State Representative Brenda Carter

Pontiac’s comeback is bigger than any one office, title, or person.

This progress belongs to the people of Pontiac — the residents, workers, small businesses, community leaders, city partners, county partners, state partners, and everyone who refused to give up on this city.

I am proud to have played my part in helping secure the State of Michigan’s $50 million commitment to move Downtown Pontiac forward.

But this work cannot stop at buildings. It must reach the people — through jobs, housing, healthcare access, green space, safer corridors, stronger neighborhoods, and real opportunity for families who have waited too long to see investment return.

When partnership is done right, Pontiac does not get left behind.

As State Representative for House District 53, I will continue working to protect, prepare, and empower our communities — and to make sure Pontiac’s progress reaches the people who call this city home.
