Hello Neighbors, fall is here, and the holidays will be here before we know it. During this time, it is important to make a plan to vote, and to remind your family and friends to do so as well. If you have any questions about voting locations, absentee voting, early voting or more, I recommend reaching out to your local clerk, or the Washtenaw County Clerk’s office – linked here.
Your vote is one of your most powerful tools for shaping how our district and state move forward.
Side note: If you are still waiting on your Michigan state tax return, please email my office at [email protected], and we will do our best to assist you.
In solidarity,

Immigration Town Hall Resources:
Thank you to everyone who attended our virtual town hall on immigration earlier this year. I was joined by special guests Washtenaw County Sheriff Alyshia Dyer and the Michigan American Civil Liberties Union as we discussed immigration rights and resources.
To watch the recording, check out this link to the event: Wilson’s Immigration Town Hall.
