Rep. Calley: Michigan House continues taking action to address COVID-19
RELEASE|December 2, 2020

State Rep. Julie Calley of Portland today issued the following statement as the Michigan House prepares to take up several measures to address COVID-19:

            “My colleagues and I are deeply committed to protecting the people we serve, and we have been since the very first day this virus was identified in Michigan. The needs of our first responders, health care workers and frontline employees are ever-changing, and it’s incredibly important to make sure they have the right tools in place, so they can serve our communities well. We’re moving forward with several measures that will provide relief in the coming weeks, and I’m hopeful the governor will partner with us to get them across the finish line.”
