Dear Neighbor,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an honor to serve as your state Senator. I am committed to the well-being and success of the residents in our community and have been working hard to provide support and opportunities for you and your family.<\/p>\n

From securing state funding to support access to higher education for local students, to championing commonsense legislation to ensure firearms are safely stored away from minors, I\u2019m always fighting to put the needs of our kids and families first and foremost \u2014 the way it should be.<\/p>\n

As always, if you have any feedback on legislation, ideas you want to share, or need any assistance navigating state departments, please feel free to reach out.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/senatedems.com\/polehanki\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/02\/Polehanki_sig.jpeg” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” alt=”Senator Polehanki signature” title_text=”Polehanki_sig” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Expanded Free Breakfast and Lunch to All Students
<\/strong>Ensured that all Michigan public school students, including the 13,000 students attending Livonia Public Schools for the \u201924-\u201925 school year, could receive free breakfast and lunch so they could focus on their learning.<\/p>\n

Prepared More Kids for Kindergarten<\/strong>
Increased eligibility for the free Great Start Readiness Pre-K Program, opening more opportunities for children to gain early exposure to math, reading, and thinking skills while learning how to get along with others.<\/p>\n

Strengthened Higher Education Opportunities
<\/strong>Expanded access to free community college for all students in every part of the state with the Community College Guarantee, including right here at Livonia\u2019s own Schoolcraft Community College.<\/p>\n

Supported Youth to Meet Proficiency Standards<\/strong>
Equipped districts with the tools to ensure all students are proficient in English language arts and mathematics and are prepared to succeed in high school and beyond \u2014 sending $5.7 million specifically to Livonia schools to support at-risk youth.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Supporting Dual Enrollment at Schoolcraft College
<\/strong>I was proud to help secure state funding to support a new pilot program that expands access to higher education for local high school students right here in our district. The first-of-its-kind program builds on Schoolcraft College\u2019s Early Middle College Program to allow high schoolers to take college courses in career-technical areas, including health care, public safety, manufacturing, and engineering \u2014 while also covering tuition, books, and other education costs.<\/p>\n

New Livonia Senior Wellness Center
<\/strong>Livonia enjoys over 80,000 visits to the current senior center and 800,000 visits to our recreation center every year, so it only makes sense to connect the two facilities together! That\u2019s why I proudly delivered $5 million in state funding to renovate the new senior wellness center! The new facility will be a large two-story community space connected to the recreation center with an elevator, covered entrance, coffee shop, fireplace, and plenty of meeting spaces for local clubs and activities.

Safe Storage Saves Lives
How you can help build Safer Communites<\/h3>\n

While my legislative colleagues and I work to advance gun safety policies \u2014 we all have a part to play in building safer communities. Under our state\u2019s new Secure Storage Law, Michigan gun owners are legally responsible for ensuring their firearms are stored in a safe manner.<\/p>\n

Safe storage can reduce the risk of both intentional and unintentional injuries and deaths, as well as lower the rates of firearm theft. Next time you store your firearm, ensure it\u2019s locked and inaccessible to children in a safe, secure location. If you don\u2019t have a gun lock but need one, free locks can be obtained through Project ChildSafe police partners across the state. Find one near you at ProjectChildSafe.org.<\/a><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_button button_text=”View PDF” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” button_alignment=”center” button_url=”https:\/\/senatedems.com\/polehanki\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/09\/202507-polehanki-families-v2.pdf” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
