Michigan's refugees need your support! Join me in signing this letter urging ICE's Detroit Field Director Raycraft to demand the immediate release of Hmong and Lao refugees that have been wrongfully detained. During the Vietnam War, the CIA recruited Hmong to fight alongside Americans. To do this day, Hmong have faced hate and danger for having helped us. Additionally, many Hmong who escaped were confined to internment camps where many had children. These adults and children (now adults) should not be sent to the very country which they or their parents escaped and where they have never lived.

From the Great Depression to today, Social Security has been there—never missing a payment, never breaking its promise. As we celebrate 90 years, we must fight misguided cuts & ensure it’s there for generations to come.

It's back to school season, but #TrumpsTariffs are costing hardworking families by raising the prices of everyday necessities. Dems want to provide Michiganders with financial relief, not more taxes.

“I am relieved that the Court has recognized that the Trump Administration cannot abandon longstanding policies to personal healthcare data to advance a political agenda.
Medicaid exists to serve the needs of some of our most vulnerable residents, not to provide unrelated agencies access to some of our most sensitive information. I will continue to fight to ensure Michiganders’ medical data remains protected and confidential," said Attorney General Dana Nessel.

I met Sharon — president of the Morningside community — at tonight’s community meeting. I appreciate talking with the community and look forward to seeing everyone at next month’s meeting at the park.

I’ve just returned from the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) Legislative Summit in Boston. I was fortunate to attend this year’s Summit with my staff in tow.
Every state legislator and staffer is a member of the NCSL, which provides access to policy research and training resources. At this year’s Summit, legislators from across the country gathered to learn, to converse and collaborate, to share, and so much more.
So here’s a quick recap.
The Summit’s opening session paid tribute to Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman; she and her husband were assassinated in June as political targets. Another Minnesota legislator and his wife also were shot, but survived. This session transitioned to conversations about division in our country and the cost of political violence, and forging a path forward that begins with civility. Other session topics included housing and health.
As an executive committee member of the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL), I attended sessions about vaccines’ shifting landscapes of coverage and access, and BioTech and the future of medicine.
I served as a panelist for Save Our Stories: Lawmakers on Protecting the Right to Read Freely – a national panel of legislators hosted by Beacon Press. My colleague Rep. Glanville was also a panelist and we talked about our “Right to Read” legislation and the challenges leading to the bills’ passage in the House last term and its reintroduction this term. It was encouraging to learn about other states’ legislative successes regarding rights to read and accessible information, and the dedication of others in pushing forward meaningful legislation.
One of the most powerful moments for me during the Summit was participating in a press conference in support of Texas Representatives who left their home state with the intent to stave off the unconstitutional redistricting which would gerrymander district maps to favor Republican candidates and silence the marginalized communities currently represented by Democrats. Standing alongside Michigan Democratic colleagues and national leaders, we raised our voices in support of Texas legislators and to condemn the deliberate and dangerous manipulation of electoral maps designed to entrench political power by silencing voters.
This is a national issue. This wasn’t just about Texas. It also was about the broader assault on democracy that’s happening throughout our country – the undermining of principles, the erosion of trust in government, disenfranchisement of voters, and the further suppression of already marginalized people.
You have my promise – I’m committed to making sure Michigan continues to serve as a model for fair maps and voter protections.
