The Rx Kids program, which has helped thousands of families across the state, is coming to Detroit! The health of a city starts with the health of our kids. This program will give our parents and babies the resources they need right from the start.

This is not the America we want for our kids. Elected officials around the country need to denounce the shocking tragedies taking place in Minnesota and do everything in our power to prevent it from happening again. Let’s stand together.

With the winter storm on the way, here are places that you or someone you know can go to seek shelter.

The CHASS Street Medicine Team is doing phenomenal work across Detroit, meeting unhoused patients where they are and providing them with medical care. I had the opportunity to join Dr. Bryce and his team yesterday morning during their mobile visits.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive in their community. The Going PRO Talent Fund is about supporting not only our businesses, but also the hardworking people who power them.

Yesterday, we had the honor to host a number of Veterans from around the State. Thank you to Robert Middleton, from District 9, for being my guest on the floor.

Providing our future leaders with knowledge on what it takes to become a State Legislator. Thank you to Marcus Garvey Academy for having me yesterday!

Just weeks before Christmas, House Republicans yanked away funding for veterans, firefighters, moms and infants.

I’m excited to announce that this data center will create more than 450+ on-site jobs and 2,500 union construction jobs in Southeast Michigan, as a result of the legislation we passed to bring this technology to our state. See link below: nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

On Nov. 1, SNAP benefits will be paused due to the federal gov. shutdown. To help combat the increased need placed on local food banks, I'm introducing a food tax credit program for farmers, commercial grocers & processors who donate. Together, we can keep our neighbors fed.

It takes teamwork to tackle hunger. Thank you to the organizers and volunteers at Make Food Not Waste for providing access to thousands of fresh and healthy meals for our most vulnerable residents!

For nearly 95 years, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has connected Downtown Detroit and Downtown Windsor, strengthening our lasting partnership with Ontario, Canada. I was honored to introduce House Resolution 197 to commemorate the 95th anniversary of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel!

This year, disabled women are facing massive cuts to employment programs and services and even our ability to track those cuts is being blocked. When data disappears, so do stories. That’s why #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay matters more than ever.

It was great to be back in East Lansing sharing my MSU experience on the Black and Broad alumni panel.

Join me tomorrow! Monday, October 13th at the McDonald's located at 8825 E. Jefferson Ave, Detroit, MI 48214 for Coffee and Conversation.

Just 6 days remain before a potential government shutdown. If we cannot reach a deal before September 30th, everyday services could face major interruptions. From State Parks to health programs and the workers involved going unpaid. Time is running out.

Thank you to the leaders of HUDA for the tour of their clinic. HUDA is one of Michigan's most active free clinics, providing health care for families across Metro Detroit

On this day, we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and honor the bravery of all first responders who ran toward danger. Today, we also thank our local firefighters, EMTs and police officers who continue that legacy of service and sacrifice here at home.

Labor Day reminds us that progress didn’t just happen — it was fought for. From fair hours to child labor laws, unions and workers demanded justice. We owe it to them to keep pushing forward.

Last Friday, I was honored to attend the Detroit PAL Recreation Center Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. It is great to see Detroit PAL open its first permanent headquarters in nearly 60 years in Southwest Detroit. Keep up the fantastic work!

105 years ago, the 19th Amendment moved us closer to dignity, fairness & equality. We honor the women who fought for suffrage & recommit to protecting rights under attack today. The work isn’t finished. #WomensEqualityDay

Michiganders are working harder than ever just to get by. They need leaders who will stand up for them — not slash their benefits. I am committed to passing a fair, balanced budget on time.

Yesterday, we honored the life and service of former State Representative Ed Vaughn with a memorial resolution yesterday. Their contributions to Michigan continue to inspire us as we carry forward the vision of public service.

Without a final education budget passed, schools across Michigan are operating in the dark, which means that vital support like school meals will be cut. House Democrats will always fight to support our schools, uplift our educators and help kids thrive.

Families across Michigan have depended on Head Start programs for their children’s development. This will be a significant blow to families in Detroit. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel is the only underwater international border crossing in the world for automobile traffic. It was great receiving a tour of this indispensable North American asset.

It's Election Day in Detroit!

1 in 7 children in Michigan are food insecure, and that number is rising. My new legislation would reinstate a tax credit for donations to shelters & food banks for additional resources to those who serve the food insecure. Read more here: housedems.com/tate-introdu...

Happy 324th, Detroit! From Motown to muscle cars, Coney dogs to comeback stories — this city has shaped history and culture for generations. Let’s keep building the future.

What a day to be a celebrity scooper! 🍦 Big shoutout to Michigan’s own Moose Tracks for dishing out 10,000 scoops to raise $10K for the Salvation Army. All for a great cause, right in the heart of summer. Proud to be part of it!

Fantastic time at the Genesee County BBQ and Rep. Amos O'Neal's annual BBQ in Saginaw. One of my favorite parts about campaign stops during the summer (besides the nice weather) is having a conversation with friends about my run for U.S. Senate over some BBQ.

Michigan Central Station is not only a historic and culturally significant area in Detroit, it is also a hub fostering new ideas and technologies. Take a tour of Michigan Central this summer if you can.

Being a college athlete teaches discipline, teamwork, and resilience. My bill, HB 4643, honors that by making sure student-athletes can benefit from their own name, image, and likeness without restrictions. This is a step towards fairness in college athletics.

At both the Federal and State level, Republicans are taking away SNAP Benefits and Free School Lunch and Breakfast. Families in need will have less of an opportunity to put food on the table. This is not right.

"To the men reading this: if you support reproductive rights, say so...Now, more than ever, this fight doesn’t belong to women alone. It belongs to all of us." @JoeTate313.bsky.social and @nikkivinck.bsky.social on the fight for reproductive freedom. www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

While serving my country in Afghanistan, I thought about my dad's example every day - that sometimes leadership means laying it all on the line to protect the people you're fighting for. youtu.be/r7WUAHF_4-g?...

The 3rd anniversary of Roe being overturned serves as a crucial reminder that the fight to protect #ReproHealth isn't over. Men: If you support reproductive rights, say so. Speak up. Read more about why I refuse to stay silent on this life-saving issue here: www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

House Bill 4643 that I’ve introduced, will help young athletes keep the money that they worked hard for. Bringing further opportunities for student athletes to succeed while going to school. www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

The Trump Administration has suspended funding for Job Corps, leaving hundreds of young people hurting. Job Corps was created to help young adults who are willing to work hard, build a pathway to a better life. Taking this away will wreck these young people's lives and our communities!

Millions of Michiganders of all ages rely on Medicaid. Republicans in D.C. are gutting that lifeline, & House Republicans in Lansing want to do the same. I understand how vital affordable health care access is — I will continue to speak out against policies that leave MI behind.

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting participants of Jack and Jill of America during their visit at the State Capitol during their Legislative Day of Advocacy!

I was proud to share words of encouragement to our future leaders today at the TRIO Upward Bound Graduation Celebration. All of the seniors will be heading to college and I look forward to seeing what’s next for all of them. #TRIOWorks
