Well, the lame duck session is over for the Michigan legislature! And I am happy to have gotten several bills passed and to the Governor’s desk.

I am proud to have passed four of my bills in 2020, to:

• Institute a water shut off moratorium during the pandemic,
• Permanently create the Family Advisory Board within the Department of Corrections,
• Expand the age eligibility for HYTA (an important criminal justice alternative program for young people), and
• Implement an address confidentiality program for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

If you would have said six months ago that we could get a water shutoff moratorium through a Republican legislature with wide bipartisan support, most people would have laughed. But thanks to the tireless work of dozens of activists, organizations, lobbyists – WE DID IT!

“Getting Things Done” has always been our slogan for Team Chang – and we really mean it. Can you send in a $10 or $25 donation? Your ongoing campaign support allows me and my team to stay focused on delivering results and solving problems for our residents.

2020 has been a _____ (fill in the blank with whatever adjective you see fit, seriously) year. And I’ll be honest – I cannot wait for 2021 to get here. We have a lot more we need to get done for Detroit and Downriver as soon as possible.

I will always fight hard for what my residents deserve, even when billionaires are on the opposite side.

With gratitude,

P.S. Thank you for your continuing support. It is truly an honor to be able to serve my community. Here's a donation link -- any support you can give right now is so appreciated.
