How Can We Help? We’re Available to Serve You 

Dear Friend, 

We want to tell you about the resources available to you from YOUR state senator. We hope you won’t hesitate to use these services when needed. 

Your state Senate office reaches three counties: Branch, Hillsdale, and Jackson. Our small but capable staff of four works not only on legislation, but also as your voice in Lansing. 

How can we help your business? 

First, true representation. As the founder of a manufacturing business, I understand how important it is for our perspective to be heard by our legislators. It is a privilege to bring that real-world experience to the legislative chambers. 

Second, good answers. If you have a question about state-level legislation past or present, we can help get you an answer. We have access to research teams, contacts, and some data sources that are very helpful. Knowing how state laws impact you can be very helpful. 

Third, real support. We have helped numerous individuals and businesses resolve state-level issues. In Branch County we removed barriers so a local organization got answers they needed from a state agency. Our visits to Hillsdale manufacturing facilities have been rewarding. In Jackson, we challenged a burdensome state inspection process so a school program could continue serving students. We are here to serve you. 

Last, useful news. If you would like to stay current on state events, subscribe to our email newsletter and like our page on Facebook. We provide helpful community news and legislative highlights. 

Serving with and for you, 

Sen. Mike Shirkey 
16th District
