State Senator Tonya Schuitmaker has been named one of Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s legislators of the year. MADD says it wants to recognize the Lawton Republican, along with Oakland County state Representative Klint Kesto, for their efforts to fight drunk driving. Specifically, it says Schuitmaker this year introduced legislation that would allow the Secretary of State to create a MADD license plate to raise funds for the group. Kesto was honored for legislation requiring ignition locks on the cars of convicted drunk drivers. Schuitmaker says drunk driving is “a senseless crime that is 100% preventable,” adding she’s honored to receive the award.
