A BrighterFuture for Michigan.
Hi, I'm Sarah Pounds
I am proud to call Lake Orion home. My husband and I have built our lives here, raising our four beautiful daughters in a community we deeply love. Like so many in our district, my husband works in the auto industry – an industry that’s often unpredictable – and we never take for granted the importance of having a good, stable job.
Professionally, I’ve spent my career working in construction litigation and community development. I serve on several Oakland County boards and proudly chair a nonprofit that tackles the housing crisis here in our community. Through these roles, I’ve worked directly on the issues that matter most to families across our district – jobs and economic opportunity, education and attainable housing.
I’m running for State Representative because I believe our community deserves leadership that listens, shows up and delivers results. I believe in building a Michigan where every family has the opportunity to succeed, where every child has access to a strong education, and where working families can afford to live and thrive.
I’m ready to bring my experience, my energy, and my deep commitment to our community to Lansing. Together, we can build a stronger, brighter future for Michigan.
Policy Priorities
I am committed to working across the aisle to invest in our workforce, protect and strengthen public education, ensure our working families have a pathway to home ownership in the communities they love, and bring real transparency to our political system. Together, we can put people over politics and build a brighter future for every Michigander.
