Heidi Zuniga For State Rep Launch Party!
Tonight was the perfect night, THE perfect night for a campaign launch party. The weather was perfect, cool enough to be outside on the patio but still that perfect summer cool, where it's just the right July temp.
Heidi launched her campaign tonight by speaking about why she decided to run. Running is something that Heidi realized she had to do, for us in the 88th that need a voice. We need a voice of someone who understands what it's like to live with a preexisting condition and the fear that at some point you will not be eligible for health insurance. See Heidi is a cancer survivor, she is a fighter and will be going to Lansing to fight for all of us that have preexisting conditions. She's also an educator that understands the need of a quality public education that starts when children are still young. She understands how the needs of youth change as they age and how youth continue to deserve the best education. Heidi understands the community and what is it like to live paycheck to paycheck. She understands the struggles that average families have in the 88th district not only as a resident, but also as someone that has lived there since childhood. Heidi is the real deal, she is a quality candidate that is looking forward to knocking doors and listening to the community. As she states often "For you. For us. For the 88th."
Please join Ottawa Dems in supporting Heidi in her run for office! https://www.zunigaformi.com

Peters Announces Upcoming Community Meetings
Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Gary Peters announced that he is holding four community meetings across Michigan in the coming weeks to provide additional opportunities to hear from constituents. The events are open to the public, and casework staff from Senator Peters’ office will be available to meet with constituents who need help dealing with federal programs and agencies such as Medicare, Social Security, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the IRS.
“I am proud to represent Michigan in the United States Senate, but I know the best ideas don’t come from Washington. As I travel across our state, I always look forward to hearing from Michiganders about what can be done in Washington to make Michigan the best place to live, work and raise a family,” said Senator Peters. “My office stands ready to aid any Michiganders who may need assistance navigating federal agencies or accessing their benefits, and I encourage residents who may need help to visit with my staff and learn more about how my office can be of service.”
Senator Peters hosts Coffee With Gary in his Washington, D.C. office each week the Senate is in session and rides his motorcycle across the state during his annual #RideMI Motorcycle Tour to meet with constituents, business owners, servicemembers and veterans.
In the U.S. Senate, Peters serves on the Armed Services Committee; Commerce Science and Transportation Committee; Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee; and the Joint Economic Committee.
