Working across the aisle in the Michigan Senate – with Senators Chang and Damoose
Open to Everyone
Michigan State Senators Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) and John Damoose (R-Harbor Spring) join the Ford School for a “Conversation Across Differences”, which will bring together political leaders from across the aisle to an open forum that explores common ground. In these polarized days, these conversations are more important than ever.
The senators have been examples of the ways in which the two sides of the Senate can cooperate and get things done – concerning water safety, RXKids, and other issues. The community will benefit from hearing about the ways in which they have been able to collaborate.
Of course, there are many issues on which they don’t agree, and a civil airing of views is equally important in the current hyperbolic communications environment.
