Hello District 32,

Happy Holidays to everyone in our community! The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster of events in Lansing, and our office is doing the best it can to bring real results for our families and neighbors throughout House District 32.

As my first term comes to an end, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has done your part to help make House District 32 the amazing district it is. We look out for one another. We stay civically engaged. We are educated on important issues. While some great pieces of legislation will not likely make it across the finish line this session, we will continue to fight for what is right, for everyone! Our work as a community and as good people is never complete. I would like to end 2024 with a powerful quote:

“We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution.” A speech given at the National Cathedral, March 31, 1968.

In solidarity,

Jimmie Wilson, Jr.
