FEBRUARY 2, 2020- BRABEC ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENT FROM NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL WORKERS
PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI -- Felicia Brabec, candidate for State Representative in Michigan’s 55th District, announced her endorsement from the National Association of Social Workers-Michigan Chapter.
Brabec, a County Commissioner from Washtenaw’s 4th District and practicing psychologist, would be the only mental health practitioner serving in our State House in Lansing if elected in 2020. Brabec has a Masters in Clinical Social Work and said that training influences her every day as a policymaker and, or course as a psychologist.
“I am so proud to receive the endorsement of the National Association of Social Workers. Working as a high school social worker shaped who I am today and how I think about solving problems we face here in Michigan,” said Brabec. “My social work background informed my work on our Racial Equity policy here in Michigan and of course our overhaul of our Washtenaw County Mental Health.”
“On the campaign trail, it has been great to talk with social workers from all over our state about their vision for Michigan and what they would like to see a colleague lead on in Lansing. I can’t wait to get to work on increasing access to mental health care and reducing student loan debt so more young people can choose to provide care.”
Brabec is currently the longest-serving Washtenaw County Commissioner. Brabec led the effort to create and implement Washtenaw County’s first Racial Equity Policy. Having served both as Chair of the Board and Chair of Ways and Means, she worked to streamline the provision of Community Mental Health Services, create and balance the award-winning quadrennial budget, and save taxpayers millions of dollars by earning and retaining the AAA bond rating.
