Key Points:
-

- The game will be played at Jackson Field in Lansing and is free to attend.
- Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the game will begin at 7:30 p.m.

“For our democracy to survive, we need people who have diverse ideas and general disagreements to be able to exist in common spaces,” Representative Farhat said. “At a macro level, that’s what we’re hoping to do. And on a micro level, we’re hoping to have some fun and raise some money for a good charity.”
“This is not about Republicans vs. Democrats,” Representative Kunse said. “It’s a unique opportunity for public servants from across the state and across the aisle to enjoy a spirited softball game and unite in our shared commitment to making a positive impact on our communities.”
