One of my top priorities as State Representative is to always be accessible to the people I am elected to serve. I hold local office hours every month for residents to personally share their concerns, ask questions and get help with issues involving state government. No appointment is necessary and there is no cost to attend. Those unable to attend are encouraged to call my office at (517) 373-0840 or email [email protected].
