Michigan showed up on Capitol Hill!

MDA leadership, member dentists, and dental students from across the state came together in Washington, D.C. for Lobby Day—connecting with federal legislators and their teams to advocate for the future of dentistry and the patients we serve.

From conversations with Rep. Tom Barrett (R-Lansing, MI-7), Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Detroit, MI-13), Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-Bay City, MI-8), and Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Zeeland, MI-4), to gathering on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, our members made one thing clear: Michigan dentistry has a strong, united voice.

Advocacy in action. Presence that matters. A stronger future for dentistry.
