Meet Denise Mentzer

Denise's Family

A family tradition of public service

 I'm Denise Mentzer. I grew up right here in Clinton Township and graduated from L'Anse Creuse High. My father retired as a Detective Lieutenant from the Macomb County Sheriff's Department after 34 years of service. He has influenced many members of our family to serve in law enforcement.  I earned a degree in Business Administration from Baker College while working full-time and taking classes at night. In 2011, I purchased a home in Mount Clemens and became interested in City issues. In 2013 I was elected to serve on the Mount Clemens City Commission and have served for nearly 10 years.  
 

A decade of service to the community

 My 10 years of experience on the Mount Clemens City commission has offered valuable lessons. I have experience with municipal budgets, taxes, enterprise funds, and special assessments. I have learned when to compromise and when to stand up and hold my ground. I have learned to listen. I’m known for doing my homework on any issue that comes before the commission.  I pushed for quarterly departmental reports to be made at City Commission meetings to improve transparency.

My involvement

  • Vice President of the Mount Clemens Optimist Club where everything we do brings out the best in kids.
  • Member,  Board of the Friends of the Mount Clemens Public Library. 
  • Officer with the Macomb County Democratic Committee
  • Member, Clinton Township Democratic Club
  • I was awarded a certificate of appreciation from Amvets Post 29 for supplying goods for their annual homeless veteran initiative.
