Welcome!

Ann Arbor Democratic Party

Our Mission

The Ann Arbor Democratic Party is dedicated to promoting Democratic values in the greater Ann Arbor area. We engage residents of the Ann Arbor area on issues that matter to our city, mobilize voters to elect Democratic candidates, discuss ballot issues, and work with our colleagues at the local, county, state, and national levels to advance a progressive and inclusive Democratic agenda.

Next Meeting: Saturday, September 13th from 9:30am t0 12pm

Sam Bagenstos on the Road to 2029

Sam Bagenstos is the Frank G. Millard Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School and the Arlene Susan Kohn Professor of Social Policy at the Ford School of Public Policy. He has also served in senior roles at HHS, OMB, and DOJ.

“If Democrats take back power in 2029, the transition will look nothing like we’ve seen before. In the past, new administrations focused on implementing programs and making small changes within existing institutions. That’s no longer enough.”

Come to hear his thoughts on the steps we need to start taking now!
