The voices of everyday Michiganders should matter more than the size of a campaign donor's bank account. For too long, the Citizens United SCOTUS decision has opened the door for unchecked, unlimited corporate spending in our elections. This makes it harder for working people to compete with billionaires, special interests and dark money. When people feel like their vote matters less than someone else's checkbook, trust in our democracy suffers.
That's why I introduced legislation modeled after similar reforms enacted in Hawaii. See the comments for more on Hawaii’s new law. Proposals like those take meaningful steps to increase transparency, strengthen accountability and restore faith that our government answers to the people, not the highest bidder. No matter your political party, most of us agree that elections should be decided by the voters.
Michigan has an opportunity to lead by putting people first because our government should belong to the people who live here, work here and cast their ballots here.

Our multigenerational family farms and farmers are always looking for ways to give back to this community. And our multigenerational family Farms and the families who feed our region, need the community right now. Please buy local wherever possible, and do local farm contracts for your catering, your business events, and whatever else you can do too support them if you can. We are losing our family farms at an increasing rate due to climate impacts, farmers aging out in the family, not being able to take their place, tariffs and economic uncertainty, loss of federal government contracts, etc.
We need our farmers. We don’t eat without them.
If you are a member of a church or a place of worship, College or K-12 school, a business group, a nonprofit, etc. please encourage the organization you’re part of two strongly consider your catering and food purchasing practices and what that they could be adjusted to further support local Farms.

Today, I sent an open letter to the Grand Traverse County Prosecutor encouraging her office to accept Attorney General Dana Nessel’s offer to provide state resources to assist in the ongoing criminal sexual conduct investigation at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. I have made this letter public in the interest of transparency on a matter of grave public concern. The text of the letter is below:

Exciting news at Traverse Health Clinic: they now have an on-site pharmacy!
Access to quality healthcare shouldn't depend on where you live.
Recently, I visited the Traverse Health Clinic to learn more about the critical role Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) play in our community and to see their new pharmacy, the first FQHC pharmacy in the Traverse City region.
As small pharmacies face growing challenges and pharmacy deserts become a reality for more communities, I'm grateful to see local providers stepping up to make sure people can access the care and medication they need.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: everyone deserves access to quality healthcare. It is a human right, and that is why I'll keep fighting to make sure our most rural and underserved communities aren't left behind.
