About Vanessa

---

Vanessa Guerra is serving in her first term as the Saginaw County Clerk. Prior to serving at the

county level, she served for six years as State Representative to Michigan’s 95th House District

which encompasses nine communities within Saginaw County.

While in the state house Vanessa was passionate about protecting our democracy by

introducing and supporting legislation that increased transparency and accountability for all

levels of government, ensured everyone had equal access to their vital records and fought to

protect voter access to the ballot box no matter where one lives. Vanessa brings that same

energy and passion for civic education to the county level where she now helps to oversee

elections, commissioner meetings, vital records requests and access to circuit court records.

Vanessa is a proud graduate of Bridgeport Spaulding High School and went on to earn her

undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan where she double majored in political

science and Latino studies. Vanessa is also a licensed attorney having earned her law degree

from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law. She lives in the City of Saginaw with her

husband Rob and their three fur babies.
