As a working mom, I know the challenges families face every day. Too many parents are forced to choose between caring for their children and keeping their jobs. They shouldn't have to make that choice.
I'm glad Michigan House Republicans took up *similar* legislation to codify Tri-Share and Care-Share, two proven programs that lower childcare costs for families while helping employers recruit and retain workers.
By codifying and expanding these programs, we can make childcare more affordable, strengthen our workforce, and provide real relief for Michigan families.
While House Bill 6043 is not as comprehensive as my bill, House Bill 6034, its passage through the House is an important first step toward ensuring these programs can continue serving families and businesses for years to come. As we continue through the budget process, we must also fully fund Tri-Share so more working parents can enter, or remain in, the workforce.
I remain committed to ensuring that we deliver a budget that lowers costs for Michigan families and strengthens our economy.

School may be out for the summer, but no child should go hungry.
The Meet Up and Eat Up program offers free meals for children and teens 18 and under at locations throughout the 13th House District and across Michigan.
See the list below for participating schools and meal times, and check the comments for the complete list of locations in Macomb County and across the state.

Someone should check and see if he got his EBT card sent to the Governor’s house. 😂

No child should ever have to go hungry because of confusing applications or administrative hurdles.
Michigan House Republicans? They want to make it harder for Michiganders to apply for basic necessities: FOOD!
The bill sponsor admitted on the House Floor today that he fraudulently went through the online application putting in fake information to get to the end of the application and then referred to the process as flawed because the application he filled out was “submitted”.
Sir, the application is sent to DHHS who then has to VERIFY the applicants information. They don’t automatically get the food benefits. They have to submit additional documentation. The process is lengthy, overwhelming, sometimes they don’t hear from DHHS for weeks and months.
It doesn’t mean the system is flawed. It means the system is working (albeit, slow, and cumbersome) and people like him are *trying* to game the system, except they are getting denied on the backend. 🤦♀️

Thank you Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist for always standing tall for the people of Michigan.Last week, I presided over the Senate as it passed the Michigan Voting Rights Act.
At a time when voting rights are being challenged across the country, Michigan is choosing to protect them. Every Michigander deserves the confidence that their vote will be cast, counted, and heard.
Now, let’s keep the momentum going and get this vital legislation to the governor’s desk.

This Michigan GOP Bill to require candidates running for office to disclose dual citizenship on an affidavit of identity is nothing more than an anti-immigrant policy dressed up as transparency.
People deserve leaders who are focused on the issues that matter: lowering the cost of healthcare, childcare, housing, and getting a school aid and state budget done on time.
Instead, Michigan House Republicans are holding hearings on unserious legislation that further sows division and fear-mongers, and scapegoat immigrant communities under the guise of “transparency”.
You want to talk about transparency?
Speaker Matt Hall should pass FOIA legislation.
You want candidates running for office to check off a box on their affidavit of identity?
Add a box requiring them to disclose to the public if they’ve ever been convicted of a crime.
Add a box to require that they actually live at the address they’re putting down on paper.
Multiple media reports have been made about candidates and sitting legislators who’ve committed crimes or are fake-living out of a barn or and apartment they don’t actually dwell in.
We have 5 session days left until July 1. Let’s make it count and get a budget done before the legally required deadline. Our schools and families are depending on it.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, the day when news of freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.
Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom, justice, and opportunity are ideals we must continue working toward for everyone.
On this day, and everyday, let’s continue to honor the resilience, strength, and contributions of Black Americans, reflect on our history, and recommit ourselves to building communities where every person has the opportunity to thrive.
Thank you to my colleague Rep. Brenda Carter for allowing me to walk alongside you in solidarity at the Juneteenth Parade last year in Pontiac. Wishing everyone a safe, meaningful, and reflective Juneteenth as you celebrate today and throughout the weekend!

Here we go again… is Speaker Matt Hall orchestrating a potential State of Michigan government shutdown again??
We have a statutory deadline of July 1 to pass a School Aid Budget and General Fund Budget.
But with only 5 session days left, so far —no budget bills have been added to our agenda for a vote.
Thousands of State of Michigan employees including our own office staff are in danger of being furloughed.
If we don’t get the budget done before October 1, schools would also be forced to open without the critical funding they need for teachers, transportation, or food.
Let’s get a budget done —Michigan families are depending on it!
