Your Issues That Matter to All of Us
I am currently serving in my first term as State Representative, District 53. The 53rd District encompasses the precinct 4 of Auburn Hills, Pontiac, and precincts 14 through 21 of Waterford Township.. I proudly serve as chair of the Insurance and Financial Services Committee, Health Policy, Tax Policy, and the Joint Committee of Administrative Rules (JCAR).
I work hard every day addressing the shortcomings in our state's infrastructure, including the availability and distribution of fresh water, updated and smooth roads and highways, structurally safe bridges, and modern well-equipped airports. Now we are working 24/7 to keep our community updated on COVID-19. These issues are critical not only for the state to remain competitive nationally and in business, but also to solidify the quality of life for our citizens.
