I encourage you to contact me with any state issues. You can call toll-free at 855-347-8030 or email SenMHuizenga@senate.michigan.gov.  Let me know if I can assist you in any way or if you have an idea to help move our state forward.

Working for you,

Mark Huizenga
State Senator

I’m introducing my new podcast, Conversations with Mark, where I’ll be talking with community members and local leaders from Michigan’s 30th Senate District. We’ll talk about the issues that matter most to families.

New episodes drop every other Thursday on all major platforms. I hope you’ll join us!

I hold in-person office hours throughout the district on a regular basis because hearing directly from people about the issues they are facing is an important part of representing everyone in West Michigan. These meetings give local residents a chance to express their viewpoints about what needs to be done and receive help with a variety of state issues.

I will be available to meet on a one-on-one basis with constituents at the following dates, times and locations:

Office hours are open to all residents, and no appointment is necessary. Anyone who is unable to attend the office hours may contact my office.

It was an honor to attend and speak at the banner raising for the Grand Rapids West Catholic football team recognizing its 2025 state championship.

From the players to the coaches, the school and the community, it was true teamwork that brought them this amazing accomplishment. Go Falcons!

As we continue into 2026, I look forward to solving the problems facing West Michigan and providing real solutions. Some of my top priorities include passing a balanced, bipartisan budget on time, ensuring our kids receive a high quality education and helping lower costs for West Michigan families.

By working together, we can create a better state for everyone to live, work and raise a family.

I recently had a chance to learn how to Luge – a popular Olympic sport. Did you know that there are only four luge tracks in the United States and two of them are in Michigan? I spent the day in Muskegon with Sen. Jon Bumstead at the Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park, seeing firsthand the impact this world class facility has on West Michigan.

Hint – You may even catch me taking a run down the track.

Michigan residents have reported an increase in robocall scams, which often target seniors and other vulnerable consumers.

The Senate passed bipartisan legislation that would strengthen consumer protections and empower the attorney general to crack down on harmful spammers who violate the law.

Prolonged below-freezing temperatures have increased the use of fuel-burning equipment, raising the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Each year, approximately 34 people in Michigan die from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning and hundreds more seek emergency treatment. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that often goes undetected.

The best defense against carbon monoxide poisoning is installing CO detectors with battery backup on every level of a home, with batteries replaced every six months. Anyone who suspects carbon monoxide exposure should call 911 immediately.

Serving the people of West Michigan is very important to me and I encourage you to contact me with any state issues. You may contact me by calling toll-free 1-855-347-8030 or emailing SenMHuizenga@senate.michigan.gov.

I look forward to serving you, and I encourage you to contact me if I can assist you in any way or if you have an idea to help move our state forward.
