FROM THE FIREHOUSE
TO THE STATE HOUSE

Abigail Wheeler marks the third generation of her family to grow up in Mattawan. Her families’ blue collar roots and strong work ethic have shaped her perspective. Abigail believes that if you work hard enough, you can get ahead in life. Through her experience as an EMT/Firefighter and local representative, she has seen the troubles that plague her community including a lack of governmental transparency, a need to improve the educational system, and care for Michigan’s greatest resource: it’s water.

Wheeler became a firefighter and licensed EMT in 2017. She is employed by the Texas Township Fire Department and is also a volunteer firefighter for Mattawan. Abigail is calm under pressure and fast acting in an emergency. She has made a positive impact in her community by helping her neighbors during some of the worst moments of their lives.

Lowering Prescription Drug Costs - Prescription drug prices are skyrocketing, forcing Michiganders to choose between putting food on the table or filling a prescription. We need to lift the burden off working families by lowering the costs of prescription drugs.

Protecting Our Water - For too long the safety of our water has been taken for granted.  The working families of Michigan shouldn't have to question whether the water coming out of the tap is safe for their families to drink.

Transparency and Accountability - Michigan ranks as the worst in the nation in regards to government accountability and transparency.  The people of Southwest Michigan deserve a representative who works for them and not for wealthy corporate backers.
