Meet John Chirkun...

Picture

Hello. My name is John Chirkun, Democratic State Representative running to serve as your voice for another term in the Michigan House of Representatives, 22nd House district. 
Serving as your State Representative for the last two years, I have worked tirelessly to protect working families and our state’s middle class by promoting policies that will create a more equitable tax structure for the residents of Roseville and Warren. 

Since first being elected to the Roseville City Council in 1995, and during my time as Mayor, my priority has been building a financially-secure and economically-vibrant City.  We have met our objectives through teamwork — bringing unions, businesses and residents together around shared, common goals.  It has not been easy but the end result proves it is well worth our time and effort.  I enjoy public service and using the influence of sound public policies to make people’s lives better.

In addition to my years of experience in local government, I proudly served in the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department for 29 years, and was elected Vice President of SEIU Local 502 during the time they represented the deputies. This extensive background in labor and local government has provided me with the leadership skills and experience necessary to make the right decisions that benefit our community.

The current agenda in Lansing is doing a disservice to a large majority of Michigan residents.  Increasing taxes on middle class families, taxing retirement income, cutting funding for our public schools, neglecting our transportation infrastructure, attacking the rights of working men and women, and stripping much needed funding from cities and townships is the wrong way to govern.  We can and must do better. As State Representative, I pledge to do everything I can to turn Michigan around.  I have stood up for the working and middle class values that the residents of the 22nd district expect from their elected officials and I will continue to do so if you re-elect me. 

Decisions made by elected officials in our state capitol will have a lasting impact on our state’s residents for decades to come.  This is why it is essential to have elected officials who truly understand the needs of working families, are committed to improving public education and who recognize that local governments need proper funding to provide essential services such as public safety. Simply put, we need to invest in our communities and citizens. I will continue to fight for you in Lansing!

I hope to earn your support in my run for re-election in the 22nd State House District. Together, we can move Michigan forward with a positive vision built on common-sense leadership for working families.  If you have any questions, or would like to discuss my vision in greater detail, feel free to contact me anytime.

It is an honor to serve as your state representative.  If you would like to see what is happening in Lansing or would like to receive emails regarding legislative issues or state government related matters or want to know my upcoming constituent coffee hours, please visit my website at http://chirkun.housedems.com

John Chirkun
