Everyone deserves access to healthy, affordable meals. Check out these local food resources offering free or low-cost groceries and meals for families in our community. Let’s make sure no neighbor goes hungry.

I’m excited to announce that this data center will create more than 450+ on-site jobs and 2,500 union construction jobs in Southeast Michigan, as a result of the legislation we passed to bring this technology to our state.

On Nov. 1, SNAP benefits will be paused due to the federal gov. shutdown. To help combat the increased need placed on local food banks, I'm introducing a food tax credit program for farmers, commercial grocers & processors who donate. Together, we can keep our neighbors fed.

It takes teamwork to tackle hunger. Thank you to the organizers and volunteers at Make Food Not Waste for providing access to thousands of fresh and healthy meals for our most vulnerable residents!

For nearly 95 years, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has connected Downtown Detroit and Downtown Windsor, strengthening our lasting partnership with Ontario, Canada. I was honored to introduce House Resolution 197 to commemorate the 95th anniversary of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel!

This year, disabled women are facing massive cuts to employment programs and services and even our ability to track those cuts is being blocked. When data disappears, so do stories. That’s why #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay matters more than ever.

It was great to be back in East Lansing sharing my MSU experience on the Black and Broad alumni panel.

Just 6 days remain before a potential government shutdown. If we cannot reach a deal before September 30th, everyday services could face major interruptions. From State Parks to health programs and the workers involved going unpaid. Time is running out.

Thank you to the leaders of HUDA for the tour of their clinic. HUDA is one of Michigan's most active free clinics, providing health care for families across Metro Detroit

On this day, we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and honor the bravery of all first responders who ran toward danger. Today, we also thank our local firefighters, EMTs and police officers who continue that legacy of service and sacrifice here at home.

Labor Day reminds us that progress didn’t just happen — it was fought for. From fair hours to child labor laws, unions and workers demanded justice. We owe it to them to keep pushing forward.

Last Friday, I was honored to attend the Detroit PAL Recreation Center Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. It is great to see Detroit PAL open its first permanent headquarters in nearly 60 years in Southwest Detroit. Keep up the fantastic work!

105 years ago, the 19th Amendment moved us closer to dignity, fairness & equality. We honor the women who fought for suffrage & recommit to protecting rights under attack today. The work isn’t finished. #WomensEqualityDay

Michiganders are working harder than ever just to get by. They need leaders who will stand up for them — not slash their benefits. I am committed to passing a fair, balanced budget on time.

Yesterday, we honored the life and service of former State Representative Ed Vaughn with a memorial resolution yesterday. Their contributions to Michigan continue to inspire us as we carry forward the vision of public service.

Without a final education budget passed, schools across Michigan are operating in the dark, which means that vital support like school meals will be cut. House Democrats will always fight to support our schools, uplift our educators and help kids thrive.

Families across Michigan have depended on Head Start programs for their children’s development. This will be a significant blow to families in Detroit.

The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel is the only underwater international border crossing in the world for automobile traffic. It was great receiving a tour of this indispensable North American asset.

1 in 7 children in Michigan are food insecure, and that number is rising. My new legislation would reinstate a tax credit for donations to shelters & food banks for additional resources to those who serve the food insecure. Read more here: housedems.com/tate-introdu...
Tate Introduces Policy to Reinstate Tax Credit for Donations to Homeless Shelters, Food Banks
State Rep. Joe Tate recently introduced a bill that would amend the income tax act to allow taxpayers to claim credit for certain donations.
