Michigan House Republicans don't run immigration enforcement. Still, they want to penalize communities that don't meet their definition for fully complying with ICE - even if local practices were made to protect citizens from being wrongfully detained.

Thank you. We are honored to have your heart and talents.
Had the opportunity to hear more amazing things being done by Grand Rapids Public Schools at last night’s “State of our Schools” address.
Enrollment is up. Graduation rates are up. Teacher and driver vacancies are down. Truly a district on the rise!

Today I'm celebrating Rosa Parks. Her activism in the face of the Jim Crow South turned the tide in the Civil Rights Movement and modeled a quiet courage for all. Join me in celebrating her legacy this #RosaParksDay.

Some of my thoughts on the soon to be implemented minimum wage, tipped wage and earned stick time laws.
I stand ready for a real compromise, not what was voted by the House last week.

Thank you for your explanation of these votes. This is the kind of legislative representation I'm excited about.
“Real education means to inspire people to live more abundantly, to learn to begin with life as they find it and make it better" - Carter G. Woodson, father of Black History Month.
So many in power right now are trying to whitewash our history. They use phrases like "DEI" as pejorative and point fingers to divide us so they can escape from accountability. Now, more than ever, we need to remember the words of Dr. Woodson.
We must tell our whole story, the good and bad. Not to levy guilt or instigate division, but so we may inspire solidarity and strive towards that more perfect union, together. #BlackHistoryMonth
