A lifelong resident of Michigan, Laurie Pohutsky has always volunteered to help her community. When she was a student at Michigan State University, Laurie volunteered at the Listening Ear Crisis Center, and learned how intimately legislation affects people’s lives. Laurie knows that concerns about the economy, student debt and obtaining a living wage are not just stories on the news. They are the stories of people in her community. As a State Representative in Michigan’s 19th District, Laurie will continue to work toward a Michigan that affords everyone their basic human rights.
Priorities:
Ensuring healthcare as a human right, achieving full civil rights for all, repairing Michigan’s roads, protecting the environment, women’s rights, access to care for senior citizens and education for children.
