Healthcare shouldn't be a luxury. It should be accessible and affordable for everyone.
Every Michigander deserves access to the medications they need and insurance coverage they can actually afford. That's why I have my boots on the ground in Lansing, fighting to lower healthcare and insurance costs for families across our state.
No one should have to choose between paying their bills and getting the care they need. And no one should suffer or lose their life because healthcare was out of reach.

Making life more affordable means tackling the costs that strain family budgets. From capping insulin costs to preventing price gouging and protecting consumers with medical debt, I am out there fighting for you every day!

Happy Freedom Day!
Juneteenth is a day to reflect on where we've been and how far we've come. Today, I think about the generations who came before us and the doors they opened through their courage and sacrifice. I also think about the generations who will come after us and hope they see the progress we made while continuing the journey forward.
Today, we honor the legacy of our ancestors and celebrate the freedom they fought for.
Happy Juneteenth to you and your family!

It is time for Michigan to pass the American Freedmen Affairs Act!
I am proud to have introduced legislation as part of this package to help deliver long-overdue reparative justice. This effort is about acknowledging historical inequities and taking meaningful action to create opportunities for future generations.
I look forward to working with my colleagues to move this important legislation forward.

You all know I'm passionate about insurance, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I spoke in favor of a package of bills to update MI's credit union laws, allowing them to choose their insurance model. This would give them greater flexibility in how they operate and serve their members. As one of the sponsors of this legislation, I'm happy to say it was unanimously passed!

My boots are on the ground representing you!
Today I was proud to be joined by Greg Anderson with Goodwill Flip the Script. Flip the Script is an amazing program that supports those ages 16-39 with resources such as job placement and GED preparation to help reduce recidivism rates. In fact, according to Goodwill, for every $3 million invested, it saves the State of Michigan $16 million!
Programs like Flip the Script change lives, strengthen communities, and save taxpayer dollars. I'll continue advocating for its funding as the budget process moves forward, with a decision expected by October.
