June 22 2026 - Meet Marcie Grzywacz, who is running for Michigan State Senate, District 4, which includes parts of Taylor south of Goddard Road. Marcie is a proud Wayne County native who learned the values of faith, hard work and resilience from her parents -- a Vietnam veteran active in the auto industry and a mother who worked long hours in healthcare. After high school and starting a family, Marcie juggled three jobs while pursuing her college education, ultimately earning her nursing degree and dedicating herself to advocating for patients as an ICU nurse. Marcie homeschooled her children for more than a decade and led community-wide eighth-grade homeschool classrooms, where she brought creativity, classical education and compassion into the learning environment. Her commitment to education reflects her passion for empowering the next generation and building strong, confident learners. She desires to serve working families with real, hands-on leadership, experience and a servant’s heart. Deeply involved in Rockwood, Marcie serves her neighbors as Mayor Pro Tem and has helped launch local initiatives like a city Beautification Committee while acting as a liaison to the Rockwood Housing Commission. She focuses on making Rockwood a thriving, family‑centered community, grounded in listening to residents, building relationships, and taking principled action on their behalf. Outside of work and public service, Marcie is a wife and mother in a faith‑filled, working‑class family, married to a proud union member and stepmom to a wonderful daughter. Her life experience—overcoming challenges, raising children, working in critical care, and serving locally—drives her dedication to standing alongside families across Downriver and Western Wayne County.
