AARP Michigan is part of the Michigan Dementia Coalition, which is developing a three-year plan for making the state more responsive to the needs of those with dementia. The coalition will publish its recommendations at the end of 2018 and share them with the new governor and lawmakers in early 2019.
Michigan’s general election Nov. 6 includes races for governor, a U.S. Senate seat, all 14 U.S. House seats, 148 state legislative seats, secretary of state and attorney general.
Michigan voters will elect a new governor this year. Gov. Rick Snyder (R) can’t run due to term limits, and a crowded field in both major parties is vying to replace him in the primary elections on Tuesday, Aug. 7, and the general election, Tuesday, Nov. 6.
AARP Michigan is working with Vonda VanTil, a Social Security public affairs specialist in Grand Rapids, to offer a series of workshops to help Michiganders learn how to apply for Social Security benefits.
