Earlier this month, the state&#8217;s 35th Senate District \u2014 which includes the Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland communities \u2014 held a special election to fill the vacant seat formerly held by now U.S. Rep. Kristen McDonald-Rivet. The voters\u2019 choice? Sen. Chedrick Greene, a Saginaw native, U.S. Marine veteran, and now-retired fire captain.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sen. Greene\u2019s record speaks for itself. A champion for working families, a heart for service, and a public safety mindset \u2014 all things that help Senate Dems continue advancing meaningful legislation and a people-centered budget across the finish line. I\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0be more thrilled with this choice, which not only strengthens our Senate Democratic majority, but will also bring valuable perspective to the chamber as we work on delivering solutions for the people of Michigan. It was a joy to be in the chamber as Sen. Greene was sworn in in the presence of his family just before the Memorial Day weekend \u2014 which was pretty fitting\u00a0given his 30-year service in the Marines.\u00a0\u00a0Congrats, Sen. Greene, and welcome to the Michigan Legislature!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Stay Protected at the Gas Pump<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Right now, Michigan drivers are paying an average of $71 for a full tank of gas, as the Iran war has disrupted global oil markets.
