I’m committed to making housing more affordable for folks on a fixed income — that way you can stay in the comfort of your home and community. That means supporting policies that keep rent stable, expand property tax relief and invest in safe, accessible housing options that allow you to age with dignity and security.

I take protecting older Michiganders seriously. Financial exploitation costs victims nearly $3 billion every year. That’s why I supported strengthening Michigan’s financial exploitation laws. Now, financial advisors can step in and delay suspicious transactions if they believe an older resident is being deceived, giving you more peace of mind and helping keep you safe.

When House Dems were in charge, we voted to phase out taxes on most retirement income. I fought to continue this relief in the subsequent budgets, putting up to $1,000 back into the pockets of nearly half a million households. For older adults living on a fixed income, this provides real relief and much-needed financial breathing room.

It was an honor to put forth a resolution to memorialize the life and legacy of Frederick Durhal Jr., a former state representative from Detroit who believed public service was fundamentally about people and lived that value every day. Let us remember a man who was as dedicated to the people he served as much as he was to the city he loved.

On the federal and local levels, Republicans’ poor decisions and out-of-touch strategies have made gas prices skyrocket and now they want to make Michigan more dependent on foreign energy, which will increase costs even more. Enough is enough.

There are valid concerns with data centers in our communities. Noise is one of the most immediate and tangible quality-of-life impacts our neighborhoods experience from data center development, and it’s one of the least regulated. My bill in the Data Center Guardrail package addresses that gap by ensuring those impacts are measured, reported and considered before construction begins.
