A lifelong resident of Royal Oak, Marie Donigan worked as a landscape architect in private practice for several years before joining the City of Farmington Hills Department of Planning and Community Development. She was first elected as a Royal Oak City Commissioner in 1997. She was serving her second term when she was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2004. From 2000 to 2003, Marie co-chaired the Royal Oak Area Democratic Club, building the club from just a few members to many dozens in order to fight for progressive causes.
The chief focus of her work has been improving the quality of life for all Michigan residents, particularly in the areas of education, health care, public transit and the economy. She initiated a bipartisan Public Transit Legislative Caucus to move Michigan forward in our effort to improve public transportation and economic development, especially in southeastern Michigan.
Marie is married to Kevin McLogan, another lifelong Royal Oak resident and current Royal Oak School Board President. She also enjoys the company of her two stepsons, and her niece and nephew.
