TAKING ACTION. GETTING RESULTS.

A longtime advocate, conservationist, farmer, and public servant, Sue Shink is an effective, solutions-oriented leader who gets things done. During her service as Chair of the Board of Commissioners, Washtenaw County has made historic progress on civil rights and lasting infrastructure investments that will pay off for years to come.

 Sue’s serving in Michigan’s new 14th Senate District!

Following the 2020 Census and Michigan Independent Redistricting Commission’s process, Michigan’s new 14th Senate District was one of the most competitive in the state. The new SD-14 encompasses portions of both Washtenaw and Jackson Counties, including the northern half of Ann Arbor, all of the city of Jackson, and rural swaths of both counties.
