Volunteer Political Campaign Treasurer
Organization Description The campaign to elect Independent candidate Philippe Cicchini for Michigan State Senate - District 9 on November 3, 2026, is focused on responsive, ethical, and effective leadership that reflects the priorities of everyday families in our community outside of the current politics that have been responsible for so many of our ongoing problems. We are a grassroots, people-powered effort that values transparency, respect, and constructive problem-solving over partisan theatrics. Through thoughtful communication, face-to-face interaction with voters in our district, and digital engagement, we aim to inform, listen, and inspire voters around issues that impact their daily lives — from education and public safety to economic opportunity and government accountability. Philippe has already qualified to appear on the November ballot. Michigan State Senate District 9 is comprised of Troy, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Utica, and parts of Oakland Township, Shelby Township, and Sterling Heights.
