Say hello to Oakland County’s newest resident! 👋🏼 And like Yankee Doodle Dandy, this baby chimpanzee was born on the 4th of July 🇺🇸

Mother (Nyani, 34) and daughter (as yet unnamed) are doing great!

Growing our population is an important measure of our success. Michigan grew by more than 57,000 people last year, and Oakland County led the state with more than 15,000…including gains in every community across the county!

Oakland County is in a stronger position today than it was 10 years ago, and we have gotten here without drama, destruction or division.

I appreciate this perspective on our work!

Oakland University is leading the “brain gain” with 95% of graduates staying in the state, more than any other university in Michigan. I’m so proud of the work president Ora Pescovitz has done to make OU a powerhouse in our region. Go Grizzlies! 🐻

Many people have grown disillusioned, feeling powerless to make a difference in a political and economic system that too often feels broken. Tonight, I’ll talk about how we move forward, together. With progress over chaos, and a government that stretches to meet the demands of the times.
