Canton Democratic Club Annual Pasta Dinner
Please join us for our major fundraiser of the year! It's sure to be a fun evening with like-minded people! We are excited to announce our keynote speaker, Senator Jeremy Moss and our Emcee, Lori Goldman. We will also hear from candidates as the 2024 elections will be only a year away!
State Senator Jeremy Moss is the President Pro Tempore of the Michigan Senate, where he is also serving his second term. Always looking to build relationships across the aisle, Moss has successfully had legislation signed into law to reduce unfair employment barriers for people with past criminal records, help homeowners make home improvements by lowering property taxes, allow public-private partnerships to rebuild crumbling bridges, and to create more pathways for students who dropped out of high school so they can complete their degree. He also was instrumental in amending the Elliot Larsen Civil Rights Act. Moss holds the distinction of having been the youngest-ever elected official on the Southfield City Council (2011) and has not let up on public service since. After City Council, he was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives, serving as the Democratic Caucus Whip, and then became the Assistant Democratic Leader in his first term in the Michigan Senate.
Moss earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from Michigan State University, where he participated in multiple student-led humanitarian aid missions nationally and across the globe. He lives in Southfield.
