Special Guest
Our special guest for the Shay Gala will be Curtis Hertel, Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party.
Working people deserve better.
That’s the philosophy that has driven Curtis Hertel his entire life in public service. As a State Senator, Curtis became known both for his ability to deliver meaningful policy wins and deliver passionate speeches that moved Democrats and Republicans alike, and many of his colleagues would refer to Curtis as a “workhorse.”
In February, Curtis was elected to chair the Michigan Democratic Party. Of his new role, he says, “I’m ready to roll up my sleeves to ensure Democrats can deliver at every level of the ballot in Michigan. As we face the fiercest test of our democracy in our lifetime, Michigan Democrats are stepping up to fight back and protect our communities all across the state.” Join us to hear from Curtis Hertel.
