Downtown New Baltimore’s access to Lake St. Clair makes it a true gem of our district. I'm grateful to partner with Mayor Semaan to bring state dollars back to the community to enhance their waterfront space for even more to enjoy. www.voicenews.com/2025/01/28/n...

Grateful for the conversations I had with local business owners and bartenders from Baffin Brewing and Copper Hop today. We’re all in agreement that the Legislature needs to put politics aside, find compromise, and deliver solutions on tipped wage and paid sick leave.

What do teachers, police officers, and firefighters all have common?     They're about to get hit with a steep increase in health insurance costs because House Republicans are blocking critical legislation to fix the issue.

“I’ll check back on that.” Either they're lying to you or they don't know the answer — both of which are unacceptable when the health care coverage of 2.6 million Michiganders is in question.
