In an annual Mackinac Policy Conference tradition, the Detroit Regional Chamber Political Action Committee (PAC) Reception, “A Toast to Michigan,” served as a pivotal moment, illuminating the state’s path forward in key areas of business, bipartisanship, and civic involvement. In addition, the Chamber PAC is comprised of business leaders representing diverse perspectives across the political spectrum, reflecting a range of industries, business sizes, and geographic locations.
“The task at hand for the next 30 days, the thing that we have the most ability to influence and control for the good of the people of Michigan is passing a responsible, balanced budget and doing so on time.”
“With all of these problems facing our state, my focus is not to go back and campaign. My focus is to engage with Gov. [Gretchen] Whitmer and engage with Leader [Winnie] Brinks and keep them at the table so we can solve more of these problems.”
“We’re at a crossroads here in the state of Michigan; we can either just tinker around with the status quo over the next few years, and we’re going to continue to be in the bottom 10 in education, job growth, job opportunities, income growth, [and] education, or we can actually shake up the status quo in Lansing.”
“When leadership and our chamber have a warped sense of reality, and wants to continue to use every opportunity to turn everything into a political football, the people of Michigan suffer.”
This session was supported by DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, and Henry Ford Health.
