Political Quotes

“Today, I rise to recognize an incredible leader in mid-Michigan, Angie Hendershot. For the past 25 years, my constituents in Flint, Saginaw, and Bay City have welcomed Angie Hendershot into their homes as a reporter and anchor with ABC TV-12. She is a trusted voice in our community. Local reporters like Angie play a vital role in democracy. For the past 25 years, she has kept mid-Michigan informed and connected through her on-the-ground reporting and investigative journalism. Throughout her course of work, Angie has won many awards, including 10 Emmys and numerous awards from the Associated Press and Michigan Association of Broadcasters. But for Angie, working at ABC 12 isn't just a job; it is a way to give back to the community she loves. She has demonstrated time and time again her commitment to mid-Michigan throughout her career with volunteerism and charity work. One of those initiatives is the annual diaper drive, where Angie helps to collect donations of diapers, wipes, and cash to help the Flint Diaper Bank supply more than a million diapers to local, needy babies every year. Madam Speaker, I congratulate Angie on her achievements and this important milestone. I speak for our entire community when I say we look forward to welcoming her into our living rooms for many, many years to come. Great work, Angie. ____________________”
