We need to see the names of Democrats running for election in all positions when we fill out a ballot. Running for office is tough and can be disappointing, but we won't have our voices heard in government unless our party members step up to run. We need candidates at every level of government.

The facts support that when we have candidates for all elected positions to support we grow the membership in our local party as we strive to elect more Democrats.

A member of the RCDP is taking part in a program called “Contest Every Race”. It is a training series to assist the RCDP in finding and supporting candidates for every election. We welcome your questions about running for office. Joining our party is a good way to start.

In 2026 there will be races for offices in Michigan to include the Governor, Attorney General, and Sec of State. In addition to the seat of US Senate that was opened by the retirement of Sen Peters, we will share some of the latest news about these races, but it is not the policy of the RCDP to endorse these candidates at this time.
