Michigan journalist and podcast host James David Dickson will address the Eastside Republican Club Tuesday, Nov. 19, with a forward-looking message.
Dickson’s topic “Morning again in Michigan: What to expect in 2025,” will focus on state and local affairs in light of 2024 General Election results.
Tuesday’s presentation will be at The War Memorial, 32 Lake Shore Road, Grosse Pointe Farms. Forum doors open for coffee and networking at 7 p.m.
“Mr. Dickson is a skilled journalist and blogger with keen insight into Michigan’s changing voting patterns, so we look forward to hearing his thoughts on the election impact,” said club chairman Mike Vethacke in a statement in advance of the meeting.
There is no charge for the Forum, which will include an opportunity to ask questions of Dickson.
A native of Inkster, Dickson now hails from Ferndale. While attending the University of Michigan, Dickson was editor-in-chief of The Michigan Review, a columnist for the Michigan Daily, and a James B. Angell Scholar.
He started his career in 2007 with a fellowship at The American Spectator and two newspapers in Ann Arbor. Beginning in 2012, he served a decade at The Detroit News. Then he served at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy as managing editor for Michigan Capitol Confidential.
Dickson currently blogs at Enjoyer.com, which he describes as “Michigan media for those who relish the beauty of life here and are tired of apologizing for it.”
The Eastside Republican Club Forum meets on the third Tuesday each month from September through May at the War Memorial. Admission is free and the public is always welcome.
