Michigan is my family's home...

...and everyday I see the strength and beauty in its land, water, and people. I want our citizens to live well and have access to quality jobs, health care, and education. I want communities and companies to prosper, and have a government that supports these with transparency, accountability, and honesty.

I’m running for State Senator of District 17 to work for all of us, since together is how we build a better Michigan that will grow for everyone.
