Every month, I host a coffee hour at a local business to share updates from the capital.
During these coffee hours, you’ll hear about upcoming bills, have an opportunity to raise concerns, and, of course, enjoy an excellent cup of coffee.
This month’s coffee hour is on Friday, January 24th, at 11 am. The location is 5461 Schafer Rd, Dearborn.

Today, the House of Representatives unanimously voted to designate a portion of highway I-94 in Wayne County as the "Corporal Mohamed Said Memorial Highway." Corporal Said dedicated his life to serving others and protecting the city of Melvindale, which he loved so deeply. Today, and every day, we will honor Corporal Said's legacy.
