Grand Rapids Democratic Committee

ATTENTION - URGENT MESSAGE ABOUT VOTING TONIGHT!!!

Help stop the ban on straight ticket voting by volunteering to speak at a committee meeting tomorrow at 10:30 am in Lansing! Please comment or send us a PM if you're interested and we'll reach out to you.

Straight ticket voting reduces wait times on election day, providing more access the ballot for all, and ensures that Democrats are able to cast votes for all the candidates of their party easily - which helps many candidates get the votes they need.

1st Ward: Stephen Wooden (Temporary)
2nd Ward: Amanda Le'Anne Brunzell and Abigail Choffel
3rd Ward: Henry Atkins
Outside Grand Rapids: Amber Moe and Josh Hodges
