House Republicans are stripping funding for critical programs to keep Michiganders fed, to increase infant health, and to help kids with cancer. House Democrats won’t stop fighting to stop their heartless actions and bring you a better life.

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.

I joined my colleagues to introduce a Tenant Package that will make landlord-tenant laws more fair and enforceable. My bill HB4983 will extend the redemption period that a tenant can comply with a court judgment from 7 days to 14 days giving tenants breathing room when dealing with court proceedings
