Michigan Democrats in Washtenaw County

As a Washtenaw County resident, you and the 368,385 people living in your community know what issues are most important in your own backyards.

A quick look at the numbers in Washtenaw County:

  • 12% of residents are over the age of 65.
  • 3.69% of residents are uninsured.
  • The median household income is $75,730 per year. 12% of residents are living in poverty.

These aren’t just abstract numbers, they represent real areas of concern that impact your lives. We need to elect the people who best represent your interests. The Michigan Democratic Party stands on our record of working for the people!

Whether you live in Ypsilanti or Saline, we’re confident that the facts speak for themselves about which party is focused on Main Street over Wall Street. It’s time to reject all the polarizing divisive rhetoric and make tangible improvements to the lives of people living in Washtenaw County.

  • INFRASTRUCTURE & ROADS: Making crucial improvements to I-94, M-14, US-12, and US-23 to keep residents safe.
