Michael previously worked as a community organizer, and before that researched Mediterranean foreign policy with the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies. He earned his bachelor's degree summa cum laude from Washington University in St Louis, his masters degree with distinction from the London School of Economics, and lives in Traverse City with his fiance Sarah and collie named Tex.
Currently serving on the Board of Directors of Traverse City's Downtown Development Authority, Michael is also on the Planning Committee of his local congregation and is about to begin teaching a course on American foreign policy at Northwestern Michigan College. He’s an active member of the Grand Traverse Democratic Party, the Michigan Democratic Party, and is excited to contribute even more fully to our northern Michigan community.- I’m a born and raised Michigander who’s spent my entire career lowering barriers to political entry.
- I know what it takes to create the kind of opportunity-filled community that can draw our families back home and prevent them from leaving.
- I have the fresh energy, perspective, and ideas to solve this challenge.
Affordable Child Care. Affordable child care should be accessible to every family in our community. Without it, we’ll continue losing our next generation to places that can better accommodate both family and working life. Far too often parents need to pick between contributing professionally on the one hand, and staying home to look after their kids on the other. This shouldn’t be a trade-off that families need to make. It actively hurts our community.
The Secretary of State should then randomly select 4 Democrats, 4 Republicans, and 5 independents from the pool of qualified applicants. Final maps should be passed by an affirmative vote of 7 commissioners — including 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and 2 independents. This process is designed to optimize for fairness, collaboration, and compromise.
