As chair of the Poverty and Homelessness Caucus, I’ve seen firsthand how high costs prevent people from getting the care they need. As your state representative, I’m committed to expanding coverage, reducing costs and breaking down systemic barriers.
I am proud to see the Maternal Health Equity Package, (House Bills 4728, 5166-5173) signed into law. This package will reduce preventable deaths and improve maternal and infant health outcomes for Michigan families.
I owe a special thank you and shout out to State Representative Julie M. Rogers for all of her hard work seeing this package through to the Governor's desk!

Yesterday, I honored the remarkable H. Bill Maxey on his 90th birthday with a special tribute on the House floor and a celebration recognizing his lifelong service. I’m grateful for the opportunity to celebrate a true leader and advocate!

It’s Black History Month! Time to celebrate, learn, reflect and honor the contributions of Black leaders, artists, activists, and everyday heroes who have shaped our state and nation.

That's awesome 👍
Thank you State Representative Brenda Carter for honoring Mr. Maxie in such a grand fashion!
In celebration of Black History Month, I had the distinction of sponsoring more bills into law than any other legislator from my city, with a total of thirteen.
Today, HB5170 was ceremonially signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer. House Bill 5170, enacted as Public Act 247 of 2024 in Michigan, mandates that health insurance policies provide coverage for mental health screenings during the postpartum period.
This legislation aims to ensure that new mothers have access to essential mental health evaluations following childbirth.

And still nothing done on ANF as promised.
State Representative Brenda Carter, What about these postpartum moms if they are catastrophically injured? SB 530, 531 & 575 are going to be needed prior to a health screening! Keep your promise Rep. Carter, get those bills to the table - 27K other catastrophically injured Michiganders are in crisis!
