It's getting harder for West Michigan residents to afford their rent or mortgage. That's why I'm fighting to ensure more people have a chance at the American dream by blocking Wall Street investors from buying up single-family homes and driving up prices, working across the aisle to help build more housing and expanding investments in affordable housing.

The Republicans started a dumb actual war in Iran that's sent gas prices above $5 a gallon, making everything way more expensive. When will their war on working people end?

Grand Rapids showed up tonight to lift up Mario David Coronado Juarez, support his family in their time of need and demand justice.

Energy demands and utility bills are climbing. We need solutions that will bring cheaper, clean energy to the grid as quick as possible.
That's why I am proud to introduce HB 6408 & 6410 with State Representative Morgan Foreman to enable virtual power plants. Virtual power plants use cloud-based systems to draw power from rooftop solar, at-home batteries and even electric vehicles during peak demand times.
Virtual power plants prevent the need to use 'peaker' power plants - the dirtiest, most expensive forms of power needed on the hottest days of the summer. By pooling other energy sources, we can save customers money.

We stand on their shoulders; no one knows that better than this son and grandson of union members.
The labor movement was built when everyday folks felt powerless. Workers couldn't get ahead, and their government ignored them. Unions taught us there's strength in numbers and solidarity. Seems time to run that playbook again.
