Mike speaks briefly at a meet-and-greet, thanking Sonny and recounting meeting Sonny on the campaign trail a few years earlier. He says he has followed Sonny and Senator Wunstead to Indian American events, coordinated outreach to constituents (especially Sonny), and describes organizing a Senate floor "devaluing resolution" with Senator Wunstead. About 120 people attended the Lansing event; colleagues were impressed, and Mike plans to repeat a similar event around the election this year.

I got to meet Sonny on the campaign trail a couple years ago, and I've been following him and Senator Wunstead to Indian American events ever since. And they call me and they say, this is an event coming up, you know, coming up. And I follow their lead because I also have to reach out, first of all, to all my constituents, but particularly. But particularly Sonny. I know he'll do a great job. He does a great job at everything he does. And. And last but not least, I'll just talk about, you know, Sunny does everything big. And so when I got in the legislature again, followed Senator Runstead's lead, we did a devaluing resolution on the Senate floor. And, you know, Sonny said, well, we're gonna. We're gonna have a couple people come. Come up to Lansing for it. I said, well, okay, well, what do you think? How many people are gonna come? And there's about 120 people that came, and I think we're gonna have more this year. And I will say, you know, my colleagues on both side were pretty floored by it. I mean, they. They saw the interest in the. In. In us doing the resolution on the floor. Simple thing for us to do, but it means a lot to a lot of people. And so we're going to be doing that again this year. We're going to try to figure out a date around the election and. And everything like that, but we're going to do something similar this year. Really appreciate those that came up last year, and we're going to do it again this year.
