64th Annual Phil Hart Dinner - LIMITED DINNER-ONLY TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE!

The Oakland County Democratic Party’s 64th Annual Phil Hart Dinner will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025.

The Phil Hart Dinner is one of the largest Democratic gatherings in the state—honoring the legacy of U.S. Senator Philip A. Hart, known as the “Conscience of the Senate.” It’s an evening where leaders, activists and supporters from across Michigan come together to celebrate progress and build the path forward.

This year’s program will feature Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett—you won’t want to miss her! Congresswoman Crockett is one of the boldest and most dynamic voices in Congress—a fearless advocate for justice, equity, and progress. Her passion and vision will set the tone for this upcoming critical election year, and we can’t wait to welcome her to Oakland County!

The receptions (General and VIP) begin at 5 p.m., with the dinner beginning at 6 p.m. The location will be provided after you RSVP. Tickets and sponsorships are officially on sale now! Purchase your tickets and sponsorships today. Both receptions are now sold out. Limited dinner-only tickets are still available.
