Dear Neighbor,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, my colleagues and I passed the Senate recommendations for Michigan\u2019s Fiscal Year 2026 budget \u2014 a responsible, forward-looking financial plan that reflects the values and priorities of people and communities across the state. Crafted through months of collaboration with constituents, community leaders, and key stakeholders, the budget focuses on people-first investments that strengthen local communities, protect vital services and expand opportunity for every Michigander.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our budget puts Michigan families first \u2014 plain and simple. It\u2019s a reflection of what we\u2019ve heard from residents across the state: they want good schools, safe communities, access to health care, and real opportunities to build a better life. From securing more resources in the classroom to upskilling workers and strengthening our local economies, this budget is about delivering results, not rhetoric. It\u2019s bold, responsible, and focused on building a future where everyone has a fair shot.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gN0Pu4cF0Ec” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

We have a ways to go until the state budget is finalized and signed by the governor, but just know, as the Senate Appropriations Chair \u2014 the lead budget negotiator for the Senate \u2014\u00a0 I will make sure the budget continues to uplift and support every Michigander, from our students and teachers to our seniors, veterans, and everyone in between.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Senate budget affords every Michigander a pathway to economic opportunity. With the rising cost of living, it\u2019s more important than ever that we cut red tape and support the financial wellbeing of the people we serve. By investing in small businesses, nonprofits, and workforce development programs, we are ensuring everyone has access to a high paying job and the skills they need to succeed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
