Marissa Prizgint

I was born and raised in Flint, Michigan and received a Bachelor of Science in Political Science in 2004 from Central Michigan University with a concentration in Public Administration. I possess an eclectic blend of work and life experiences that make me uniquely qualified to serve my constituents, including bookkeeping, leadership development, process improvements, public speaking, customer service, data processing, and even training others how to conduct impactful meetings.

I regularly attend and participate in Board of Trustee and Planning Commission meetings and stay informed and involved on issues that directly impact Northfield Township. My decision to run for Clerk was fueled by my desire to drive political apathy, especially at the local level, from the lives of my neighbors. The Clerk?s office is best positioned to serve those goals.

As Clerk, I will make Township business not only transparent, but accessible. I will make running for office as easy as possible for anyone who wishes to serve and will continue my journey to bring my neighbors into the fold.

The two-party system has no place in local politics. The Board of Trustees should not toe party lines, but rather examine each issue individually to determine what is best for Northfield Township?s current and future residents. I am honored to run as a 3rd party candidate and grateful for the opportunity to receive a Green Party nomination in June.
