Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of stopping by the Troy Historic Village to recognize the Troy Historical Society as my July Nonprofit of the Month!
For almost 60 years, they’ve been keeping Troy’s history alive by welcoming thousands of visitors to the Historic Village and offering fun, educational programs for history lovers of all ages. Congrats to Jen Peters and the whole team on this well-earned shoutout!

Last week, I got to visit Project DIAMOnD with the Michigan Aerospace and Defense Caucus. Powered by Automation Alley, this initiative is helping Michigan manufacturers use high-tech 3D printing to boost production, strengthen our supply chains, and grow the future of advanced manufacturing right here at home. It’s amazing to see this kind of innovation happening in our own backyard!

Trump's Big Bad Bill is blowing a $1 billion hole in Michigan's budget, mostly funding for Medicaid and SNAP. Children will go without food and healthcare because of this. Meanwhile, the MI House Republicans' budget proposal completely defunds free school meals. Why does Speaker MAGA Matt Hall want our kids to go hungry?

The fight for disability rights marches on in the MI State House, where Representative Wozniak and I testified for our bills that would create less-restrictive support options for people with disabilities. I'm proud to be working across the aisle to reduce unnecessary guardianships and help people with disabilities live lives of freedom and dignity. #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityRightsAreHumanRights

Today I had the privilege of meeting Gautam Bajaj, a young resident of my district who just accepted an internship with Representative Mai Xiong. Gautam just graduated from Rochester University in New York and has a bright future ahead of him. Wishing him all the best!

Earlier this week, I had an amazing time watching several of my talented young constituents explain their remarkable research projects at Michigan State’s 15th Annual Mid-Michigan Symposium for Undergraduate Research Experiences. Their passion, intelligence, and dedication blew me away and reminded me just how bright the future is. Moments like these make me so proud to serve and deeply hopeful for what’s ahead.

It was an absolute honor to join the Bharatiya Temple in Troy for their Golden Jubilee celebration! I was especially proud to present a legislative tribute in recognition of the Temple’s extraordinary contributions and lasting legacy.
I am so proud to represent a community that so richly contributes to the cultural fabric of our state. For fifty years, this Temple has stood as a symbol of faith, resilience, and unity. It has brought people together, it has inspired, and it has served with open arms. Congratulations to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey!
