Kevin Hertel is an incumbent running for re-election to the Michigan House of Representatives in the 18th District. Hertel has a degree in political science from Michigan State University and while in college, co-created a coalition from Michigan’s 15 public universities to advocate for lower cost higher education. Later he became an intern for State Senator Deb Cherry, and after settling in St. Clair Shores he became a member of the St. Clair Shores Waterfront Environmental Committee and enjoys volunteering with the Macomb County Special Olympics.
Hertel’s main priorities are to ensure infrastructure is up to code to keep the environment protected, increase access to early education, and lower the cost of public universities and community colleges through government funding. He also wants to improve programs for mental health care, substance abuse programs and programs for youth offenders to decrease prison sizes, abolish the retirement tax on our seniors, and improve the roads.
Hertel is endorsed by eight of our partner organizations including Michigan Education Association, American Federation of Teachers, Michigan AFL-CIO, Clean Water Action, Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, and Between the Lines.
Hertel is running against Michael Babat. While we didn't see endorsements for Babat from organizations that concern us, they also don't have the support of any of our partner organizations and therefore we cannot recommend them.
Hertel is the most progressive choice in this race.
