For nearly 250 years, we have stood as a beacon of liberty for the tired, the poor, the hurdled masses of the world, yearning to breathe free.
No matter who’s in charge, no matter what they do, they cannot erase that. Happy Independence Day. #July4

✂️ cut red tape

Quality education is not a one-size-fits-all investment. I’m proud to bring forward a K-12 budget plan that invests in every level of learning, from PreK and literacy support to CTE and teacher retention. Michigan House Democrats are funding a future for all kids.
