Dear Neighbor
I’m Jeremy Moss, your state senator. I’m honored to be in Michigan’s Capitol representing our community as we work to build a government that makes us proud.
This legislative session, I will once again continue to push for the values we care about in our district. This includes working on policies in Lansing that will help families in southern Oakland County.
During my time in the legislature, I’ve been focused on proposals and initiatives to ensure Michiganders can retire with dignity and financial stability. In the pre-COVID era, I hosted an annual Senior Summit resources fair to connect you with the agencies and services you may need to enjoy your retirement.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, I had to cancel both last year’s and this year’s in-person summits out of an abundance of caution to protect your health. However, I still want to remain connected with you and get you some valuable information, and I hope this newsletter does just that.
If I can be of help to you, please contact me. If you want to stay informed about my legislative work, please sign up for email updates online at SenatorMoss.com or call me at (517) 373-7888.

LET’S CONNECT ABOUT STATE GOVERNMENT
I always enjoy the opportunity to hear directly from residents, like you, regarding the issues you care about! My favorite way to do that is to host community conversations throughout southern Oakland County so we can chat about what’s going on in state government and how it impacts us back home. Call my office or check my website for upcoming dates and times about a future community conversation near you!
