From the Chair:

Dear Democrats,

Get Engaged, Get Involved!!

I would like to wish everyone Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, and Happy New Year.

The 2022 election cycle is just around the corner and as always we cannot wait to begin to engage for the upcoming elections.  We must continue to work every day to get more Democrats to join the Michigan Democratic Party and the Eaton County Democratic Party. You can go to the MDP website and sign up and you will automatically become a member of the ECDP. We currently need to fill a couple of critical positions in our party; Secretary and Events Committee Chair.  Please consider helping us and email me if you are interested. 

We have been meeting in person at Tony M’s restaurant on Creyts Rd. in Eaton County for the last 2 months and have had a nice group attend.  The venue is pretty large and allows us to spread out and social distance and meet safely.  Last month we successfully implemented the zoom component for our meeting so that those that are still not comfortable with a live meeting can still join our meeting via zoom.  We will continue to offer this dual option in 2022. 

Redistricting is about complete and there will be another meeting on December 28 where you will have another opportunity to comment on the proposed maps.  I still have concerns with the proposed house maps due to the removal of the Grand Ledge area from the District and placed in the District to the north of Eaton County. 

Just a quick note on Tom “Covid” Barrett who recently voted NO on the legislation that was passed on a bi-partisan basis that will bring a major investment by GM and a large number of good jobs to Delta Township.  Again Barrett is more interested in his politics and showing very little concern for Eaton County residents. You can read his entire ridiculous statement in the Senate records. He recently left the military due to his opposition to the COVID vaccine mandate imposed on all military personnel.  Thanks to all the thousand of military personnel, including my son, who understood the reason to vaccinate, and continue to protect themselves and our country.  Michigan continues to be very high in COVID cases and our hospitals are at their maximum levels. Hospital staff are at a breaking point and the military medical personnel, who continue to serve, because they are vaccinated, have been deployed to Michigan to help. 

Please consider joining us next month either in person or via zoom at our monthly meeting.
