FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In a significant stride for local democracy, the Ann Arbor City Clerk has certified enough voter signatures to place two pivotal election reform proposals on the November ballot. Supported by over 150 dedicated volunteers, a coalition came together to champion these initiatives aimed at revitalizing local elections.

In a radio interview with grassroots organizer John Godfrey by Taylor Bowie, the initiative seeks to put the decision to voters this November. Proponents believe it will shift focus to candidates' qualifications and eliminate low-turnout primaries. Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti are the last Michigan cities with partisan elections.

In an interview with radio host Lucy Ann Lance, John Godfrey discusses the initiative to bring nonpartisan elections and public campaign financing to the city.

Should city funds be used to support political candidates? Ann Arbor voters may decide.
