Update October 27, 2025 - Ingham County Democratic Party

This is an initial meeting with Mason-area Dems to prepare for the 2026 Election and determine next steps to recruit and support local candidates, and to provide ground support for state and federal candidates and proposals. There are many ways to achieve these goals, depending on interests, skill sets, and determination.

This meeting is for those who live in or are interested in helping organize in the City of Mason and the surrounding townships of Aurelius, Alaiedon, Vevay, and other parts of the Mason School District.
