I appreciate your feedback, so please feel free to reach out. You can contact me by sending an email to SenVKlinefelt@senate.michigan.gov or calling 517-373-7670.

Budget Update
Every year, the Michigan Legislature is tasked with crafting a fiscally responsible budget by July 1. This is not a trivial deadline, but one that our schools count on us meeting so they can make proper plans for the upcoming school year.
While the Senate put forth our comprehensive budget recommendations ahead of the deadline, the House Republican leadership has failed to produce the vast majority of their budget.
In our proposed education budget, we put Michigan students first, with historic investments to ensure they have the support and resources they need for a well-rounded education. And in the rest of the state budget, we proposed a slate of people-focused investments to bolster community safety, increase job training opportunities, support small businesses, ensure our seniors and veterans have the benefits they worked a lifetime for, build up our state’s infrastructure, and so much more.
As we wait for the House Republicans to put forth the rest of their budget, I will continue providing updates on where we’re at in the budget process.
