Sen. Betty Jean Alexander has lived through some of the same challenges that many Michiganders face on a daily basis.

As a proud single mother of two, Alexander understands what it takes to help families make ends meet and represent all of the residents of Senate District 5. Before her election to the Michigan Senate, she worked in an administrative role for Wayne County.

Alexander is a champion for policies that increase the minimum wage, ensure schools are properly funded, make drinking water safe and affordable, and that lower auto insurance rates for the hardworking people of her district.

She resides in Detroit with her daughters.
