MTA leadership brought the township message to Washington, DC this week, where they met with members of Michigan’s congressional delegation to discuss key issues of importance to townships and local governments in the state and across the nation. Participating in a federal advocacy and educational event organized by our national organization, the National Association of Towns and Townships, were 2025 MTA President Harold Koviak, Immediate Past President Connie Cargill, MTA Second Vice President and District 22 Director Malinda Cole-Crocker, and MTA District 23 Director Don Rogers. 
They spent their time on Capitol Hill sharing insights and perspectives on critical federal issues, including retention of tax-exempt municipal bonds (see related article above), broadband, transportation considerations, cybersecurity funding and reauthorization of grant programs. The members met with U.S. Reps. John Moolenaar, Tim Walberg, Jack Bergman and Haley Stevens, and staff with U.S. Sens. Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin and U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga. MTA thanks them for their interest in and support of Michigan’s townships and the value of local government.
