Welcome!

Welcome to my "on-line office". It is my hope that this site will keep you informed and up-to-date on state issues and pending legislation.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns that I may be able to help you with as your state senator, please contact my office. I am proud to represent you in the Michigan Senate and look forward to being your voice in our state Legislature.

I am pleased to provide this Capitol Report. It also contains information on my recent local activities and helpful resources available through my office.

This booklet gives you the latest information on many of Michigan's tax laws, in simple-to-understand English, put together in a single publication.

It is important in a democracy that citizens help keep their legislators informed. In order to be true representatives of the people, legislators need to know the thinking of their constituents on those issues upon which decisions will be made, and the facts on which such thinking and conclusions are based. As a citizen, you can help insure good legislation on state and national levels by communicating with your elected representatives at the proper time.
