Last week my team and I celebrated the signing of my "Safe Homes, Safe Schools" gun safety law and my law expanding the MiABLE disability savings program.
I was especially honored to have Ted and Nancy Verner from Clawson share the moment with us. Their daughter Alexandria was among those tragically killed during the 2023 shooting at MSU. They are one of the many families affected by gun violence who spoke out for common-sense gun safety legislation, and I cannot thank them enough. I also want to thank Senator Mallory McMorrow for her speech defending "Safe Homes, Safe Schools" on the Senate floor.

The Verner family have been tireless advocates for gun safety, bravely fighting for our communities in the midst of their constant grief. It is a remarkable act of courage and strength.
This is a tardy post, but I can't miss praising one of my favorite events of the year. Last weekend, I attended Troy High School's 32nd Annual Gala Concert. Ever since my daughters went to Troy High I've been so impressed with the talent in the music program.
Kudos to the students and the AMAZING Director of Orchestras, Wendy Stuart, who has just won the 2025 Teacher of the Year by the Michigan chapter of the American String Teachers Association.

People ask me, "How are things going in Lansing with the Republicans in charge?" My answer is, "Well, not much is going at all."
I'm ready to get to work. What about the House Republicans?

Lunar New Year began on January 29 and lasts for 16 days! In Metro Detroit, the celebrations warm up the cold days of deep winter. Last Friday, I had a delicious dinner with the DIA Friends of Asian Arts and Cultures. On Sunday I enjoyed the spectacular Assoc of Chinese Americans Lunar New Year celebration at Eastern Market Shed 5 with 3,000 other attendees. Thank you all for including me!

Thousands of Americans came together at state capitols throughout the country today to protest the harm being done by the Trump/Musk Administration's shock and awe campaign against its own people. Here's my video from my office and in front of the Michigan State Capitol.💪 #buildtheresistance #50501

Janice Harvie Think about it— why would democrats be ranting for musk to be removed? Instead of appreciating the evidence of wate and mismanage of OUR money they are calling for riots in the street to stop Musk from revealing thief and waste chocking us. You’d think they’d be eager to protect taxpayer citizens they are supposed to represent and Intercede for. Why aren’t they? What do the democrats have to loose? Now for phase two: Musk will back trace to reveal the person or persons that instituted and authorized these payments and out going donations. The democratic leadership’s reaction has been fear and overt frenzy. Look at them. Listen to what they are screaming. Look at their out rage! Why wouldn’t they want their constituents to know this information? I hope these democrat citizens as well as republicans affected by their reactions will step back and look at the whole picture. They need to— because this money belongs to them as well. Then there will be the accountability. It appears there’s much to account of for. This isn’t about Musk. It’s about who will be affected by what he’s showing us. The only way to stop us from finding out their evil is to take Musk down. Musk doesn’t need our personal information or take over our country. It’s the only reason the democrats can come up with to warrant what they are raging against. That’s a joke. It’s the only thing that they can accuse him of. The only thing they can justify their outrage. They think we’re stupid. Step back see the whole picture. They think we have believed everything else they have lied about. Step back and see the whole picture. It’s only going to get worse.
Austin Tx was with you and showed up big! Stay strong

Michigan workers, families, and small businesses are already paying the price for Republican recklessness. From higher grocery bills to fewer federal benefits, the GOP’s chaos is already hurting everyday Michiganders. We won’t stand by while the GOP plays political games with people’s livelihoods. My Democratic colleagues and I will continue to push back and stay focused on what really matters: lowering costs for people, uplifting workers, and supporting businesses that help our communities thrive.

Please join the Michigan Women's Commission this Thursday, February 6, at 10:30 am for a webinar focusing on access to capital for women entrepreneurs and small business owners. Details are below!In the US, there are over 14 million women-owned small businesses, accounting for nearly 40% of all businesses in the country. Women-owned businesses pack a powerful economic footprint, generating $2.7 trillion in annual revenue and employing almost 12.2 million people. Despite this, start-ups and businesses owned by women received less than 3% of venture capital funding and those with all woman teams received only 1.9%.
