Let’s cut through the noise: Members of the GOP and some media voices are spreading fear and misinformation about Michigan’s proposed updates to Michigan’s health education standards. Please join me in putting FACTS over FEAR. Kids over politics.

What I Learned After the Levees Broke And Why It Matters in MI-35
20 years ago, I heard Katrina survivors say, “I’m just glad to be back in America.” I carry their stories with me still. We need experienced leaders who show up before crisis hits. I’m ready, pugh-michigan.com.

As Board of Ed. Pres. & Flint’s former Health Adviser, I know the chaos when politicians weaponize power. From dismantling public Ed to taking away meals to forcing CDC leaders out under anti-science pressure, GOP is harming children & communities. #ScienceMatters #KidsFirst #CDC

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Saginaw for an education roundtable with gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson. Saginaw has felt the weight of economic challenges but our community brought facts, urgency, and hope to the table.
Together, we’re raising the bar for what our children deserve.
