The Leelanau County Democratic Party is growing -- in
numbers, activities and ways to serve our community.
The tremendous success we experienced in the 2008
elections has energized us to take on ever greater goals.
Opportunities to contribute ideas, time and talent are
limitless.
Please consider becoming involved in:
- Blue Tigers: Putting our democratic principles
into action, Blue Tiger volunteers help out with
critical and rising community needs. On January
17 more than 20 volunteers conducted a county-
wide food drive to restock County food pantries.
We have adopted 4 miles of Leelanau County
highways, work as ushers at the State Theater in
TC, and are looking for more ways to serve the
community in meaningful ways.
- Programs: Leelanau Dems hold periodic open
meetings for our membership and the entire
community on topics of interest and importance in
the County Help us explore programs and speakers
that are exceptionally educational and informative
for these meetings.
- Campaigns and Candidates: What is a political
party without great candidates to support? We're
fortunate in Leelanau County to have had many
outstanding candidates run and be elected for
local and state office, and we want to encourage
many more people to follow in these footsteps.
We'll offer advice and support. Contact us!
- Events Committee: Democrats enjoy a good
time, especially when it's a good time for a good
cause. Beginning with our WinterFest in January,
we will have events throughout the year. A
special highlight is our biennial Recognition Dinner
on June 5 at the beautiful Eagle Ridge Conference
Center in Peshawbestown. The evening will
feature outstanding speakers, a silent auction, fine
food and the presentation of the prestigious David
Viskochil Freedom of Speech award to a Leelanau
Democrat who has done the most to advocate
Democratic principles and values in the past year.
- Other Committees: Education, Membership,
Publication, PR, and more. Click here to check

"Contact Us" page to send us a message. We'd
love to have your help!
