Vote NO on Ann Arbor Proposal C
Did you know that half of the money raised by the vote yes campaign as of the 2024 July Quarterly came from longtime Republican voters and GOP supporters?
Local conservatives want to remove party affiliation and eliminate our primaries for all Ann Arbor City Elections. Their proposal:
Falsely claims to align with "99% of Michigan cities" while eliminating the August primary, turning city elections into November free-for-alls.
Obscures party labels and hides candidates' values in a time of rampant misinformation.
Raises barriers to entry and discourages candidates with diverse backgrounds from participating.
With the most diverse and progressive Council in Ann Arbor's history, why change the rules? OPPOSE A2 Prop C.
Background
In 1975, Ann Arbor elected the only Black mayor in its history, and local conservatives changed the rules. In 2022, Ann Arbor elected the most diverse, pro-housing Council in city history, and local conservatives are once again trying to change our elections.
