This commission will be composed of 13 randomly selected Michigan registered voters: four affiliated with the Democratic Party, four affiliated with the Republican Party, and five who do not affiliate with either major political party. <br \/><br \/><strong>This year is also a Census year, and it has never been easier to participate. <\/strong>By returning your completed Census form, you are helping Michigan to be represented in Congress and determining how much funding we get for Head Start, health care, schools, roads, and our local communities. <br \/><br \/>Visit <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/my2020census.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">My2020Census.gov <\/a><\/strong>to complete your questionnaire.
