Dear Neighbor,
Happy New Year! I hope you were able to enjoy a restful holiday season.
My colleagues and I return to the Capitol this week, kicking off the 103rd Legislature — and we’re excited to get back to work for the residents of our state.
As always, I appreciate your feedback, so please feel free to reach out to my office. You can contact me by sending an email to SenVKlinefelt@senate.michigan.gov or calling 517-373-7670.
Sincerely,
Veronica Klinefelt
State Senator
District 11
Reflecting on the Historic Progress of the 102nd Legislature

- Commonsense gun violence prevention measures;
- Strengthening workers’ rights;
- Increasing school safety measures;
- Assistance for first– time home buyers;
- Expanding eligibility for energy bill assistance;
- Broadening access to healthcare for pregnant mothers; and
- Free tuition to community college.
A Bittersweet Goodbye to Nora Teagan
After being with our team since the beginning of 2023, we are proud (and quite sad) that our scheduler, Nora, has left to pursue her master’s degree at American University. While we will miss her, we are looking forward to hearing about all she accomplishes!
Welcoming Aboard a New Scheduler
I am excited to announce that we are welcoming Evan Walton to our team as our next scheduler! Evan most recently worked with the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and has hit the ground running. We are thrilled to have him at the front desk!
