Party Officials
This is a list of officials and their terms served of the Newaygo County Democratic Party that I’m currently aware of through my own research. Michigan county party officials since 1966 are elected for two year terms at a County Convention following the General Election in even-numbered years. Terms listed before 1966 are approximate.
