Margaret O'Brien for State Senate

Margaret O'Brien for State Senate Margaret O'Brien for State Senate is about real people, real results for Kalamazoo County. Like many farm youths, I spent summers detasseling corn.

As a lifelong resident of Kalamazoo County, I grew up working on dairy farms- first in Pavilion Township, then in Texas Township, with my three brothers and parents. Those summers taught me that hard work is the key to success. Working in the hot sun, for long hours in less than ideal conditions, I learned that you finish whatever job you start no matter how hard it is. I graduated Mattawan High S

chool in 1991 and went to Michigan State University. I attended MSU’s prestigious James Madison College, and paid my own way through college working two jobs while earning a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations in 1996. Returning home to Kalamazoo, I was hired at Catholic Family Services as a Crisis Worker at their ARK shelter for runaway, troubled and homeless teens. I earned promotions and eventually managed their Caring Network pregnancy support program. During this time I raised my son Tyjon and provided for him and my father who was suffering from Parkinson's disease.
