What Michiganders Want: Investments in Children

Michigan voters say we must invest in children. In the newest
episode of Michigan’s Children Speaking for
Kids, host Matt Gillard leads an
important conversation on the results of a new statewide public
opinion poll that finds Michigan voters strongly support greater
investments in the state’s 2 million children, even if it means
raising taxes. Matt and guests break down what 800 likely 2022
General Election voters had to say about their priorities for
kids - overcoming learning loss due to the pandemic, supporting
kids’ mental health, and boosting jobs and skills training, among
others. They also discuss the key take-aways for child and family
advocates working to improve the odds for all children in
Michigan. Matt’s guests are Todd Patterson,
president of the Washington, D.C. strategic planning firm, Public
Progress, and Patrick Brown, Executive Director,
Michigan Association of Community and Adult Education.
