Hello. I'm Carey Torrice. Thank you for visiting my official website!

MESSAGE FROM CAREY

I just began an exciting new project with some wonderful people. I will use the exposure from this project to help bring attention to the many worthwhile charities and humanitarian organizations that are in need of support. I believe that as a public servant, it is my duty to use whatever means I have available to me to help our society. This project will help me get that job done.

****ALL MEDIA REQUESTS: As much as I would like to respond to your requests for information, at this time I am not able to discuss the scope of this project. My representatives will publish a media release as soon as they are able to do so. Thank you for your understanding.

 
Since this website was created, it has received over TWO MILLION hits!!! I am glad that so many of you want to learn more about me and the things that I stand for. It is truly an honor to serve you. You will notice that this website design and content is much different than other elected officials. I have chosen to adopt a fun, fresh, exciting image. Not only do I show my political side of life, but I have also chosen to show my non-political side as well.

As an elected official I feel that this is a more effective approach in bringing an interest to the political arena.  I am hoping that the design will influence younger voters to become more involved, while also keeping experienced voters well informed on local issues.  Please browse my site keeping in mind that you have elected me to my position and I work for you.  If you have any questions, comments or concerns, you can contact me at any time.


I am always open to new ideas and fresh perspectives. If you would like to meet me in person, please attend one of the meetings or events indicated on this site calendar. I am also available to speak at any event you may have. Thank you for your support!


I will explain a little bit about myself and why I ran for Macomb County Commissioner.

I have been a resident of Macomb County my whole life. I graduated from Chippewa Valley High School. I also have a degree from Macomb Community College. I have a very supportive family, whose morals, religious and political views have shaped my ambitions to be active in community events. My Wonderful husband is a Macomb County business owner. My Father USMC Sergeant Larry DeJaeghere was a Vietnam Veteran. He was laid to rest in 2005 at Arlington National Cemetery. My Mother was a spokesperson and survivor for Ovarian Cancer awareness for over 20 years. She passed away in 2007, but has inspired me to carry on her message. My father-in-law has been a doctor in Macomb County for almost 40 years. My mother-in-law is a public schools teacher.


I continue to be involved in the community by putting together Ovarian Cancer fundraisers, and frequenting local events and charities. I have enhanced Macomb County's presence by introducing celebrities and famous political figures. I fight for what I believe in. I ran for office when I had trouble with the system trying to bury my Father in Arlington National Cemetery. He always believed I would make a change. He used to tell me I brightened up people’s lives and made them believe again. My Mother always taught me to “Believe in Yourself” so here I am ready to work for you.

Many people are confused as to what a County Commissioner actually does. A County Commissioner controls the budget, but has only limited authority to make laws or ordinances. In Michigan, most local government functions — police, fire, building and zoning, tax assessment, street maintenance, etc. — are the responsibility of individual cities and townships. So, in a nut shell, a County Commissioner decides how your hard earned tax dollars are spent. The Macomb County Board of Commissioners consists of 26 seats, with each commissioner representing a geographic district.

Please contact me if you have any comments or suggestions on how to better the community we reside in. I look forward to talking with you directly. With your suggestions and support, together we can make Macomb County a wonderful place to live.
