Had a time at the Fight for Freedom dinner hosted by the Northern Oakland County Branch-@NAACP. In addition to affirming our commitment to justice and a people-centered government, I shared we’re #InvestedInPontiac—the very city where the organization was founded 106 years ago!

The jet lag was worth the partnerships the @MEDC and my team gained for @OakGov and our state during our recent trip to East Asia. While strengthening key relationships with companies like POEN in Troy, we earned a sister city in Taichung City, Taiwan! ow.ly/w12t50ZW7xS

Not enough people know about the critical work Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash and his team do to maintain our water and sewer systems. His office recently secured $1M+ in grants for long-term stormwater improvements at Aaron Perry and Oakland parks in Pontiac.
