I grew up in Michigan. I feel like a lot of my childhood was in solitude, in the woods or making tree forts.
I am so proud of the growth of Dylan’s Candy Bar into two more flagship stores: Union Square in New York City and Chicago on Michigan Avenue, and two airport stores: JFK and Detroit.
With Michigan’s economic future on the line, we can’t afford to have our 500 local school districts marching in different directions. Instead, we need a high standards, mandatory curriculum to get all our students on the road to higher education and a good paying job.
As Michigan’s voice on the Senate Finance Committee and Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I will continue working to make sure the next generation of advanced technologies and alternative fuel vehicles are made right here in America.
The people of Michigan deserve leadership in Lansing that will work to continue providing them with services they depend on every day.
I grew up in Flint, Michigan so I’m used to broken promises so I don’t look forward to anything. I look forward to the now. I don’t even like planning trips more than a week ahead because you don’t know how you’re going to feel a week from now.
The hardest-hit taxpayers in our disgraceful tax system are those folks who pack Trump’s rallies, especially in hard-hit Rust Belt states like Ohio and Michigan.
People don’t cut through Michigan the way they cut through Ohio and Pennsylvania and Illinois. So tolls are more complicated for us because we’re a destination state.
I’ll do everything I can to ensure the Clean Water Act is enforced here in Michigan, and I’ll work to ensure everyone in Michigan has access to safe, affordable water, regardless of where they live.
The state of Michigan going to Trump was an amazing thing. Of course the fake news media was shocked; they never considered that white working class residents of Michigan may not like being called evil racists clinging to guns and Bibles.
I ended up working in Michigan for a young company called Sycor out of Michigan, worked there, and that company got bought by Northern Telecom. We became the Bell Northern Research Labs of Northern Telecom.
My dad taught me to play bass. He’s a bass player; he still plays in a band in Michigan to this day. He taught me to play bass when I was about 6. I used to just go to band practice with him, and whoever didn’t show up for rehearsal that day, I would take their spot.
Michigan… it’s a great state… somewhere.
At a time when too many people want to separate us by building walls, we here in Michigan are going to get back to building bridges together.
I love living in Michigan, which has been great for my kids and my family.
Once Michigan stood proud. In addition to GM, Ford and Chrysler, it was home base for the United Auto Workers, a powerful escalator transporting hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers into America’s middle class.
As a Michigan senator, I feel a special responsibility to protect the Great Lakes. They are not only a source of clean drinking water for more than 30 million people but are also an integral part of Michigan’s heritage and its economy.
I helped put in a rink in Cadillac, Michigan, when my wife was very healthy. She helped them put it in and the rink is going full-bore the last time I was there.
I kind of did mixed martial arts as a hobby. At the time I was actually wanting to become a police officer as I was working in a hospital as a security job in Michigan. It was something I did in my off time.
I’ve surfed on Lake Michigan.
I’m a suburban mom. I grew up in Oakland County, Michigan.
What you hear is southern Michigan, not a drawl, but a halting kind of speech where you leave spaces when there shouldn’t be any. We take a breath anywhere.
In Michigan, a liberal democrat raised taxes and kept their government programs at the same level. And guess what? Their economy continued into the toilet, it continued down.
Funny people come from all over. I think Michigan has dark humor on lock, though. Michigan, to me, is equal parts beautiful and noticeably dark. Saginaw made me dark, hahaha.
I grew up in Michigan, so I played hockey, football and basketball. I played a little bit of lacrosse, too. My brother played more lacrosse and ran track.
I auditioned at four different colleges. When I got into the University of Michigan, my parents said, ‘Okay, maybe you do have talent.’
Whether or not we can save Lake Michigan, whether or not we can avoid a breakdown in our criminal justice system are more important than whether or not I’m going to be governor.
It’s not as if I dislike Michigan. I have a lot of respect for the university – not only the athletic department but how they educate young people. The only reason I dislike them is because they are the No. 1 rival for OSU.
In the middle of my sophomore year, I was sent to boarding school, at the Cranbrook School for boys, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where I fell in love with Marilyn Monroe. I knew that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and yet she was in pain, in need. She was unhappy. I believed that I could help her.
Because my brother liked Michigan, I liked Michigan, and by the nature of that, I didn’t like Ohio State.
In the fourth grade, my history teacher gave us a project: Why was the auto industry located in Detroit, Michigan? I didn’t know I was going to be an economist, but I knew I was going to do something that was involved in answering questions like that one because I thought that was a fascinating question.
I don’t get back to Michigan nearly as much as I’d like to.
With four of the top ten most violent cities in America, Michigan will never fully flourish unless our governments can fulfill their basic task: protecting public safety.
I think we’ve got outstanding teaching in Michigan classrooms.
Detroit’s really important to the success of our state. You know, you can’t have a successful Michigan if the biggest city isn’t a success as well.
I haven’t had a chance to pick where I wanted to play since 2007 when I chose to go to Michigan State.
At nine or ten, I was playing guitar in music class in my elementary school in Jackson, Michigan. They had a guitar class, and I played with ten of my classmates, and we did a little guitar orchestra for a school music.
I had a bet with Gordon Kane of Michigan University that the Higgs particle wouldn’t be found.
God blessed me by putting me here for thirty-one years at Michigan and Trumbull.
In 2004, one of my books, ‘Whale Talk,’ was chosen as an all-school read in Fowlerville, Michigan, a rural town not far from Detroit. They had done what I thought was a brilliant and innovative thing: decided to teach the book in every discipline, sophomores through seniors.
Before I broke my back, I was really looking forward to playing hockey at the University of Michigan. That was my biggest goal.
I started acting at the University of Michigan in my sophomore year.
Michigan has such grandiosity. It has all those all-Americans. You can’t go anywhere without finding a Michigan graduate.
By these purchases the Indian title, with moderate reservations, has been extinguished to the whole of the land within the limits of the State of Ohio, and to a part of that in the Michigan Territory and of the State of Indiana.
The recount in Michigan is over. The election is over. Our next president is Donald J. Trump. Winning once was nice. But winning twice was huge.
I grew up with a big backyard that led to the sand dunes of Lake Michigan.
There is a racial element: It’s undeniable. We’ve had inequitable funding of schools for decades in the state of Michigan.
In Michigan, in the mid-’80s, the unemployment rate goes way up because a lot of factories shut down. And then, the mid-2000s, to pick a date, the unemployment rate in Michigan isn’t that much higher than in the rest of the country. But the main way that happened is people moved.
My brother went to Ohio State. I think Cris Carter just graduated, but Cris was there a lot. I got a chance to go up there and watch the battle between Ohio State and Michigan.
I’m actually forced to write about Michigan because as a native of that state it’s the place I know best.
I liked what any other kid did back in the day. You know, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, and everything else that was on the radio in Michigan. There was a lot of Steely Dan; just a lot of great music inspired me.
The current Michigan Constitution was written in 1961 and ’62.
Personally, I’m incredibly lucky to represent the 10th district of Illinois, which stretches from the edges of Cook county all the way north along Lake Michigan to the borders of Wisconsin. From the lake all the way west to Fox Lake. It’s an incredible district.
It’s more than a little ironic that the mantra that swept Bill Clinton into office is exactly what prevented Hillary from winning it. Somehow, the Manhattan billionaire became the voice of the disaffected blue-collar middle class in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
For the longest time we looked at the career as a ladder, right, that there was one way up. I want to make sure that in Michigan we think of skills as rock climbing, that there’s a different path for everyone. And each has dignity and each has the ability to make a good living here.
