Senate Democrats Issues

Securing Our Economic Future
For more than a hundred years, Michigan has been the heart and soul of the automotive industry, and our work ethic, ingenuity and experience are just as strong today as they were when the first cars started rolling off the line. As our economy diversifies, Senate Democrats are committed to helping the auto industry evolve with consumer needs while also utilizing those universal skills and talents to prepare our workforce for other jobs of the future. By increasing the preparation for growing and innovative industries through education and training and making Michigan workers and their families a top priority, we can realize a prosperous future NOW!

Fighting for Michigan families
At a time when Michigan families are struggling to cover everyday necessities like gas and groceries and still keep a roof over their head, greedy corporations like big oil, predatory lenders and drug manufacturing giants are making money hand over fist at their expense. Senate Democrats are fighting to keep people in their homes, ensure that families have proper legal recourse when a loved one is harmed or killed by a faulty prescription drug, protect Michigan consumers from being continuously preyed upon at the pump, and safeguard our most vulnerable citizens from being taken advantage of.

Protecting our precious resources
Michigan is a state defined by its natural environment and geography arguably more than any other place in the world. As the Great Lakes State, we are known for our woods and waters and the tourism and recreation opportunities that abound within them.

Senate Democrats have and will continue to be guardians of the land and water we all depend on and battle to protect them for generations to come. Click Here to Read More
