Representing Michigan’s 12th Senate District along the shoreline of Lake St. Clair. Focused on finding common ground and delivering solutions for Michiganders.
Downtown New Baltimore’s access to Lake St. Clair makes it a true gem of our district. I'm grateful to partner with Mayor Semaan to bring state dollars back to the community to enhance their waterfront space for even more to enjoy.

What do teachers, police officers, and firefighters all have common?
