Next week, Census forms will be mailed to households across the country, and the Michigan Democratic Party wants to remind you to fill out the form and return it by mail.

It's very important to make sure everyone in Michigan is counted. If not, we could lose out on tens of thousands of dollars per person in federal funding.

As your State Representative, I am here to represent and to work on your behalf, not just in Lansing but also in our communities. I hope this e-newsletter will be a helpful tool to let you know what I am working on and keep you informed on the important issues coming up at the Capitol.

We all know that Michigan is struggling. Some folks are struggling to buy groceries or pay the mortgage. For many at this time of year figuring out how to do their taxes can be another expensive and complicated challenge.

We all know that despite encouraging evidence that our economy is bouncing back, we have a long way to go before it is creating the jobs that provide opportunity for American families. And one of the biggest roadblocks to job creation right now is access to capital for our small businesses.

9th District Democratic Party member Aaron Bailey is a candidate for the Michigan State Senate, District 13 (Royal Oak, Clawson, Madison Heights, Troy, Berkley, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Bloomfield Twp). The seat is currently held by Republican John Pappageorge.

You are invited to join us Wednesday to help plan how we are going to elect Aaron to the Michigan State Senate.

From Mark Brewer, MDP Chair: Election season is upon us and we have a lot of work to do. One of our top priorities is to defeat Justice Bob Young on the Michigan Supreme Court.

For too long, Justice Bob Young has ruled to protect greedy corporate CEOs, insurance companies, and workplace sex offenders. He has used his power on the bench to dictate policy and not do what's best for Michigan and its residents.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Check out this upcoming event in March in which a Wayne State University Law School Professor analyzes the Court and some of its decisions over the past decade.

"Michigan, we've got a problem!"
