Friend,
This election is like none we have seen before and there is much at stake. We need all of you engaged for the next 47 days. One of the most important activities will be the three debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. I know the difference will be striking between Hillary, who is the most experienced candidate for President as President Obama himself observed, and a candidate who quite frankly scares me.
The first Presidential debate is this Monday night, September 26th, at 6:00pm. There will be a number of viewing parties throughout Michigan, but hope you'll join us in attending one of the watch parties here in the 12th district.
In Wayne County, the UAW will host a watch party at Region 1A. In Dearborn, the Clinton campaign is hosting a watch party at their field office. And in Washtenaw, the Washtenaw Dems, Ann Arbor Dems, the 12th District and myself are sponsoring a watch party at Arbor Brewing Company.

Hillary's amazing on the debate stage, and there's nothing better or more motivating than watching with a bunch of other supporters. Even better, I know how much it will mean to Hillary to know her team is cheering for her all over the country. Join other friends to watch a very important night that will impact the future of all of us.
Debbie

Rep. Jim Plakas Passed Away
Former Garden City Mayor and former State Rep. Jim A. Plakas died Monday, March 30. Plakas, 85, served two terms as Mayor and Councilman of Garden City. He also served three terms as state representative and retired after 40 years with Ford Motor.
Visitation is Thursday 4-8pm with a Trisagion service at 4:45pm at the John N. Santeiu & Son Funeral Home, 1139 Inkster Rd., Garden City (Between Ford Rd. and Cherry Hill.). In state Friday 8:30am followed by the 9am Funeral Service at Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church, 36375 Joy Rd., (east of Newburgh).
Friends I am sad to inform you that Representative Jim Plakas passed away on March 30th. Jim Plakas was a good friend to all people of his District. He served our region in public affairs very well, and always with his huge heart and deep concern for the well being of regular Americans. Many of us engaged in politics knew Jim Plakas personally, and a kinder, more concerned honest and hard working public servant could not be found.

President Obama to Award Congressman Dingell with Highest Civilian Honor
Our very own Congressman John D. Dingell will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, from President Obama on November 24th. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District Democratic organization, I would like to congratulate Congressman Dingell on this prestigious award. This is a well deserved honor for his six decades of service to the citizens of the great state of Michigan and to our nation. We are all better off because of his work in Congress, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.
I think I can speak for everybody in the 12th District in that we are inspired by Congressman Dingell's tenacity, grateful for his efforts, charmed by his humor and honored by his friendship.
Congratulations, Congressman!
--Mark Gaffney
Chairman
