Flipping Red Seats Blue: A Success Story Presenter: Brad Flynn, Plymouth Democratic Club Political Director Democrats can win elections, even in red areas! Our friends at the Plymouth Democratic Club flipped an entire area from red to blue in the 2018 election, winning their State House and Senate Races, County Commission Race, and 11th Congressional District seat. They also delivered more than 50% of votes for Democrats in statewide races for Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State, flipping past long-time wins for Republicans in their area. Come hear how they made this happen! In Allegan County, the vote gap has been steadily closing between Democrats and Republicans over the past ten years, but we’re still red! Hear the facts and learn how to become part of Flipping Allegan Blue in 2020 and beyond. Please join us on September 24 for the inaugural presentation in the new Democracy Needs Democrats Speaker Series sponsored by the Allegan County Democratic Party. September 24, 2019 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. Allegan District Library 331 Hubbard St., Allegan, MI 49010 |
