NEWS: MDP Youth Caucus Releases Candidate Endorsement Questionnaire

Jun 23, 2009 Author: YCAdmin | Filed under: General News, News Items

The Youth Caucus is charged as being the defender of the interests of Michigan’s youth within the Democratic Party of the State of Michigan. As such, in an effort to keep the process of endorsements as open as possible during the current primary and general election cycles, the Michigan Democratic Party Youth Caucus is now making our endorsement questionnaire available to any Democratic candidate interested in seeking the endorsement of our caucus.

For those not currently familiar with the process, endorsement from the Youth Caucus allows our group as a whole to work on behalf of candidates that we deem in support of those issues and ideals that affect the membership of the caucus.

We need you to ask GM to Make it in Michigan! Building GM’s new vehicle in Michigan makes good business sense.
