What Michiganders Want: Investments in Children

<p>Michigan voters say we must invest in children. In the newest episode of <strong>Michigan’s Children <em>Speaking for Kids</em></strong><em>, </em>host <strong>Matt Gillard </strong>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 <strong>Todd Patterson,</strong> president of the Washington, D.C. strategic planning firm, Public Progress, and <strong>Patrick Brown</strong>, Executive Director, Michigan Association of Community and Adult Education.</p>
