After four years of being closed, the Denton Road Bridge is finally open! This project was one of the first major issues I took on after entering office in 2023, as residents, local businesses, and public safety officials all felt the sudden impact of this closure.

Securing the funding was just one part of the process, and I want to thank the engineers, construction crews, county and township officials, and residents whose patience and hard work made this day possible.

Reopening this bridge will make it easier for residents, families, and businesses to get where they need to go. During my first term as State Representative, I was proud to secure more than $10 million in state funding to help make this project possible.

This week in Lansing we had a very special group of visitors! Students, teachers and parents from Dundee Elementary School came to Lansing to tour the State Capitol and learn about state government. I love seeing the next generation of leaders so excited to be here!
