JUNE 17 PRIMARY ELECTION CANDIDATE FORUM: MI HOUSE DISTRICT 2
The LWV Grosse Pointe’s first virtual candidate forum, in collaboration with the LWV Detroit, was a huge success! Candidates Ms. Taylor Harrell and Representative Joe Tate participated in this event via Zoom. They were asked a series of questions submitted by League members and the general public.
A very special thanks to Rhonda Craig, Moderator and President, LWV Detroit, Mary Zahler, Producer and VP for Voter Services, LWV Grosse Pointe, and Sue Acton, timekeeper and President-Elect, LWV Grosse Pointe. This is an incredible milestone for our league!
You can view the forum on the LWVGP YouTube channel at the link below. Feel free to share this link with non-league members. We hope this provides you with insight on the candidates’ positions before casting your ballot during the Aug. 4 Primary Election.
District 2 includes the City of Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Park and parts of Detroit.

ABSENTEE VOTING IN MICHIGAN
An important reminder (especially after witnessing those very long voter lines in other states’ primaries!), that thanks to the passage of Promote the Vote in 2018, Michigan now has “no-reason Absentee Voting”.So should you prefer to vote in the comfort of your own home, you can request an absentee ballot without needing a reason. Then you may either mail it in or drop it off with your local clerk.
Go to Michigan.gov/sos to request your absentee ballot . Also, please note that you will be given the option to make this request permanently or just for the next upcoming election.
HAPPY CENSUS DAY! IT’S TIME TO GET COUNTED!
April 1 was Census Day, the official launch of the 2020 Census! As so much around us is rapidly changing, the census is one thing that remains the same. It is one action that we can still take to support our communities and participate fully in our democracy.
Completing the census is about collecting the necessary information to determine funding for our community needs. Census data is used to distribute billions of dollars in funding that goes to ensure that public safety, health facilities, businesses, and communities have the resources they need to take care of their communities. In these times of uncertainty and physical distancing, standing together in with our communities is ever more important.
