Welcome to the Prosperity Project

Every day government actions influence the quality of life for Michigan families. Through laws, regulations and court rulings, state and federal leaders make decisions that impact the ability of Michigan companies to succeed. This directly impacts you — your job, your wages, your benefits, your health care and your future.

Yet, the percentage of eligible voters who cast their ballots continues to decline election after election. We think something needs to be done.

The Michigan Prosperity Project is a non-partisan effort of Michigan’s employers and other important state and local non-profit business organizations. Throughout these pages we present information to assist you in casting your vote and becoming more involved in the electoral process. But we don’t — and won't — tell you how to vote. That decision is up to you.

Bottom line... when Michigan workers are informed and active in government and elections, our state, communities and families all benefit.
