Dear State Senator McMorrow,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, environment, and social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, expand on social justice to improve communities, and many others.  State Senator McMorrow, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how i find your work when you served as Member of the Michigan Senate from 13th district and as current Member of the Michigan Senate from 8th district to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as  Member of the Michigan Senate from 13th district from 2019-2023 and as current Member of the Michigan Senate from 8th district,  I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, supporting funds for women including minorities businesses to help them compete in the economy, and expanding laws to combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different.  On the economy, I liked on how you support expanding jobs-training programs to help train youth including workers to develop work skills to help prepare for the work force and advocate for the need to raise the minimum wage to help assist minimum wage workers afford  to live.  Also during covid-19 pandemic, I really like on how you have been a fierce advocate and supporter for people who are low-income or people who have lost jobs or are struggling with unemployment to get assist on getting health insurance to help them stay healthy along with get help on mental health. Also during Covid 19 including the new normal era, I really like on how you work hard to help Michiganders get help on filing for unemployment when UIA is making hard for Michiganders and advocate for the need for a better stimulus money yo help people who are low income or have lost a job to have some financial security.  Supporting funds for renewable energy resources to help reduce addiction on oil with gas, encouraging businesses including industries to use energy efficient products to help reduce high energy cost while reduce pollution, and working with state legislatures to expand funds to help clean parks including water resources to make them safe for people to use is common sense to help protect the environment.  On education, I really like your commitment to provide funds to help improve special education to help students with disabilities get the accommodations they need to learn and support literacy programs to help students including adults develop or improve on their literacy skills.  On voter’s rights I really like on how you are an advocate for the need for in-person early voting before the election and allow people to have absentee ballot without a reason.  Another thing that I like about your work in the Michigan Senate was how you pushed for legislation to repeal the tampon tax to help provide women including women who are low income afford to get menstrual products for other health reasons including better access to safe sex so they won’t have to pay high taxes, advocate for the need for more programs to help the homeless get shelter along with supplies, support the need for better health care to help people with pre-existing conditions or people who can’t afford insurance get the care they need, heavily support women’s rights to choose, and support expanding funds to help assist people with autism spectrum including people with disabilities to get better access to health care services. 

State Senator McMorrow, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advanced subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts in different settings (social and environmental), and get teased. Also with my disability I sometimes face discrimination in getting help in the health care system or other services. Your continuous strong support for Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  On Youtube, I really enjoyed listening to your speech on the Michigan capitol about speaking out against false rumors that someone spread about you including sharing your experience about being bullied. Your role as former member of the Michigan Senate from 13th district and as current Member of the Michigan Senate from 8th district gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and many others. 

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in the Michigan state legislature. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights, protect the environment, expand on social justice, and many others. You truly inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn more about your work, and continue to learn different subjects. Thank you for speaking out against bullying in the Michigan capitol. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to advocate and push for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
