Never forget!
I voted NO on HB 4001 and HB 4002, which seek to slash wages for Michigan’s workers and strip earned sick leave protections from 96% of our workforce, making life harder for those who are already struggling to make ends meet.
HB 4002 further fails to support workers and belittles their income by excluding tips from paid leave calculations. Workers deserve fair working conditions, and that starts with giving them the paid leave amount that they earned.
I offered an amendment to include tips in paid leave calculations, but it was rejected. I will continue working toward a compromise that protects both workers and small businesses because Michigan families deserve better.

I saw your name on a post of Democratic reps who were considering supporting this bill. Glad to see that was either an error, or that you changed your mind.
Thank you for standing up for hardworking people in Michigan!
We conducted a listening tour throughout the district—visiting St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, South Haven, and Douglas—to hear directly from workers and small business owners. The message was clear: we need a balanced solution that protects both.
Unfortunately, the current Republican bills (HB 4001/2) would reduce the minimum wage and eliminate the right to earned sick leave for over 96% of workers—going beyond what even many local business owners told us they need. We remain hopeful that amendments will be adopted tomorrow to reflect the balance needed.

It’s official! Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed my bill (HB 4906) into law last Friday, expanding tax exemptions for data centers! This will help bolster economic growth and development in Michigan by attracting investment and creating jobs.

Please support HB 4001 and HB 4002!!!
It'd be nice if you were actually honest about the data centers and if you let people ask you questions about them. These centers don't create jobs, but they do wreck the environment.
As temperatures drop, community organizations have opened their doors to ensure that everyone can stay warm. Please find below a list of warming centers and shelters along the lakeshore.
