While attending Wayne State University Law School, I had the honor to serve as the President of their Student Bar Associations Board of Governors. Concurrently, I chose to work as a student attorney at the Free Legal Aid Clinic where we provided free legal services to Wayne County's senior and low-income population.
Following my graduation from Wayne Law, I was asked to work on Mark Schauer's Gubernatorial Campaign traveling the state with Lieutenant Governor candidate Lisa Brown, learning and listening to the issues that matter most to Michigan's residents.
I'm an active member of the State Bar of Michigan, a member of Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park, and a former board member of the Jewish Gay Network.- As a former legislative aide and a licensed attorney, I am ready on day one to be a champion for the 27th district.
- Having had the daily experience of working with constituents and utilizing the office of a state representative, will allow me to continue the districts legacy of strong community leadership.
- My legislative and legal background enables me to immediately tackle the many issues facing Michiganders.
Featured local questionThe fight for LGBTQ equality is deeply personally to me and to this district. I'm privileged to live my life as an openly gay man, but the laws in this state do not protect me or my fellow Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer community members. We must move forward and make Michigan a welcoming state where people can live as their authentic selves. This is not just a civil rights issue, but an economic issue as well; if we are to attract talent, young people and businesses to this state we must amend Elliot Larsen.
