“It is an incredible honor to begin my second term in the State Senate for the new Senate District 3,” Sen. Chang said. “I will continue to work as hard as I can to get things done to ensure that residents of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties have a quality education, an economy that works for everyone, clean air and safe, affordable water, a fair justice system, communities safe from gun violence, resilient infrastructure, and access to housing and health care for everyone. With the new majority focused on the people of Michigan, I am excited about this amazing opportunity to deliver the kind of bold, impactful change that Michiganders need and deserve.”
