Senator Debbie Stabenow has been a champion for Michigan and a role model for social workers everywhere. With the heart of a social worker, she dedicated her career to lifting up vulnerable communities, expanding access to mental health care, and advocating
for policies that improve lives. Her work on behalf of Michigan’s families, farmers, and environment reflects the core values of our profession: compassion, equity, and justice.
As the first woman to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate,
Senator Stabenow blazed a trail that inspires social workers and leaders alike to push boundaries and fight for meaningful change. Her tireless efforts to strengthen mental health systems and her commitment to bipartisan solutions leave a lasting
legacy that will benefit generations to come. Social workers across Michigan thank her for her service and will carry forward her vision of a more just and equitable society.
