There are valid concerns with data centers in our communities. Noise is one of the most immediate and tangible quality-of-life impacts our neighborhoods experience from data center development, and it’s one of the least regulated. My bill in the Data Center Guardrail package addresses that gap by ensuring those impacts are measured, reported and considered before construction begins.

I am fighting the affordability crisis from all directions, including lowering rising energy costs through grid diversification. Michigan House Democrats are doing the work to move Michigan towards energy independence and away from reliance on foreign entities. We know security and investment in our communities start at home.

Juneteenth is a reminder that progress takes work and time. I was honored to sponsor legislation, now a law, recognizing Juneteenth every year in our state so that we do not forget the hardships and realities of the past. But freedom isn't just about the past; it's about protecting our rights today. That's why the Michigan Voting Rights Act matters: it’s the next step in the fight to make sure every voice is heard.

As we approach Juneteenth this year, I look back and have a great sense of pride that this legislation was signed into law by Gov Whitmer!Today, we celebrate Juneteenth! Governor Whitmer signed into law my Negro League Baseball Day legislation to be celebrated on May 2nd annually in the state of Michigan.
On this day let us all remember the horrific stain of slavery in the United States. Let’s also honor the legacy of June 19th by committing to continue the fight for equity and justice and reparations for all of our communities.
“Thank You” Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist for joining me and Rep Aiyash for this historic bill signing in his Hamtramck district to celebrate Juneteenth at the Hamtramck Stadium, which was home of the Detroit Stars, and one of last remaining Negro League Stadiums in the country 🇺🇸

House Republicans prevented my colleague Representative Jason Morgan from reading his Pride Month resolution on the House Floor. I joined him and other Michigan House Democrats to read it anyway because representation in government matters. I won't stand idly by as Michiganders voices are silenced.
