I hit the ground running! Today I introduced my first bill of the term, House Bill 4005 to end emergency management in Michigan.
Coming from the Pontiac School Board, I know firsthand the damage emergency managers cause to communities. These unelected individuals come into impoverished communities and completely supersede the elected body. As was the case with the Pontiac School Board, they came in and sold off assets worth millions for pennies on the dollar—all in the name of saving money. It is high time that we took this law off the books!

You go girl.
Thank you!
Our first day of session is in the books! Today we officially voted on our next House Speaker, Matt Hall, and a series of resolutions. It was wonderful to see my old friend, Justice Kyra Harris Bolden, who ceremoniously swore me in. Thank you to my husband Randy and brothers Kenneth Canty (left) and John Canty Jr. (right) for joining me at the Rostrum!

Great news! EGLE has announced $20 million in grants made possible through this year's budget. Oakland County's project for $500,000 will address lead exposure risks in older homes within disproportionately impacted communities like Pontiac, Hazel Park, and Farmington. The initiative will strengthen collaboration between health and housing departments, fund lead abatement efforts, and provide grants or loans for home repairs through the Home Improvement Program. This project seeks to reduce lead related health disparities in vulnerable populations particularly children under six.

Sure didn't put the people of Michigan first when you let bills *********** die, let insurance companies get away with charging us more and not getting what we pay for.
This year, we’ve worked to create a stronger, more equitable future for all Michiganders. From expanding opportunities to protecting essential rights, I’m committed to continuing the fight for policies that put people first.

HB 6099-6104 and HB 6106 addressed complex insurance issues. Initially, none of those involved, myself included, had a deep understanding of insurance captives. However, through collaboration and learning, we navigated the complexities, culminating in the overwhelming passage of this legislative package by Michigan's House of Representatives.
This journey exemplifies the adage, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." It also highlights the importance of unity and diversity in achieving meaningful goals for the people of Michigan. Thank you, NCOIL.
