Important Update

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

It has come to our attention that there is a Katherine Houston who is placing yard signs on public easements and right-of-ways, in the 8th Congressional District, for a write-’in campaign for Congress, claiming to be a Democrat.

This person does not have the support or endorsement of any Democratic Party organization.  Nor does this person support the Democratic party at any level, or any Democratic Party candidate as far as we can tell.

The North Oakland Democratic Club, Oakland County Democratic Party, 8th Congressional District Committee, Michigan Democratic Party, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Democratic National Committee all support Lance Enderle for Congress both at the polls and financially.
