We are endorsing Angel Coon for Michigan House District 102, and are hosting a Meet and Greet for her on Monday, May 18, at the Shelby Area District Library, from 1-2 pm. Please join us!

We need to remove VanderWall, who does nothing for the people. Angel is our person. She's a hard worker, a tough fighter, and she will represent all the people of Michigan. Please come meet her and find out who she is, and what she stands for, as copied from her website:

Our rights don’t come from government - they belong to the people. I will stand for personal freedom, fair treatment, and the rights of working families, tradespeople, and every resident of District 102.

Healthy communities mean safe neighborhoods, good schools, access to healthcare, and support for local businesses, farms, and skilled tradespeople. When our communities are strong, our whole district succeeds.

Government should serve the people with honesty and accountability. I will fight for transparency, responsible spending, and making sure the tax dollars we pay actually support the services our communities rely on.

Check out Angel’s website for more information.

Hey friends, the National Asparagus Festival is June 12-14. And we are in the parade again!

The parade is on Saturday, June 13. We are working on another fun presentation, an updated float with a “workers” theme. Please mark your calendars and join us! (Pictured are last year’s parade helpers.) We are thinking your kids or grandkids might love to walk in a parade! Dress them in work clothes of any kind: farmers, nurses, firemen, construction workers, mechanics, waitresses/waiters, etc. Kids love to dress up and they would probably love to march in the parade, dressed as their working family members. Get them to the high school by 1:30 pm on 6/13!

We feel it's a critical year in which we must do everything we can to protect democracy. Please join us to learn how to help. 

We have a few resist signs left!

We have a few of the 3 that are pictured, plus a few of one that says “Be informed, not just opinionated.” All signs come with metal frame-stakes for ground installation.

We will be ordering new election-related signs soon! So watch this site or our Facebook page for notices on new signs.

Suggested donations are $15 per sign, or two for $20. Message us at oceanacountydems@gmail.com to learn we we have, now, and to help us work out how to get them to you.

You can also donate via ActBlue at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ocdp-signs-2025 if you prefer, but just let us know by message or email if/when you have done this, so we can be prompt about getting you your sign(s). The signs do come with metal frame-stakes for putting them in the ground.

Your donations will fund our efforts to support Dem candidates in the midterms and hopefully taking over the House, the Senate or both! Thank you, in advance for supporting Dems!
