Today, Governor Snyder signed House Bill 5187 into law; retroactively changing the rules of redistricting for just Oakland County.

“Today is a sad day for more than just Oakland County voters or Democrats, but for people everywhere who care about the rule of law and the separation of powers that the Constitution calls for,” said Frank Houston, Chairman of the Oakland County Apportionment Commission, and Chair of the Oakland County Democratic Party.

“Mr. Snyder apparently has decided to be ‘the Governor who stole democracy’ this holiday season. It is outrageous that Governor Snyder signed this Republican power grab bill into law; in-effect changing redistricting, retroactively just for Oakland County.”

On Friday, the Republican legislature in Lansing introduced the most undemocratic Congressional map in Michigan’s history.

Every ten years, the borders of Congressional districts are redrawn to account for changes in population. The goal is to ensure that every voter in the country has equal representation - but that’s the exact opposite of what the Michigan legislature has done.

In March the OCDP appointed six Officers-at-Large to serve on its Officers Committee (formerly known as its Executive Board).

For the first time this March, the OCDP Executive Committee elected six and appointed an additional four officers at the March meeting of the Executive Committee.

These new and returning officers bring a great deal of experience as well as an infusion of new energy and ideas to the County Party.

As you know, this weekend is the Michigan Democratic Party's convention at Cobo Center in Detroit. As part of this weekend's festivities, the 9th District Party will convene from 1 pm until 2:30 pm on Saturday. I hope you'll join us!

We are scheduled to be in Room O3-45. That means that we're in the "Oakland" section, on the third floor, in room 45. You may want to confirm that on the day of the convention by looking at a schedule of events.
