So #AnnArbor has an initiative on November's ballot enabling publicly-financed elections. The local #DemocraticParty leadership has hired a bunch of lawyers to declare it illegal. Wankers! #USPol #Washtenaw #Michigan #Vote2024 #CampaignFinanceReform #Politics cc: @washtenawdems https://www.mlive.com/politics/2024/09/fair-elections-fund-proposal-in-ann-arbor-conflicts-with-state-law-ags-office-says.html

Former #AnnArbor City Council member Elizabeth Nelson is good people. If you're in Ann Arbor, please consider voting for Proposals C and D this November. #Washtenaw #LaborDay #CampaignFinanceReform #Democracy #A2Future #A2Council #A2NonPartisan #USPol cc: @A2ELNEL https://www.tiktok.com/@a2elnel/video/7410115860431490347?lang=en

Strongly encourage my Ann Arbor peeps to vote "YES" on Proposals C and D this November, for non-partisan elections and campaign finance reform. I don't like to be an alarmist, but the dam may be about to burst. Our local elections may soon be flooded with the kind of big-money PACs that we see in national and state elections. Once that happens the grassroots will be underwater, and reform will be nearly impossible. Don't pass up this opportunity. #AnnArbor #Washtenaw https://www.wemu.org/wemu-news/2024-05-31/grassroots-group-is-looking-to-change-the-way-elections-are-financed-in-ann-arbor

Also a close race, roughly 44% to 43%. But IMHO we made the right choice. Cheers to #AlyshiaDyer, our soon-to-be #Washtenaw County Sheriff. #Michigan #USPol #Vote2024 #VoteBlue https://www.wemu.org/wemu-news/2024-08-07/alyshia-dyer-discusses-primary-win-for-washtenaw-county-sheriff

Cheers to #AmberFellows and #AlyshiaDyer, two of my faves who won the #Ypsilanti City Council and #Washtenaw County Sheriff primaries last night. Unfortunately most of the rest of the results look like victories for the megadonors. Keep hope alive, y’all. #Michigan #USPol #Vote2024 #VoteBlue https://www.amber4thepeople.com/ https://www.dyer2024.com/

#Michigan has same-day voter registration. That means today. #Amber4thePeople breaks it down. #Vote2024 #VoteBlue #AmberFellows #Ypsilanti #YpsiPol #Ypsi #Washtenaw https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-Tr0Z1v2uG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Get your votes in, #Michigan! This is a good guide, I strongly agree with their endorsement of #HillHarper for Senate. Disagree with their choice for #Washtenaw county sheriff, I've already voted for #AlyshiaDyer. Most of the other candidates here weren't on my ballot but they might be on yours. Polls close at 8PM tomorrow. #Detroit #ArabAmericanNews #AAPAC #USPol #Vote2024 #VoteBlue https://arabamericannews.com/2024/08/02/these-candidates-deserve-your-votes-in-the-august-6-primary-election/

Strongly agree with their endorsement of #HillHarper for Senate. Disagree with their choice for #Washtenaw county sheriff, I'll be voting for #AlyshiaDyer. Most of the rest of the names are outside of my area and won't be on my ballot, so don't know much about them. August 6 is the deadline, get yr votes in! #Michigan #Detroit #ArabAmericanNews #AAPAC #USPol #Vote2024 #VoteBlue https://arabamericannews.com/2024/07/26/aapac-announces-list-of-endorsed-candidates-for-the-august-6-primary-elections-urges-arab-american-voters-to-turn-out-in-large-numbers/

Ypsilanti residents are organizing ballot initiatives to establish more tenants rights, public control of the police budget, and nonpartisan mayoral and council elections.

The Ypsi Ballot Initiative Group is seeking 900 ballot petition signatures by July 22. It’s gathering signatures today at First Fridays downtown and on Sunday afternoons at Vertex Coffee.

Y'all might wanna check to see if your local political orgs and peeps are on #Mastodon. Turns out the @washtenawdems have been here for over a year and I had no idea. We're gonna need all hands on deck this November! #AnnArbor #Ypsilanti #Washtenaw #Democrats #Politics #USPol https://www.washtenawdems.org

Call up for the siren test net on #N8DUY 145.15- for the Washtenaw County Michigan emergency warning sirens. Sirens will activate throughout the county (except for the city of Ann Arbor) at noon.

This is the #skywarn repeater here.

Coincidentally there is also a University of Michigan football game starting at noon, with a planned overflight of some high performance aircraft.
