About Senator Debbie Stabenow

 

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow has always been a true friend to the Downriver community. Since being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000, she has been recognized for her ability to build coalitions and get things done for Michigan and our country.

Senator Stabenow is a champion for creating jobs and economic opportunities for Michigan. Her work led to the creation of the State Small Business Credit Initiative, which provides loans to small businesses so that they can expand their operations and hire new workers. She also advocated for the recent grant from the Economic Development Administration that will support new job creation strategies in Trenton, Ecorse, Wyandotte, and River Rouge.

Senator Stabenow was a key leader in the fight to establish the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge – and is now a strong supporter of the EPA’s Brownfield Grant for Redevelopment Plan in River Rouge.

Senator Stabenow is the ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee and is a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, Energy Committee, and Budget Committee. She also serves as Co-Chair of the bipartisan Senate Great Lakes Task Force and Co-Chair of the bipartisan Senate Manufacturing Caucus. These positions, as well as her new role in the Senate Leadership, give her a powerful and unique part to play in shaping our nation’s manufacturing, health care, and agriculture policies.
