I enjoyed visiting the Traverse City Child and Adolescent Health Center at the Career Tech Center in Traverse City to learn more about how they are providing health care for students across the region as part of the School-Community Health Alliance of Michigan. Now more than ever, we must support those who help set up our kids for success. Our future is only as bright as the tools we give the next generation, and I want to see our state thrive for decades to come. ... See MoreSee Less

Last week, I was joined by leaders of the Michigan cherry industry and Tessa Nico, the 2024-25 National Cherry Queen, on the House Floor to celebrate Cherry Industry Day. This day is about honoring the legacy of hard work that makes our region known as the Cherry Capital of the World. We cannot take this industry for granted, especially with unpredictable weather changes drastically impacting harvests. I support this vital industry and will continue to find ways to help our local farmers and agriculture workers wherever we can. ... See MoreSee Less
