Young professionals in the homebuilding space joined us last week in Lansing to discuss how we can work together to address housing. It was great to join Rep. Tate, Rep. Fairburn, and Majority Floor Leader Posthumus as we talked about the issues facing us in housing. 🏡
From zoning reform to smarter density, we need to break down outdated barriers that are driving up costs and holding back development in communities across the state. I’ll keep pushing for policies that make housing more accessible, more inclusive, and more future-focused—for every Michigander.

I had the honor of attending the 20th Anniversary YEO National Convening in Washington, D.C., a powerful gathering of young elected leaders from across the country.
From public safety and equity workshops to urgent conversations about defending democracy, it was a powerful reminder that our fight for justice and freedom is far from over.
I’m grateful to stand alongside leaders who are committed to shaping a brighter, more just future.

My office was able to deliver the invocation in the house chambers last week. It was an honor to be joined by Rev. Gholston from First Community AME in Grand Rapids.
The work we do in the legislature touches the lives of all 10 million Michiganders and oftentimes even beyond that. Prayer for wisdom, guidance and justice are always needed!

The Committee to Honor Cesar Chavez’s Cinco de Mayo celebration is an amazing celebration honoring the legacy of César Chávez and celebrating the strength, culture, and contributions of West Michigan’s Latino community.
Huge thank you to Lupe Ramos and the entire committee who hosts this labor of love each year!

Last week, I welcomed @gewhitmer to the 82nd to learn more about Mel Trotter’s Hope Village project 🏡💬
These new builds—led by Mel Trotter Ministries and Next Step of West Michigan—will be affordable housing for neighbors who have experienced homelessness. This will be Grand Rapids’ first tiny home community, and a powerful example of what’s possible when we focus on dignity and innovation in housing.💛

Last year I visited @ayayouthcollective with the attorney general to learn more about their work. At that visit they highlighted the lack of funding for homeless teens and the huge barrier it’s been to keeping kids off the street. I knew I wanted to help.
Fast forward to this week I had the honor of joining AYA Youth Collective to celebrate the groundbreaking of their first-ever home build — a major milestone in the fight against youth homelessness.
When it’s finished in about six months, this house will give five young people a safe, stable place to call home.
Grateful for the work AYA is doing to create real opportunities and a stronger future for our community. Proud to stand with them as they continue making hope a reality.
