Dear Neighbor,<\/p>\n
I hope this mailer finds you and your loved ones well. As we enter this new year, it is important to reflect on progress made and victories won for the people of Michigan in 2024.<\/p>\n
Throughout the year, my colleagues and I worked to improve the lives of all Michiganders by supporting working families and seniors, lowering education costs, and protecting our most precious resource \u2014 our water. We crafted a sensible, people-focused budget to serve the interests of all Michiganders while continuing to fight for affordable housing and access to health care for all.<\/p>\n
If you ever need assistance with a state government agency or would like to share about issues you care about, please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to my office. I look forward to serving you in 2025! <\/p>\n

I loved building connections with our residents, providing valuable resources, sharing important information, and offering any support I can to our community.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/senatedems.com\/bayer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/02\/2024-coffee-hour.jpg” title_text=”2024 coffee hour” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”72px|||||” custom_padding=”||90px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”] As your state Senator, hearing about issues you care about is a responsibility I take seriously.
