Candidates 2010 - Dems want YOU!

The only thing it takes to get involved in local politics is a commitment to your community. You can get involved in candidate or issue campaigns:

• Run for office - Give people a choice! Too often Republican candidates run unopposed
• Serve as a Party precinct delegate - Our county needs more representatives at the State Party level. Many seats are left unfilled
• Request committee appointment for a township or county commission - Citizen representatives are frequently needed to serve on committees including parks & recreation, housing, green space committees, etc.
• Help with fundraisers
  
• Volunteer to talk to people about candidates or collect ballot signatures on issues you care about
  
• Help on the website or on print materials

training opportunities

The Michigan Democratic Party provides membership and fundraising training for free. Watch our homepage for announcements.

Overall, there were gains in seating progressive candidates in Clinton County. Our local Dems organziation will strive to increase the number of Democratic candidates in local races. Obama won in Clinton County so we know there are people who are willing to listen to new ideas and to elect fresh faces.

We need brave candidates to fill the slate in 2010! Start thinking about it a candidacy now. Contact Rob at mack906@comcast.net for information on becoming a candidate. If you aren't already a member, email Scott at thenicholsgroup@yahoo.com to get involved.
