Tonight, I am voting no on a procedural vote on an appropriations deal that would re-open the government. Since July, I have been clear: to earn my vote, Republicans would have to do something to bring down the cost of health care for working and middle-class Michiganders. (1/4)

Again, I can't stress this enough: Democratic elected officials are not constantly talking about climate change and trans rights.
They are constantly talking about "kitchen table issues."
