History

The Livonia Democratic Club has existed in some form since 1987. The modern incarnation of the LDC goes back to 2004, when the officers and members of the club officially documented its existence by ratifying the governing bylaws and submitting them to the Michigan Democratic Party. Soon after, the MDP chartered the LDC as an official extension of the state party. 

More recently, the LDC has conducted both Executive Board and Membership meetings each month, and has worked hard to expand membership and further progressive policies within the city and throughout the state as part of the Michigan Democratic Party.

In the past few years, the LDC has played an important role in getting Democratic candidates elected to local, state, and national positions. This includes State Representative Laurie Pohutsky, U.S. Senator Gary Peters, U.S. Representative Hayley Stevens, and Livonia’s first female mayor, Mayor Maureen Miller Brosnan. 

Membership

The LDC consists of the Executive Board and the General Membership. Membership is open to any Livonia residents who want to help make Livonia a better and the surrounding areas a better community. 

Along with joining the LDC, we encourage all Livonia residents to become members of the Democratic Party at the national, state, and local levels. We also encourage members to become more engaged by becoming candidates for club offices, neighborhood precinct delegates, public office, and officers or delegates to the MDP or presidential delegation at Democratic National Committee (DNC) national conventions.

Livonia residents can join the LDC as:

• A family for $25/year
• An individual for $20/year
• A student for $10/year
  

Membership includes access to all General Membership meetings, which are held monthly, access to candidate campaign materials (literature, yard signs, etc.) during election years, voting rights for club resolutions, a voice in setting the club’s agenda and planning club events, the ability to run for the Executive Board and join club committees and working groups, and the irreplaceable feeling of being a more engaged member of the community.
