To help our community members make informed choices in the upcoming election, we asked candidates running for important local, state, and national seats to participate in our Forum to help you get to know them better. Today, meet Stephanie Moore.

With a framework and strategy that involves relationship building, prioritizing budgets, and advocating for resources Stephanie Moore is seeking election as State Representative for the 60^th District. “It’s been an honor to serve Kalamazoo as a city and county commissioner. I am a proven leader who is willing to do the work and represent all of the 60th District. Together, we can imagine a brighter future, and I have a plan to get us there!” As State Representative, Stephanie’s top priorities would include education, equity, economics, and the environment. “These priorities will serve as my focus as I support and promote legislation to ensure the 60th District’s overall economic development and long-term viability.” Stephanie also shared with us that her favorite artist is Mary J. Blige or anything R&B and that her most recent favorite read is Michelle Obama’s memoir “Becoming.” Meet Stephanie Moore.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR RUNNING FOR OFFICE?
It’s been an honor to serve Kalamazoo as a city and county commissioner. I am a proven leader who is willing to do the work and represent all of the 60th District. Together, we can imagine a brighter future, and I have a plan to get us there!!

PLEASE LIST YOUR TOP PRIORITIES WITHIN THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THIS ELECTED OFFICE.
My priorities are education, equity, economics, and the environment. These priorities will serve as my focus as I support and promote legislation to ensure the 60th District’s overall economic development and long-term viability. Please visit my website to learn more about each priority.

HOW DO YOU PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THESE GOALS WITHIN THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE OFFICE?

I have a framework and strategy that involves relationship building, prioritizing budgets, and advocating for resources. Due to COVID-19, our district is economically in peril. We also have civil and social challenges that can impede progress. We must work together and steward resources equitably.

HOW DO YOU PLAN TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF THE ECONOMY IF ELECTED?

We must support our small businesses, especially those who are women, veterans, and minority-owned through loans, grants, and B2B partnerships. I believe this current climate presents us with an opportunity to be innovative and agile enough to sustain the 60th District in an ever-changing economy.
