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!!
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.
Speaker Tate - Once a Marine always a Marine. I thank you for your service to our country and our Corps. I'm retired and I have tried my best to carry our core values with us. Honor, Courage and Commitment. Please stand with the people and not big money and forward SB1052 to the floor. Semper fi
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

Rep. Joe Tate
As we move ahead during lame-duck, I’ve got more on my wish-list for Detroiters and everyone across the state. I’m going to keep working on making water more affordable, increasing unemployment benefits, and making our neighborhoods safer. I’ve heard from folks that these are their priorities, so they are mine, too. Working for the people is why I get up every morning and work hard everyday.

The opportunity to serve Detroiters and all Michiganders is a privilege I am grateful for everyday. As the legislative term winds down, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on all the wins we were able to bring for the people of Michigan — giving folks some breathing room in their budget, making sure kids are fed at school, addressing issues in the juvenile justice system, and creating more housing opportunities that people can afford. I’m going to keep putting one foot in front of the other to serve this great state.

Wayne County has more commercial hazardous waste facilities than anywhere else in the State. The House has an opportunity now to show real leadership by passing SB1052. Speaker Tate can clearly demonstrate his commitment to Wayne County and Detroit's environmental future by bringing this bill to a vote! We NEED you Joe!

Had the pleasure of joining fellow Black state legislators in the NBCSL and Symone Sanders today to talk about ways to rebuild the American Dream so that opportunity is equitably available to all Americans. #GameFace

Why did you remove sb 165-167 from the labor committee agenda? Many in the State law enforcement and corrections and DNR were really rooting for this. Not quite a Happy Holidays to our brothers and sisters in MSEA from Rep. Tate.
