Housing: ““When COVID-19 struck our community Sue saved lives. Sue sprang into action to make sure residents had everything they needed to stay safe, working with me and others to get supplies to the most vulnerable residents in the township. She even spent her own money buying hand sanitizer, bottling it and delivering it to residents in Section 8 housing. Then she worked hard to get testing and vaccination to everyone.” — Brenda McKinney, Superior Township Treasurer SUE HAS OUR BACK & WE HAVE HERS”
