talk about the elections coming up in 2023, discuss what Prop 2 means for voting in Michigan, preview how we're preparing for 2024, and talk about how you can get involved. Sign up here -- we look forward to seeing you! 

We are celebrating Women's History month in our store! Show your alliance with women's rights and the MDP with one of our cool tees. Check 'em out!
