Former President Bill Clinton will keynote the Michigan Democratic party's annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner April 26 at Cobo Center in downtown Detroit.
"I'm thrilled to welcome one of the great leaders of our time to Michigan to boost Democratic efforts to win in 2014," said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson in a statement released Sunday.
"We're very much looking forward to hearing from President Clinton on how Democratic leaders can continue to work to create opportunity for all."
At press time three tables with LGBT people where filled according to Mark LaChey, chair of the LGBT Caucus of the MDP. LaChey is hoping to fill a fourth. "Even though this event is headed toward a sell-out, the Caucus currently remains able to seat together as many of us who want to attend and not only see, hear and cheer Bill, but also help honor two of our greatest allies, Senator Carl Levin and Congressman John Dingell," said LaChey in an email.
Individual tickets for the event are $175. To purchase tickets go to http://michigandems.eventbrite.com. To be seated with the LGBT caucus please let Mark LaChey know you are attending by sending an email to [email protected].
