As we close out #AANHPIHeritageMonth, I had the honor of celebrating with CAPA Michigan at Splendor of the East—a night full of culture, talent, and unity.
This year marks 25 years of CAPA’s incredible work uplifting AAPI voices across Michigan. I was proud to present a tribute to commemorate this milestone and recognize the enduring impact CAPA has had in building community, fostering leadership, and honoring our shared heritage.
Here’s to the next 25 years of progress, celebration, and collective strength.

🌉A once-in-a-lifetime experience of Michigan’s most iconic landmarks
I had the unique and humbling opportunity to tour the Mackinac Bridge, one of the greatest feats of engineering in our state — and the nation. Since 1957, this critical structure has connected Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas, driving tourism, trade, and economic opportunity.
But what I experienced went far beyond what most people ever see. Thanks to the Mackinac Bridge Authority and their incredible staff — many of whom are proud union workers, I was able to see firsthand what it takes to maintain, protect, and extend the life of this vital infrastructure.
🛠 From the anchor pier deep beneath the bridge…
…to the very top of the tower, here’s what my experience looked like:
➡️ I climbed through a tiny sewage hole, then walked down 148 winding steps to see where the thousands of suspension wires were anchored. The view from the anchor pier looking up at the bridge was a humbling experience.
➡️ I then climbed back up, and we headed to the south tower. I squeezed through a tiny opening on the side of the tower and took a small elevator up six flights.
➡️ Finally, I climbed a three-story vertical ladder weaving through narrow tunnels to reach the very top! The view was incredible and breathtaking!
It was exhilarating, terrifying, and unforgettable. My heart was thumping and my hands were shaking — but the serene view from the top was absolutely worth it.
This experience has given me a whole new appreciation for the invisible work that keeps Michigan moving. The skill, grit, and dedication of the workers who maintain this structure in every kind of weather is nothing short of heroic.
✅ The Mackinac Bridge is more than just a connector — it’s an economic engine, a public investment, and a symbol of what we can build together when we think big.

Just wrapped up my time at the Mackinac Policy Conference —I heard from multiple attendees that there's nothing else in the country quite like it, so kudos to the staff and volunteers at Detroit Regional Chamber and the thousands of seasonal workers from all over the world who come to work on the island.
I had the opportunity to connect with business leaders, nonprofit changemakers, and elected officials at every level — city, county, state, and federal. From deep dives into infrastructure and economic development to honest conversations about the real-world impacts on our business and nonprofit sectors, the discussions were powerful and important.
What stood out most? The chance to build deeper relationships across the aisle. Because when we take time to listen and learn together, that’s how we move Michigan forward.
Grateful for the chance to be part of these critical conversations and bring back insights that will help shape the work we do every day.

Grateful to be part of the Roseville Memorial Day Parade today — a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Memorial Day reminds us of the true cost of freedom. It’s a time to honor not only those we've lost, but also the veterans who carry their stories, the active-duty service members who stand watch today, and the families who have sacrificed so much. Behind every uniform is a story of courage, duty, and deep love for country — and we must never take that for granted.
A big thank you to the organizers, volunteers, city workers, and local officials who made today’s event possible. It’s no small task to bring our community together in such a meaningful way — and your hard work did not go unnoticed.
And to all the families who came out — especially the little ones and those who lost a loved one, I’m hopeful that the values of service, sacrifice, and unity will live on in the next generation.
Wishing you all a safe and meaningful #MemorialDay

I was honored to participate in the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade this afternoon — a beautiful tradition that brings our community together to pause, remember, and reflect on the true meaning of this holiday.
Memorial Day is about more than just a long weekend — it’s about remembering the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We honor our fallen heroes, give thanks to those who have served, and recognize the sacrifices of those who continue to serve today. Many carry with them the memories of comrades lost. That weight is not something we can ever fully repay — but we can remember, we can honor, and we can strive to live in a way that is worthy of their sacrifice.
Walking the parade route, I was moved by the presence of so many veterans and military families — and especially by the youngest ones waving their hands with pride. Seeing the littlest ones in attendance gave me so much hope for the future. They are growing up in a community that values service, freedom, and remembrance.
Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful holiday weekend. Let’s take time to reflect, to connect, and to never forget the cost of our freedom.

Michigan House Republicans are wasting your time and taxpayer dollars. Putting up unserious bills to force us to vote so that they can continue to instill fear, sow doubt, chaos, division, while not focusing on the needs of the millions of Michiganders who need us to deliver for them.
Now, we will be adjourned for a week, without any plan for a budget to pass by July 1, to give schools time to plan the next school year, and while federal cuts are looming ahead that will cripple Michigan's very own economy.
Individually, I represent an extremely diverse district, one that voted for Trump, and that voted for me, and have to take tough votes that sets aside my personal values and beliefs for the greater good of the majority of the people I represent.
From the left —I've been attacked and, unfortunately will continue to get attacked.
From the right —I've been and will most definitely continue to get attacked.
But one thing, I hope to make clear to you: let's not lose focus of what damage Republicans are doing to all of us, because we are too busy fighting amongst one another.
