This week in Lansing, Detroit Lions’ biggest fan was at the Capitol! Can you guess who it was? Detroit, our home and community, represents! I can’t wait to watch history in the making take place tonight. Go Lions, Beat the Commanders! One Detroit, One Pride!

Stay away from Detroit Rep. Joe Tate WE DO NOT WANT YOU. #fails #L
Too bad "Sloppy Joe" Tate has such poor taste in supporting bills to improve the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
We're #BuildingDetroitUp by supporting workers, investing in Michigan’s homegrown entrepreneurs and creating good paying jobs — the future is here and it's happening right in Michigan!

Thank you for what was a difficult journey—like herding cats.
Happy New Year, Michigan! I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished together in the 102nd legislative session — from tax relief for working families to universal school meals, gun violence prevention & investments in affordable housing. Here’s to continuing our commitment to build a brighter future for all Michiganders in 2025.

Please prioritize bringing the bipartisan bill 1052 to vote this week. The radioactive material being brought to and buried in Wayne County is unsafe for our communities. That is why it is being moved from other communities. Does this even make sense? We are worry about our family‘s health and wealth. The Senate has done its part and passing this bill. PLEASE I urge you to find the time to vote on protecting our communities from hazardous and radioactive waste! Thank you Rep. Joe Tate our health is in your hands.
Please prioritize bringing the bipartisan bill 1052 floor vote this week. I am part of a group of more than 1000 concerns citizens which are counting on your strong leadership and support to keep our community and families safe. The radioactive material being buried in Wayne disposal keeps me up at night. I worry about my family‘s health and wealth. The Senate has done its part and passing this bill please I urge you to find the time to vote on protecting our communities from hazardous and radioactive waste by bringing this bill to the floor this week! Thank you sir in advance for your strong support! We appreciate you!!
Show us actions speak louder than words. Please bring Bill 1053 to the floor for a vote. Michigan deserves better than being a dumping ground for other states and countries. Especially when it affects our health. They are shipping it here because it is making their communities sick.
Today I had the pleasure of welcoming the family of Ms. Lillie Lester, the first woman and first Black woman to ever serve as a legislative sergeant-at-arms in the United States. Ms. Lester was also a founding member of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus. Her legacy in the House, and Michigan, will always be remembered. #MiLeg
