Friend,
Tonight at midnight, the Michigan Democratic Party will close the books on January fundraising and begin preparing our first public report of the 2026 election year. Make a contribution here before the deadline.
This is the moment when early momentum becomes visible.
Once that report is filed, it will be read by allies, opponents, donors, and national Republicans looking for signs of weakness. They want to see whether Michigan Democrats are organized or whether they think they can outspend and outlast us.
We’re not giving them that opening.
This is a critical election year for Michigan. We have big races on the ballot including races for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, MI Supreme Court, state Senate, and state House. The work we do in the coming months will shape every race on the ballot, and it’s powered by grassroots supporters stepping up before the spotlight turns on.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to give, this is it.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Every early contribution strengthens our organizing, expands our reach, and sends a clear message: Michigan Democrats are ready.
Thank you for standing with us tonight and all year long.
Onward,
Curtis Hertel
Chair, Michigan Democratic Party
