Good morning, fellow Democrats! Our final club meeting for this calendar year is scheduled for October 28 at 7:00 PM. Location is TBD; but there will be a Zoom option regardless. (The Zoom link will be sent out a few days before the meeting.)

Our guest speakers are:
Kelly Farrah, President of the Ferndale Area District Library Board
Charlie Cavell, our County Commissioner

This meeting takes place two days before the start of in-person early voting. Citizens of Ferndale may vote in person between October 24 and November 1 at the Hazel Park Community Center, located at 620 W. Woodward Heights Blvd. in Hazel Park.

Meanwhile, some progress has been made distributing slate cards for our two cities. But we have a huge number of cards remaining! Everyone knows about the candidates at the top of the ballot. But not everyone knows about the local candidates; those running in nonpartisan races; or the two major state ballot proposals. These slate cards will help inform Lean Democrats and Independent voters, whom we need to ensure a Democratic victory in our state legislature and Democratic representation in Congress. Even a few hours’ time leaving these slate cards at the homes of these voters will help. Please contact me by phone (313-283-7578) or email ([email protected]) if you can assist with this project.

I'm sure inquiring minds want to know whether the Ferndale Area Democrats will have a Bar Night this week. The answer is no. Going forward, our Bar Nights will be on a quarterly basis instead of monthly. Our next Bar Night (also our winter holiday social event) will take place on December 10 (location TBD.) We will stick with the second Tuesday of the month in question; so the first Bar Night in 2027 will take place on March 11.

BUT, if you are interested in a social event this Thursday, a watch party of the debate between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers is taking place at the Plumbers Local Union 98, located at 555 Horace Brown Drive in Madison Heights. Here is the link to register:

I've signed up to attend! I hope to see many folks from Ferndale
and Pleasant Ridge there.

On Thursday, October 8, Abdul El-Sayed faces Mike Rogers in the first general-election debate for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat, and we're watching together! This race could decide control of the U.S. Senate, and there will be a lot of noise about what happened on that stage. The people your friends a...

Good morning, fellow Democrats! This morning I am posting videos of both last month's and yesterday's FAD meetings. The first one is from August and has some very important information to consider in the races for the Ferndale School Board and the OCC Trustees -- definitely view this one before going to the second one.

The Zoom link below is for the recording from last night's meeting (passcode is +231WFnm).

Good morning, fellow Democrats! Here is your friendly reminder of our club meeting this Thursday at 7:00 PM. We will for sure be meeting in person, at 215W (located 215 W. 9 Mile Road next to Soho). If you are a newly-elected precinct delegate, this meeting is your chance to pick up your lanyard and name badge (very useful for when you go canvassing!).

Please enter through the door on the back patio; or, if you are out front, enter through Soho's front entrance and go through to the back.

Free pizza will be provided; beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are available for purchase at Soho.

If you are unable to attend in person, the Zoom link and other information for joining the meeting online are at the end of this message.

Charlie Cavell, our County Commissioner, will speak early in the meeting about the vote of the Oakland County Commission to approve funding for Planned Parenthood in Ferndale to continue working in conjunction with Oakland County Health Services. Elected officials serving Ferndale and Pleasant Ridge, as well as candidates for positions which serve our two cities, are also welcome to speak briefly.

Good afternoon, fellow Democrats! Below is a message from Natalie Price, State Senate candidate in Michigan’s 10th Senate District.

“Join State Rep. Natalie Price for a virtual phonebank to support Kevin Hertel for State Senate!

Each Thursday evening, we gather on Zoom and then call voters across Senate District 12 to talk about the issues that matter most to Michigan families — lowering costs, investing in public education, protecting Lake St. Clair, and delivering real results for our communities.

Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or phonebanking for the first time, every call matters as this is one of the most competitive state senate races in Michigan, and we need your help to defend this seat and our Democratic majority.”
