23 years later, the memories are still vivid. We reflected on the lives lost during the 9/11 attacks today at the Michigan Capitol, and I was honored to have Deputy Chief Jack Johnson of the Grand Rapids Fire Department join me for the ceremony. We will never forget the lives lost that day, and all those first responders that stepped up for their country. Thank you so much for your sacrifice.

Michigan has some of the harshest sentencing guidelines in the country. What I know is there absolutely be punishment for crime, but punishment should not be harsher than needed- these are the things that make criminals vs. deter from crime. The movie Kemba is a real-life example of how the criminal justice system affects a community if policy isn't implemented thoughtfully and correctly.
Thank you for having me on the panel and I look forward to supporting reform in MI so this doesn't continue to happen!

This Labor Day, we honor the Michigan workers who built America’s middle class. You work hard for Michigan, and we’re here to work just as hard for you.

Grand Rapids is making strides in affordable housing! I love to see good policy in action. The city land bank law I wrote allows Grand Rapids and other cities to form their own land banks.
This law is only a few months old but already GR and other cities are set to acquire many properties that will serve as affordable options and revitalizing areas in need!

Yesterday the Care Can’t Wait bus tour stopped through Grand Rapids as they travel around the country sharing an important message.
The bottom line is that those who care for the people we love the most should be paid well and have job security. That goes for childcare workers, home health care workers, and everyone else in the industry.
I love the comments by Kate VanNoord Kooyman that pointed out this is a Justice issue when it comes to women’s rights (a majority of women serve in these roles), an issue of disability rights, racial justice, and economic justice. We have to do better!
Thank you to SEIU, the Care Can’t Wait team, and all the amazing care givers who joined together yesterday. Your work is beyond valuable and you deserve to not only be paid well but to be respected as a career that we all need!

Last week I spent time on Mackinac Island with home builders from every part of our state discussing how we can build more affordable housing.
I presented my package of 9 really ambitious bills that focus on local restrictions and regulations that make housing harder to build and raise the cost for our families and neighbors.
Housing that is attainable for the everyday Michigander is a top priority for me- and I’m not just talking about rental units. We have to make ownership possible again if we truly want to see Michiganders prosper. I’m ready to take on the fight!
Thank you so much to the Homebuilders Assoc for inviting me. It was great to join Director Hovey from MSHDA and our Speaker Joe Tate in these important conversations.

What happens when the staff takes over social media:
P.S did we “kill a plant” or did the plant not have what it takes to thrive in this fast-paced environment?
