This is a meeting not to miss
If you are a Michigan Democrat, by now you probably know that Mark Brewer, who has been the Michigan Democratic Party Chair for 18 years, is being challenged for that position by Lon Johnson.
The UAW, the Teamsters, Senators Stabenow and Levin, and the entire Michigan Democratic House delegation have thrown their support behind Johnson while the Michigan Education Association and over 40 county party chairs are supporting Chair Brewer.
You can read more about this HERE and HERE.
In addition to those posts, I will also have interviews with both men posted here at Eclectablog Monday and Tuesday so check back if that is of interest to you.
In the meantime, you can hear both men speak at the Ann Arbor Dems meeting this Saturday morning.
The meeting is Saturday February 9th, 9:30 AM – 12 NOON at the Ann Arbor Community Center, 625 North Main Street.
Speakers include:
- Mark Brewer, MDP Chair
- Lon Johnson, Candidate for MDP Chair
- John Austin, Michigan’s State Board of Education President (also rumored to be a candidate for governor)
- Dr. Jon Callewaert, Integrated Assessment Program Director of the U-M Graham Institute (he will speak on hydraulic fracturing)
Mark Gaffney, former AFL-CIO President and Candidate for Chair of the 12th District Democratic Party
Congressman John Dingell
