We are the heart of conservative activism in Washtenaw County - the Washtenaw County Republican Party. Here, we stand as the vanguard of the Michigan GOP, committed to fostering local Republican politics that echo the values of liberty, opportunity, and a constitutional, representative form of government.
Our mission as a county party is to be active throughout Monroe County, bring awareness community issues, inform neighbors of the issues, and to empower Republicans across our county to be more engaged in the process. For too long we have been the silent majority and allowed the vocal minority to push their unconstitutional and unAmerican agenda in our communities, our schools, and our local organizations.
Federal law requires citizenship in order to vote in a federal election, but that law does not apply to state and local elections.
Michigan’s Constitution should specifically state that only U.S. citizens can vote.
This is not a Republican or Democrat issue—82% of Michiganders agree that only citizens should be voting in our elections.
Michigan Fair Elections Institute is a federated network of citizen organizations, leaders, and activists aligning their individual missions to work together to build a permanent election integrity infrastructure in every county in Michigan, to provide ongoing citizen oversight, transparency, and accountability of Michigan elections.
