Michigan Democrats plan April 19 endorsement convention
Lansing — Michigan Democrats will hold a convention April 19 in Detroit to endorse nominees for attorney general, secretary of state and the state Supreme Court, party Chairman Curtis Hertel said Wednesday.
The Democrats' state central committee approved the plan, as part of a larger schedule, earlier this month, Hertel said.
The development means both Michigan Republicans and Democrats have chosen to set early endorsement conventions for next year's election, instead of using the traditional timeline of nominating candidates for state offices in late August.
"I think it’s important to give candidates the ability to go and talk to voters," Hertel said of the early convention.
