We ended 2024 with a budget surplus in Michigan but Trump's trade wars and tariffs have stymied our economic growth and caused some forecasters to specualte that we'll lose 13,000 jobs in coming years due to tariffs on new cars and auto parts.

Today at the Capitol I met some nurses, future nurses and relatives of nurses from my district.
They're here advocating against mandatory overtime for nurses, who typically work 12 hour shifts already. Mandating overtime is unfair to hardworking nurses and dangerous for patients.
We have bipartisan legislation in the House that will ensure nurses are not required to work overtime (excepting emerge

Last year, as Chair of the Natural Resources Appropriations committee, I was so proud to support this project that invests $64 million to prevent the spread of Asian carp into our Great Lakes in a partnership with Illinois and the federal government.

Last Thursday, I met with pediatricians in my district (pictured) and today I met with the Primary Care Association.

One thing I want everyone to be aware of is that even if you're not on Medicaid, it's helping you and your family by keeping our hospitals open and ensuring we all have access to care. In the comments, I'll le

I'm deeply concerned about the impact DOGE cuts and Trump's economic policies will have on our state and nation.
Congress is trying to pass a budget that paves the way for a tax break for billionaires. They're considering paying for it by axing Medicaid, which 1 in 4 Michiganders rely on for their healthcare. This move would likely force some of our rural hospitals to close their doors.

Last week, I met with my friends from the Alzheimer's Association to talk about the need for increased funding to support the nearly 203,000 Michiganders living with Alzheimer's and families like mine that have been impacted by dementia.
This week, I sent letters to the House and Senate Chairs for DHHS and Public Health urging them to support an additional $2 million in funding for the Healthy Bra

I hope you'll consider joining me in Leslie on May 12th to celebrate Police Week. Within our local law enforcement agencies are hardworking officers who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to honor and recognize their dedication and sacrifice during this event.
Thanks to the wonderful volunteers who are putting this together,

My colleagues in the Michigan Senate passed legislation today that will make life-saving medications more accessible and affordable in Michigan.
Their bills establish a Prescription Drug Affordability Board, that will review the cost of high-priced drugs and recommend fair pricing strategies. This would allow them to set caps on how much can be charged for prescription drugs, helping Michiganders

Some highlights of the week:
- Showing MSU AGEP students around the Capitol.
- Visiting with my co-chair of the Bipartisan Women's Caucus, Rep. Nancy DeBoer.
- Mascot Day at the Capitol, one of my favorite events, during which we are visited by mascots of community colleges across our state.
