Proud to have advocated for Ladder Truck #109 for Highland Park and Mayor Yopp in 2021… Mayor Yopp was incredibly proud of this accomplisment for his city. I was honored that he added a plaque to the truck recognizing me for acquiring this for his community.

Sorry to hear of the loss of former Highland Park Mayor Yopp…when I was first elected to the state house (2021) I served Highland Park in HD7…I was happy to secure for them a much needed state of the art firetruck and Mayor Yopp was extremely grateful for the addition of the fire truck to his city. Mayor Yopp loved Highland Park with his whole heart…he will be missed. May he rest in peace🙏🏾

Yesterday I joined with the Progressive Women’s Caucus to introduce a 10 bill package aimed at creating pay equity for women and all workers in our state.
In Michigan for every $1 earned by men, women earn only 84 cents. But, for women of color the disparity is an even wider pay gap. Black women earn only 69 cents of what men make in this state. My bill provides accountability to employers allowing them to obtain a work place Pay Equity Certificate when they meet the criteria of pay equity with all workers in their employment.

I love representing HD8 in the state house…the best part of my job is creating laws that make the lives of Michiganders better. Last week I introduced a bill that prevents employers from using your credit score negatively against you during the hiring practice. #hd8strong

Love this! 313!
March is Reading Month! I enjoyed reading yesterday at Bagley Elementary School…I visited the 3rd grade class of Ms. Chatman and read the book Peter Pan. I also joined Principal Frosh for Pancakes with the Principal. I had an enjoyable time spending the morning with the children. #readingisfundamental
