Absolute legends, our library.

I had fun joining the University of Michigan College Democrats for their first meeting of the year! Sharing the joy of my campaign announcement news with such an energetic group made for an incredible evening. We cannot do this good work without our young leaders!

Excited to see that @aidansova.bsky.social is running for council! I think Aidan will continue the work that Dharma championed, like work to address our housing/affordability crisis and improvements to our non motorized transportation system.

I believe in a better Ann Arbor — a better tomorrow for all of us. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

This is good and exciting news for #a2Council. Aidan is smart, a dedicated public servant in his role on the @aadl.org board, and cares a whole lot about Ann Arbor. Let's get this decent and genuine person elected to serve Ward 4!

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Lt. Gov. @garlingilchrist.bsky.social. I have long respected his transformative work for the State of Michigan, and I’m deeply grateful for our relationship and his faith in my vision for Ann Arbor’s Fourth Ward. secure.actblue.com/donate/sova2...

I am incredibly honored to receive the endorsement of Dharma Akmon and deeply grateful for her support. It’s an exciting time as we all work together toward a bright, affordable, and community-focused era for Ann Arbor.

I'm really excited that @aidansova.bsky.social announced his candidacy for the Ann Arbor City Council. He'll be great. Too bad I got redistricted out of Ward 4, or I'd be thrilled to vote for him. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

aidan's great, #a2council would be lucky to have him

You love to see it. #a2Council

I am running for #A2Council in the Fourth Ward! Please support our people-powered campaign and help us lead Ann Arbor forward. secure.actblue.com/donate/sova2...

Congratulations to @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social and team in the launch of her new campaign headquarters in Detroit!

I’m a public servant, an entrepreneur, a dad, a husband, and an engineer who spent a lot of my life making the government actually work for people. I’m not done with that, not by a long shot Today, I am declaring my candidacy for Secretary of State of Michigan.

Early last year, Ena and I bought a house in Ann Arbor! It’s been a joy to connect with our kind neighbors, relax at Esch Park, and live just a short walk from our favorite small businesses. We could not be more grateful.

In my role as Trustee, I hosted Ann Arbor Cub Scouts Pack 5 at the Library to show them how our community works together. On the tour, I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids!

Senator Sue Shink is a personal friend, outstanding public servant, and just the leader Michigan needs. It’s special to support her re-election campaign at the home of family very dear to us. The Laverys' warmth and commitment to community make them the perfect hosts. Please consider joining us!

We’re closing out our winter break at Jefferson Market! These unique spaces, which blend neighborhoods with local business, help keep Ann Arbor the special place it is.

Discarding these archives stifles national innovation and permanently destroys the institutional memory of our greatest achievements. Simply, libraries are good. And important.

Happy New Year from downtown Ann Arbor!

Ena and I are still floating after our wedding in Ann Arbor! There was nothing more special than bringing our favorite people together in the city where our story grew. We will treasure these memories for a lifetime.

Happy holidays, everyone! Ena and I have cherished this season spent with our friends, family, and community. As we take this time to rest and recharge, we’re heading into the new year with so much excitement for what’s ahead.

During the Nassar crisis, I worked alongside other student leaders to support the survivors of his evil. I witnessed the testimonies of these young women firsthand. I can still picture their faces. May all affiliated with this web of depravity answer for the lives they destroyed.

I had fun joining friends and patrons at the @aadl.org for the Jane Austen 250th birthday celebration. It’s clear that our expansive programming and public resources improve the quality of life for many in Ann Arbor. Perhaps the next Jane Austen was inspired by the Library today!

I always look forward to the @aadl.org Tiny Expo! This year, we’re hosting over 75 local artists and crafters, making it the perfect spot to find unique gifts for the holiday season. There’s still time to stop by and support some of Ann Arbor’s most creative!

Last night, the Washtenaw County Democratic Party held the inaugural John D. Dingell dinner. Here, in the halls of our local and dedicated union groups, these moments of connection remind me that our shared action is the truest form of resilience. We are stronger together!

Today, I joined @moreneighborsa2.org at @aadl.org to pack lunches for the Food Gatherers. With so many facing hardship this holiday season, it is our collective duty to step up and make sure everyone in Ann Arbor has the support they need.

I had a blast at Ann Arbor’s annual Midnight Madness event! It was a joy to catch up with friends, shop at some of our favorite local businesses, and kick off the holiday season with the whole community.

Supporting the public arts has never looked so festive! ⛄️

We had a great night supporting Christina Hines for Congress in MI-10! As a prosecuting attorney in Washtenaw County, she protected our most vulnerable and worked to hold powerful interests accountable. Michigan, let’s send her to Washington!

Today was meaningful. Witnessing this history allows us to trace the origins of injustice and oppression. Honoring the past can equip us with the moral clarity and necessary knowledge to advocate for social justice today. We must do better. #A2Council

Ena and I joined Michigan Democratic leaders in Detroit to watch some football and hear from Kentucky’s Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social. To answer the question on everyone’s mind — yes, he is rooting for the Lions today!

Go Blue! 💛💙

In 2020, I got a call from Jacob Inosencio with an idea — an initiative to combat local food insecurity and improve sustainability efforts. Five years later, this idea has blossomed into a nonprofit that meaningfully expanded food access for an entire community. I'm proud of us.

Woot! The Draft Ann Arbor Comprehensive Land Use Plan will now enter the requisite 63-day plan review. #A2Council engage.a2gov.org/comprehensiv...

Introducing… Mr. and Mrs. Sova!

I am so proud that my Alma Mater has rejected the White House's preferential funding compact — instead choosing to prioritize its core mission and academic freedom over financial incentives. These choices continue to be important.

Beautiful to see such a diverse group of voices sharing why they love Ann Arbor and believe in building a more welcoming, sustainable, and connected city. These talks capture the best of who we can be together. #a2council www.youtube.com/@MoreNeighbo...

Check out Aidan's talk and many more at our new YouTube channel. youtube.com/@moreneighbo...

I had so much fun joining @moreneighborsa2.org to talk about growth trends in Michigan. Young people are prioritizing attractive places, accessible housing, and ease of transportation. It's encouraging to see a grassroots effort emerge in Ann Arbor to prioritize these needs and take hold! #A2Council

It’s gonna be a fun day at the Downtown Library! Join us for Dead Media Day from 11-3 Sunday and enjoy the vintage arcade. No tokens required!

Less than one week left until the big day! We're immensely grateful to our friends, family, and community for celebrating our wedding season with us. A special thank you to Governor Whitmer for recognizing our union with this kind letter.

This is our plan in Ann Arbor: aadl.org/newdowntown. Voters in Ann Arbor this summer approved, by a 2-to-1 margin, an innovative approach to develop a new downtown library branch that will include both market-rate and affordable housing. #a2council

I was very satisfied with AADL when I first started using it, but it just keeps getting better. 🚀

Justin Onwenu is the clear choice for State Senate, bringing a fresh, dedicated voice ready to fight for Detroit and Downriver communities. His commitment to economic justice, environmental health, and quality education makes him the effective leader Michigan needs. I’m proud to support!

Cool development from my hometown

Truly the best place ever to have cut my teeth as a local elected. Libraries serve the public in so many ways because of course institutions of learning are institutions of DOING. Thank you, @aadl.org!

Local journalism is a type of civic infrastructure that powers an informed democracy. The Library is uniquely positioned to safeguard this news source, ensuring it remains an accessible public good for all residents. Read more on MLive, #A2Council: www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

We are very lucky to have you as our library director! 👏🏾

The prospective Ann Arbor Observer acquisition is a perfect fit, aligning local journalism with the Library’s mission to foster an informed public. This effort will represent yet another addition to the Library’s suite of community-centered solutions for Ann Arbor! #A2Council

I gathered some friends to join me in support of SOS Community Services. We left inspired by those fighting to provide shelter and housing security in Washtenaw County. This new generation recognizes that housing is a fundamental necessity. We must continue to prioritize this important work!
