Michigan Supreme Court 

Ex-president and convicted felon Donald Trump is backing extremist Republican Patrick O’Grady in the race for the state Supreme Court against incumbent Justice Kyra Harris Bolden.

Justice Kyra Harris Bolden made history as the youngest and first Black woman to serve on the state’s highest court. She worked to keep abortion access legal in the state of Michigan and stood up for hardworking Michiganders and the rule of law.

Patrick O’Grady could make a different kind of history. If he wins, this Trump-backed extremist could undermine Michiganders’ fundamental rights and take away reproductive freedom in Michigan.

We can’t let MAGA extremists infiltrate the court and undo the progress Justice Bolden has made. We must re-elect Justice Kyra Harris Bolden to the state Supreme Court this fall if we want to protect our future from extremists like Donald Trump and Patrick O’Grady.

It is CRITICAL that we tell our neighbors about who to select for the non-partisan judicial elections. Please share the word on Justice Bolden!

PRECINCT DELEGATES

We have updated our information on precinct delegates to make the process a little easier. Please check out our updated page and participate in the most fundamental elected office in the country!

Entries are closed for 2024, but we'll need you again in 2026!

So you are thinking of running for office...

Depending on your race, you want to visit the website for Michigan Elections and the Secretary of State - Elections to get the overview of what is required for your race. Nearly every race is different.

But there are several great outside groups that can provide advice, support, and a big boost of confidence if this is your first time running (or if you’re a repeat runner looking to learn something new):

Fems for Dems 
Run for Something
The Great Lakes Political Academy 

Each of these organizations overlap to a degree, but they also specialize in some things. The GLPA hosts candidate training and helps you get you on your feet with advice on how to cover the basics of campaigns like literature and the best way to connect with voters. Fems for Dems host amazing events that help with networking and showcasing Democrats running for many kinds of races. Run for Something is a national group that inspires and aids the next generation of leaders with mentorship, fundraising help, and many other kinds of assistance.

You also want to reach out to state democratic caucuses. They have caucuses for farmers, progressives, women, African-Americans, various communities, and many others. Those official caucuses and clubs are all on the Michigan Democratic Party Website - Caucuses 

Chances are, you’re thinking of starting small. Not all of us can rocket from obscurity to the presidency like President Obama did. Perhaps you want to sit on a local library board to advance literacy and protect access to all books. Maybe you want to be a township clerk to help with elections. Maybe you want to join a school board or a city council. For these kinds of races, it’s a great bet to start with their respective websites.

Michigan Townships Association - Running for Office
Greenville Public Schools - Board of Education
Flat River Community Library Board

The above three groups are examples, but they also have lots of information that carries over to other organizations. For example, the information on the Greenville School Board resources also apply to Carson City-Crystal or Vestaburg’s School Boards.
Lastly, be sure to contact us at the MCDP so we can assist as well!
