What great news for Texas Township! Congratulations on the successful fire millage and the continued investment in keeping our communities safe. If you're in the area, join me this Friday, August 7, from 10:30am to 12pm at the Texas Township Fire Department Training Room for my monthly Coffee Hour.❤️ THANK YOU, TEXAS TOWNSHIP! 🚒
Yesterday, our community made an investment in the future of fire and emergency services, and we are incredibly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in the Texas Township Fire Department.
Thank you to every resident who attended a meeting, asked thoughtful questions, shared conversations with neighbors, and took the time to vote. Your engagement helped shape an informed decision, and we sincerely appreciate your support.
This investment allows us to continue building a department that is prepared to meet the needs of our growing community while remaining responsible stewards of every tax dollar. Our firefighters have always been committed to serving Texas Township with professionalism, compassion, and dedication, and we will continue to serve our community with that same commitment every day.
It is an honor to serve this community. Thank you for believing in us.

Happy 4th, Everyone! I hope everyone can celebrate our nation's 250th with friends and family today. While having fun, please keep safety in mind and look out for one another.
Many in our community are without power and the heat will cause challenges across our region. Add in fireworks, open flames, beers, boats, sun, etc., and you can see why this is a busy time of year for Emergency Departments!

I’ve heard loud and clear from constituents—if data centers are going to be built in our communities, we need strong, commonsense protections in place.
The Data Center Guardrail package moves us in the right direction by requiring transparency, establishing meaningful community benefit agreements, protecting ratepayers from unfair costs, and ensuring local voices are heard in the decision-making process. As IBEW’s Jonathan Current said, these projects can bring opportunity, but only if they’re developed in a way that invests, respects, and includes the communities nearby.
I’m proud to support this effort and will continue working alongside my colleagues and constituents to ensure responsible, community-centered development.

I appreciated the opportunity to meet with State Representative Matt Longjohn and discuss the impact BCBSM's recent behavioral health policy changes may have on access to care for children, families and its impact on providers, and small businesses across Michigan.
