Clinton County Democratic Party

Thank you to all who joined us for our June monthly member meeting this evening!

We had a busy meeting with plenty of updates for members, including our scheduled July environmental cleanups, an update on our plan to attend the St. Johns Concerts in the Park series on June 17, as well as learned about a citizen-driven literacy initiative.

We were joined by a number of candidates and representatives from campaigns, including:
-Bob Pena, a candidate for the 28th State Senate District
-A representative for Ted J. Kilvington for Michigan State Senate, a candidate for the 28th State Senate District
-Hope Lovell, a current Lansing Community College Trustee running for reelection
-A representative from Matt Maasdam's campaign
-A representative from Bridget Brink's campaign
-A representative from William Lawrence for Congress campaign

We also heard an update from State Representative Penelope Tsernoglou's office regarding her recent removal from her appointed committees in the House as well as her upcoming community conversations. Re-Elect Dwight Washington Clinton County Commissioner also provided some updates and perspectives.

Our New Business portion of the meeting included a discussion on the current vs. recently-proposed processes for choosing MSU, UofM, and Wayne State Board of Trustees, a debrief on Congressman Barrett’s town hall, and President Trump’s dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative.

As always, we value the involvement of our members in everything we do, and thank everyone for joining us tonight.

Congressman Tom Barrett will be hosting a "live, interactive town hall" this evening, starting at 7:30pm. If you are signed up to receive his congressional office updates, you likely received an email this morning about it.
