I spoke in opposition to the House Resolution demanding the Secretary of State’s Office to produce the full unredacted Michigan Voter Registration file to the DOJ.The DOJ is trying to force Michigan to turn over personal information of millions of Americans that will only put voters’ privacy at risk

I attended Governor Whitmer’s bill signing opportunity to commemorate the passage of my bill the Protection Against Intimate Deepfakes Act. I have championed legislation that will regulate the unintended consequences of AI, and I am proud of the work my team and I have done to protect Michiganders.

Yesterday, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that Speaker Hall must present the nine bills that were passed last term to the Governor. I am grateful to the Court for ruling once again that House Leadership must abide by our Constitution and present these bills to Governor Whitmer.

I joined the Ingham County Commissioner’s Office to announce the $750,000 state budget funding to repair the Lake Lansing Dam. Lake Lansing receives over 300,000 visitors a year, and making these much needed repairs will allow for Michiganders to enjoy the Lake’s amenities for years to come.

Yesterday, Governor Whitmer pardoned St. John’s resident and Hmong community leader, Lue Yang, who was detained by ICE agents at his place of work in July. We are appealing to DHHS and ICE to release him and return him to his family and home here in Michigan.

It was wonderful to see my neighbor, Reverend Alice Fleming Townley deliver yesterday’s invocation on the House Floor, at the invitation of Rep. Julie Rogers. It was great to see her, and listen to her inspiring words about integrity, empathy, and collaboration amongst different groups.

I joined some of my colleagues and LGBTQ+ advocates for a Townhall discussion. It was an amazing opportunity to meet with community members and activists to discuss how the Michigan Legislature can support the LGBTQ+ community during a time of unprecedented attacks on trans and nonbinary people.

I voted for a budget that invests in people and looks out for seniors, families and kids in our communities. Major investments in Medicaid, school meals, election administration services and so much more will ensure Michigan families receive the support they need to thrive in our state.

Protecting our homes and neighborhoods starts with strong infrastructure. That’s why I testified before the Approps Subcommittee on Labor and Economic Opportunity, asking for support to repair the Lake Lansing Dam. Fixing it now will prevent flooding and protect our community for years to come.

@mihousedems.bsky.social helped moved the state one step closer to avoiding a shutdown and securing investments that are good for people and our state. I will continue working for an on-time budget that delivers for all Michiganders.

House Republicans passed HB 4160, which would effectively stop the state from adopting policies that are stricter than federal regulations. This is a blatant attempt to stop any regulations that Republicans do not agree with, even if they are legally implemented.
