About these pages:

Michigan works best when our people are informed on the issues, and also when they cast informed votes.  But the percentage of eligible voters who cast their ballots continues to decline election after election.  According to a study by Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, 23 million Americans contacted an elected official over a two year period, but didn’t bother to go vote!  We think something needs to be done.

These pages are designed to give you two things:
(1) the information and tools you need to stay up to date on critical industry issues, so that you can contact your elected officials on them and make your voice heard, and
(2) to make it to the polls and cast an informed vote.  We’ve included voter registration and absentee ballot information and forms for Michigan.  We’ve included tools to locate and contact your elected officials.  And, as candidates file for office and votes that matter in Lansing are cast, we’ll present candidate guides and voting records.

Throughout these page we present information to assist you in contacting your elected officials in Lansing on important hospitality industry issues, as well as in casting your vote and becoming more involved in the electoral process.

But we don’t – and won’t – tell you how to vote.  That decision is up to you.
