Did you know October 8th is Latina Women Equal Pay Day✊? This date raises awareness of systemic pay discrimination, occupational segregation, and the economic burdens placed on Latina workers.

When one of us rises, we all rise. Let's continue to advocate for fair pay, transparency, and economic power for Latinas everywhere!

¿Sabías que el 8 de octubre es Día de la Igualdad para las Mujeres Latinas? El día de hoy genera conciencia sobre la discriminación salarial sistémico, segregación ocupacional y cargas económicas impuestas a las mujeres trabajadoras.

Cuando una de nosotras se levanta, todas nos levantamos. Hay que seguir exigiendo por salarios justos, transparencia, y poder económico para Latinas en todas partes! ... See MoreSee Less

Happy Fall 🍂, District 10!

September marked a return to increased activity in the District and soon in Lansing. Here’s a peek into what’s been happening in my office over the past month as we gear up for year-end activity.

But first, say “Hello” to our new office intern Elyse. She’ll be handling a lot of my social media and learning the office ropes! Welcome, Elyse!

Here’s a quick recap of September (going forward, our plan is to report biweekly).

Meetings over the past month included discussions with:
*League of Michigan Bicyclists and SEMCOG (Southeast Michigan Council of Governments) about e-bikes and e-motos;
*Michigan Association of School Psychologists regarding access to mental health services in schools;
*A credit union fraud investigator regarding cryptocurrency kiosks and senior scams, and specifically about my and Rep. Reggie Miller’s @reggiemillermi House Bills 6222 and 6223, which aim to regulate these kiosks.
*I also toured the Helm Wilson Day Center, designed for senior residents of the Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods who live with cognitive decline and various forms of dementia. They also offer support services for patients’ caregivers.
*I attended the Detroit Caucus Property Tax and Lunch and Learn. Our Caucus has been – and will continue – strategizing how we can bring property tax relief to our constituents.

Events I attended included:
*The annual 9/11 memorial ceremony at AmVets Post 57 in Harper Woods, which features a permanent outdoor monument built with a certified steel I-beam from the World Trade Center. Also present were the city’s Director of Public Safety and Chief of our Firefighters.
*I was honored to speak at the City of Warren’s First Annual Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration. Being the only Latino/a/e in the State House legislature, and having lived in Warren during my elementary school years, this was particularly meaningful to me, and I hope it was to all who attended. It was a fun celebration with dancers, vendors, music, and good food! It was also a pleasure to talk with former State Representative and now Warren Mayor Lori M. Stone and a representative from the Mexican Consul’s office.

As Minority Vice-Chair of the Agriculture Committee and a potato lover, I want to share Michigan potato facts and recognize our potato farmers before September ends. Potatoes are one of the most vital crops grown in our state🥔. With National Potato Month wrapping up, I hope everyone in HD-10 enjoyed some great local potato products this month! ... See MoreSee Less
