WASHINGTON, D.C. – Michigan’s congressional delegation is getting ready for President Obama’s final State of the Union address tonight, with their invited guests.
Rep. Bill Huizenga (R) is bringing James Carmody, the Director of Police and Fire Services for the City of Wyoming to Washington for the address.
“Every day, first responders put their lives on the line to keep communities across West Michigan safe,” said Huizenga in a news release. “Law enforcement officials have an incredibly difficult job that requires them to make split second decisions. I am honored to have Chief Carmody, a leading voice for public safety in West Michigan, as my guest for the President’s State of the Union Address.”
Rep. Justin Amash (R) is honoring his alma mater, and favorite football team, by bringing University of Michigan Head Football Coach Jim Harbaugh to the address. Amash has both his bachelor’s degree and his juris doctor from University of Michigan and the University of Michigan Law School.
“I am excited and honored that Coach Harbaugh will attend the State of the Union as my guest,” said Amash in a news release. “He’s a leader and a champion who is making a difference.”
Harbaugh’s wife, Sarah, will be the guest at the State of the Union address of Rep. Debbie Dingell (D).
