Program: Campaign 2024

I had the honor to represent Manistee County and Michigan’s Second Congressional District as a delegate to the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month. I was genuinely overwhelmed by the high energy celebration of joy, hope, and positive messages for the future delivered by the Harris/Walz campaign. This was truly a special event with a positive, future-focused leadership message that has been too rare in US politics over the past 8 long years.

The convention was not just about what you see on TV from the arena. Michigan delegates were expected to attend meetings each day where we learned from subject matter experts and elected officials up and down the ballot about key issues and proposed legislative action they are working on for the benefit of all Americans, not just Democrats. We learned more about the commonsense legislation plans that will improve Social Security, expand Medicare and Medicaid, expand public education to include college and skilled trades, mitigate climate change, prevent gun violence, update immigration policy, provide affordable housing, provide affordable childcare, and paid family leave.

We attended training sessions that provided best practices for organizing and connecting with issues that are important to rural voters like our friends

and families here in Manistee County. Michigan delegates were challenged to return home and get to work supporting actions for social, financial, and environ-
mental justice.

This old college football player was certainly fired up by “Coach” Walz’s pep talks during the convention as he challenged us all to get in the trenches and do the blocking and tackling necessary to win this election for Democrats up and down the ballot

I am proud of the positive messages that the Manistee County Democratic Party has been delivering during this campaign. If you have any doubts about how to cast your vote in this election, please stop by our River Street office to have a meaningful conversation.

If you are a life-long conservative/
independent voter who does not like the torrent of lies from the would-be autocrat who has virtually destroyed the GOP, please consider the alternative and vote in this election.

We Believe

All people are created equal, that this is America's Fundamental ideal.
That America is a democracy by and for the people: ruled by the constitution and ins interpretations, protected by the Bill of Rights, and inspired by the Declaration of Independence.
These founding documents demand Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity for all Americans, in full and equal measure - regardless of who you are, what you believe or where you live.
That the Duty of government is to strive endlessly to make the ideals of Freedom, Justice and Opportunity a reality for all.
That the Purpose of government is to protect our nation, defend our democracy, and to endlessly promote the welfare of each and every one of us.
That fighting for these ideals is our purpose as a political party.
