The Michigan Independent Citizen’s Redistricting Committee has completed their work and Michigan’s politicians are quickly aligning themselves with the new districts.
State Representative Phil Green, a Republican from Tuscola County, currently represents the 84th district. Green has announced his candidacy for the newly created 67th District.
The new district includes portions of Tuscola, Lapeer, and Genesee Counties, including the city of Lapeer.
Representative Green said, “I would be an honor to represent the people of the new 67th district. As a region, many of the same issues that I have fought to resolve over the past three years are the same issues the new district also faces.”
Green continued, saying, “I look forward to continue to advocate great jobs, increasing the availability of training in the skilled trades, access to high speed internet for our rural residents, and effective health care including mental health services.”
Green worked as a youth pastor and chaplain for the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office before being elected to the Michigan House in 2018.
