I was raised on a family farm in Wexford County\, Michigan. After a career in law and banking\, I returned to Michigan in 2018 when my parents passed away. While experiencing the difficulties of re-starting a farm\, I became more and more involved in politics and the farming community\, eventually joining our county’s Farm Bureau Board of Directors and later becoming Chair of our Policy Development Committee…I know firsthand the challenges facing family farms\, small businesses\, and families across our district. Rural voices are overlooked in Lansing\, and that needs to change. I’m running to make sure our communities have a strong\, common-sense voice at the table (https://www.yonkmanforsenate.org/). \n​To learn more about Mark\, see https://www.yonkmanforsenate.org/. \n \n \n RSVP for This Event URL:https://www.wexforddems.org/event/meet-greet-campaign-fundraiser-for-mark-yonkman/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.wexforddems.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Meet-Greet-Fundraiser-Mark-Yonkman.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260618T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260618T200000 DTSTAMP:20260702T161001 CREATED:20260607T135208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260607T135419Z UID:1827-1781805600-1781812800@www.wexforddems.org SUMMARY:Letters to the Editor Writing Group (June) DESCRIPTION:NOTE: THE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WRITING GROUP IS SWITCHING TO THURSDAY EVENINGS. \nYour perspective matters!

From the classroom to the courtroom\, she’s fought for kids\, families\, and justice with compassion and common sense. In the wake of the Oxford High School tragedy\, Karen made history by securing landmark convictions\, but it was not enough. Karen’s actions sent a clear message: as a state and a country\, we can do more to prevent gun violence. A mother of five\, she’s dedicated to building a safer\, fairer future for every Michigan family — and she’s just getting started.
