Create jobs and strengthen Michigan's economy
As Michigan moves forward into the 21st century, House Democrats are committed to creating good-paying jobs for our workers and strengthening Michigan's economy. As we strive to diversify and strengthen Michigan's economy, we can look to the past for inspiration. Michigan always has been a trailblazer. The same state that gave birth to the auto industry can pave the way for a new economy built around the cutting-edge fields of homeland security, alternative fuels, renewable energy, life sciences and high-tech automotive engineering.
