Mai is an independent voice for all families
Hi Neighbor! Welcome to my online space. My name is Mai and I am currently serving my second term on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners, District 11-Warren. It would be an honor for me to continue working for you as your new Warren City Clerk. I humbly ask for your vote and support in the upcoming election on August 8, 2023. I will continue to work tirelessly to earn your trust and confidence. Together, we will create a community that we can all be proud of.
My name is Mai Xiong [pronounced: My Song] and I am married to my best friend, Adam Kue, a graduate of Fitzgerald High School. We married in 2010 and chose to start our family in Warren. As lifelong residents and homeowners, we know that Warren is the best place to raise our four children. Our children currently attend Warren Consolidated Schools.
I am running to become your next Warren City Clerk. I want to give back to the community that has given our family so much. I will work to improve our city and make it an even better place to live by ensuring that every resident has a voice in the decision-making process.
In my current role as Commissioner, I successfully secured funding to support our senior citizens, veterans, individuals with disabilities and worked to protect public transportation systems and funding for our first-responders.
As your City Clerk, I will work to make sure that our elections are conducted safely, securely and that the process is transparent.
I will streamline and modernize the city’s record-keeping system by implementing an agenda and meeting management software that provides residents with easy access to public records.
I will work collaboratively with other elected officials and residents to build a more just and equitable system that supports everyone.
