Congratulations!
The Manistee County Democratic Party would like to offer a big hearty round of applause to all of our victorious local Democratic candidates!
We would also like to offer our eternal gratitude, and support to each of our brave Democratic candidates that came so very, very close to achieving the nearly gargantuan feat of unseating some very firmly entrenched incumbents.
The Manistee County Democratic Party understands that running for public office a long, expensive, arduous journey; and too often a thankless one to boot...
We applaud each and every one of our Democratic candidates, and we want you to know that your sacrifices, and hard work did not go unnoticed.
We appreciate your contributions, and candidacies; regardless of whether they were victorious or not.
