Welcome
May I please serve your voice and your vote as Saginaw Township Treasurer? Our family is proud to call this place home, with deep roots here for over 50 years. It would be an honor to partner with you and lead with common sense, for the common good of our future generations. Now, more than ever, we must have ethical and competent elected leaders. I pray that I might earn your trust and your vote, from all political views. Thank you for being a valued member of this great community.
