April 8, 2023
I am also Chair of the Manistee County Democratic Party (MCDP) which held their regular monthly membership information meeting on Thursday March 16, 2023 at the West Shore Community College building on River Street in downtown Manistee. We had a presentation by Marc Miller, Director of Economic Development for the Manistee County Chamber of Commerce. Our April 20th meeting will feature a presentation by Eric Gustad, Community Relations Manager for Consumers Energy on their efforts to totally eliminate coal burning power production in 2023.

I am also Co-Chair of the 2023 Great Lakes Environmental Festival which will be held in Manistee Friday April 21 and Saturday April 22, 2023. This festival will feature 10 subject matter expert speakers on environmental issues and will also include an Environmental Expo with information tables and booths staffed by regional environmental advocate organizations and businesses sharing their efforts to protect and improve the environment in the Great Lakes Region. This festival is being organized by the leaders of the Manistee County Democratic Party. Additional information can be found at the website using this link: https://www.glef.us/.
I am a Regional Vice Chair of the MDP Rural Caucus responsible for Manistee, Mason, Wexford, Oceana, and Lake counties. The MDP Rural Caucus is holding a Rural Summit in Sault St Marie, MI on Friday April 14 and Saturday April 15. I will be facilitating a workshop on Community Building at this conference.

During the past month I have attended town hall meetings hosted by Michigan Representatives Kurt Vanderwall and John Roth. My participation was focused on holding them accountable as elected representatives for ALL the people in their districts not just those who may have voted for them.
I have made regular postings to the Defund Moolenaar Facebook group that have repeatedly called out the misinformation and lies he has posted on social media. Please join this Facebook group by using this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/993656977917278
I will be out of the country from April 23 through May 10, but am looking forward to attending the May 13th meeting and the Ice Cream Social.
