About Michelle
personal life
Michelle Nard is a Michigander through and through. Hailing from Flint, she is no stranger to the hard-working, can-do attitude that has shaped our great state and cemented it as a place where achievement is earned in sweat. In her early days, much of that sweat was poured in competition with her siblings as she grew up the second youngest of twelve.
Aside from fourteen family members sitting down at her table nightly for dinner, her family also welcomed another guest, spirited debate. Having grown up with a devout Democratic mother and dedicated Republican father, Michelle discovered early on how important it is to hear, understand, and consider many different views. Her nights spent with her family taught her to value others for the morality of their character, and not simply the content of their arguments.
Michelle did not hoard these lessons for herself, she knew their value had to be passed to the next generation and so she became a mother herself. She now beams with pride whenever she speaks of her four children, seventeen grandchildren, and even two great grandchildren! Family is everything to Michelle Nard, and that is the reason why she will fight with conviction to make her city a great place for families of all walks of life, committing herself fully to people over politics.
Professional Career and Education
Michelle’s political career began earlier than most, leading her to Student Council in both Junior High and High School at Flint Central. Michelle also discovered a love for serving her country and community at this time when she joined her school’s Military Group. A diligent student, Michelle completed the Entrepreneurial Program at Mary Grove College, graduated from Concorde Career Institute and attended both Kaplan University and Purdue University Global, and even attended a Special Nursing Program at University of Michigan Medical Center in order to better assist her ailing son.
Michelle is currently serving her second term on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners, she is an Executive Member of SEMCOG as a Delegate, and is the Vice Chair on SEMCOG’s Traffic and Safety Task Force. Michelle is currently a member of the Regional Review Committee and also a member of MAC’s Agriculture and Tourism Committee. Michelle has been on the Beautification Commission of Warren Michigan since 2016 and serves as a member of the 8 Mile Boulevard Association, along with TIFA.
Michelle Nard is not just a political dynamo having spent her years in an echo chamber, she also knows exactly what it means to roll up her sleeves and go to work every day having over thirty-five years of experience in the business sector. This combination of politics, hard work, entrepreneurial mindset, and over two decades as a Warren resident, is the foundation for Michelle’s common-sense approach to politics and the type of experience she plans to utilize in order to make Warren a wonderful place to live, learn, and labor.

political goals
Michelle has a simple, yet effective, three-pronged plan when it comes to improving the lives of Warren’s residents. Her plan begins with economic development. Michelle wants to levy the current major businesses operating in Warren to lend aid in our development of the city; making Warren a more suitable place for operation of these businesses while benefiting the citizens with financial aid for improvement. She also wants to remove barriers for existing small businesses and new small businesses looking to gain entry to Warren’s markets, creating jobs and providing the denizens of Warren with more convenience and increased tax dollars.
Next, Michelle has a strong desire to reduce the amount of crime in Warren. Michelle’s plan is to collaborate with other jurisdiction’s and to partner with local Law Enforcement in their efforts to decrease crime and attract the best talent in Michigan. Lastly, Michelle has a strong desire to fix the roads in Warren. With over 87% of the roads in Warren having a fair to failed rating, it is high time that the city which aided in creating the Motor Capital of America be able to cruise with safety, unconcerned with vehicle damage. Michelle plans to utilize grant money, monitor roads more closely, and tap the state for some of the money promised to fix Michigan’s roads.
