Alex King

Alex King is a lifelong resident of Livonia, a proud AmeriCorps alum, and member of the LGBTQIA+ community. During his AmeriCorps service, he worked on behalf of Detroit nonprofits for issues including improving public education, combatting food insecurity, and delivering disaster services in times of need.

King is an alumni of University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Xavier University in Ohio. He serves on the Livonia Human Relations Commission and is passionate about updating the non-discrimination ordinance to include LGBTQIA+ citizens. He supports more regional transit, and has advocated for building a downtown/city center at the 5 Mile and Farmington corner for over a decade, which voters will get to decide on the August 5th ballot. As a renter, King wants housing policies that encourage affordability and protect renters rights.
