Dear Neighbor, \u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spring is well underway now, and I hope you\u2019ve taken some time to enjoy Michigan\u2019s warmer weather and brighter blue skies. Our state has so much to offer during the spring season, from the beautiful blooms at the Holland <\/span>Tulip Time Festival<\/span> to the enjoyment of America\u2019s <\/span>national pastime<\/span><\/a> at Comerica Park. Closer to home, the peonies will be blooming in the University of Michigan Arboretum. You can check on their progress here: <\/span>Peony Season 2025<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> I hope you\u2019ll be able to join me and my team outside at the \u201cWalk and Talk\u201d on Wednesday, May 28 at the Waterloo Portage Lake Campground.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And while spring is certainly bringing some much-needed joy after a long winter, just know that you are not alone if you\u2019re feeling confused or anxious about the chaos that the Trump Administration continues to unleash upon us. We\u2019re all in this together, and we\u2019ll continue to support one another in these trying and unprecedented times.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, please feel free to reach out to share your thoughts or seek assistance with any challenges you may be facing with state departments. You can email me at <\/span>sensshink@senate.michigan.gov<\/span><\/a> or call (517) 373-2426.
