Welcome back to school! I’m wishing students, parents, teachers, and school staff a safe, successful, and fun school year. In Lansing we fought hard to protect universal breakfast and lunch so every public school student can focus on learning instead of an empty stomach.
You should also be aware that this year, a new law goes into place that puts limits on cell phone use during the school day. Districts must have policies that keep wireless devices from becoming distractions during instructional time, while allowing exceptions for emergencies, medical needs, special education accommodations, and certain academic uses.
More information about the cell phone law from the Michigan Department of Education can be found here ->

Have a great school year!

Too often, we hear about people incarcerated in Michigan not receiving the basic healthcare, privacy, disability accommodations, and safe conditions they deserve while in state custody.
That’s why this week, I introduced two bills to establish clear standards for medical, dental, optical, mental health, disability, and medical privacy protections in Michigan’s correctional facilities. These bills protect basic human dignity while preserving MDOC’s ability to maintain safety and security.
Being incarcerated should never mean being denied basic standards of care and dignity. Michigan must hold itself to a higher standard.

Yesterday in Lansing, a bill to take the Michigan Money out of Politics ballot initiative off of the November ballot was brought up for a vote in the House.
I voted no on this bill because I believe that the voters of this state should decide on this initiative.
If the legislature were to adopt this instead of the voters, future legislatures would have the ability to weaken it with a simple majority vote.
We absolutely need to get money out of politics to make sure politicians are working for their constituents and not their donors!

As Michigan continues to see proposals for large-scale data centers, local governments are being asked to make decisions about projects that can have significant impacts on surrounding communities.
Before those decisions are made, communities should have access to the information they need to understand the potential impacts, including thermal impacts, and the demands these facilities can place on local infrastructure.
That’s why today I introduced legislation to give local governments and residents greater transparency and better information when considering large-scale data center development.
These bills would make sure that local municipalities have access to key information before making decisions that may affect residents, the environment, infrastructure, and the surrounding communities.
Communities should not have to approve a project first and find out its impacts later.

Last week, my office toured the Michigan Task Force 1’s Urban Search and Rescue facility in Holly.
Our team got to see firsthand the training, equipment, and preparation that goes into being ready for the moments when communities need help the most.
MI-TF1 is called upon when a disaster overwhelms local resources. Their teams have the specialized skills and equipment to search for and rescue people and support communities during some of the most dangerous situations imaginable.
What we learned made the decision in the most recent state budget to reduce state funding for MI-TF1 to $0 even more concerning. We cannot afford to wait for a disaster to find out whether our emergency response teams have the resources they need.
Since learning about the funding cut, I have been working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle and with state and local fire officials to advocate for restoring this funding.
MI-TF1 trains for the moments none of us ever want to experience. They need to know that when we call for help, they have the resources to answer.
I will continue pushing to restore funding for this critical emergency response team and make sure Michigan is prepared when our communities need help the most.

Residents rely on their city councils, township boards and village boards to make decisions that directly affect their communities and everyday lives. When elected officials routinely fail to attend meetings, residents aren't getting the representation they deserve.
This week, I introduced a package of bills to hold local officials accountable when they fail to meet their basic responsibility to regularly attend the meetings for which they were elected.
If you choose to serve your community, you have a responsibility to show up, participate, and do the job you were elected to do.
Our communities deserve leaders who show up.
