Reason for Seeking Public Office:

We must Make Lansing Work, for all of us.

Yet, in Michigan, partisan politics and insignificant issues have gotten in the way of tackling important challenges we face--from maintaining roads and bridges to funding schools to serving veterans and protecting public health. We need effective and responsive legislators who are willing to work together, across parties and perspectives, to get the people's work done.

We must MAKE LANSING WORK! We must fix our infrastructure. Fund and manage education. Establish a state budget that works for all. Protect the rights of all citizens. And safeguard the parks and natural environment we all enjoy. That's what this campaign is all about.

Please join us. Be a part of the campaign to Make Lansing Work.

Donate. Endorse. And Volunteer.
