We created and led a major coalition of Michigan job creators in a successful campaign to #EndTheOfficeBan and stop temporary restrictions from being a permanent economic burden.

Build It Michigan Strong
Michigan's roads are getting fixed but inflationary costs are eating into our budgets. We created a bipartisan labor and business coalition to support a new statewide aggregates permitting plan.

When the politics around an issue got too loud, we did something novel-- we helped elevate the voices of those most affected. Servers and bartenders spoke out to protect their income.

Survivors of sexual assault deserve a path to justice. We worked with a bipartisan set of legislators and advocates to publicize support for new policy and elevate voices of survivors.
