The online world is ever-changing, and it's our responsibility to pass common-sense laws that keep up. I joined my colleagues, State Representative John Fitzgerald and State Representative Kara Hope, to introduce a package of legislation to help combat the growing threat of online sexploitation. The package was named "Jordan D's Law" in honor of a local Marquette teenager who died of suicide after an online sexploitation scheme.
My bill in this package would mandate that local school districts, the Michigan Department of Education, Michigan State Police and the Michigan Department of Attorney General work together to implement educational policies on the new law. By involving our schools and law enforcement agencies, we can raise awareness and equip people with the knowledge to stay safe online.

I enjoyed chatting with engineers at the MichBio Mixer at Blackrocks Brewery and learning more about the medical devices they're designing and manufacturing in the Marquette region; what amazing and life-saving work!

I enjoyed touring the Slate River Preserve in Baraga County with the Nature Conservancy. It's incredible how much work goes into maintaining our forests, ensuring the natural resources of the UP will maintain their value for generations to come. Our townships benefit from this conservation effort through the taxes paid by the Nature Conservancy. It is a win-win for all who call our region home!

Our current supply of rental units isn't keeping up with demand. This means not only are people looking to call the U.P. home at a disadvantage, but current renters may also see their rent increase more than in previous years. I voted for increased Michigan State Housing Development Authority funding in the current and upcoming fiscal year budgets to provide more affordable housing with new and existing units.

Lake Superior Day may have been last month, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the greatest lake of all time again. Today is National Beach Day, and I can't think of a more superior beach than Lake Superior! 🏖️

I was proud to attend the grand opening of the West End Economic Hub last week! This new space is a game-changer for businesses and communities in western Marquette County, offering a collaborative environment and essential resources for economic development. I am thankful to Northern Michigan University, Nicolet Bank, and the City of Negaunee for making this possible. Looking forward to seeing all the amazing work that will happen here! 🎉
