As a member of a proud union family, I've seen how unions can uplift workers and help them secure bright futures for their kids. As the @UAW enters into the second month of their strike, I continue to stand with those on picket lines.

I'm excited to see investments being made to bring more affordable housing, small businesses and employment opportunities to Ecorse! This funding will help construct the Monarch — a vibrant new space that will uplift residents and our local economy. puremi.ch/48OTq7d

I'm proud to stand hand-in-hand with 600 legislators in calling on SCOTUS to strike down the 5th Circuit Court's decision to ban mifepristone. bit.ly/3PWePmd

The #MajorityForThePeople is doing the damned thing, y’all. For as long as I’ve been in office (longer actually) Oral Chemo Parity has been attempted. On to the full #mileg Senate next.
Congratulations and thank you, Rep. @SamSteckloff!

Love that the hearing was at the end of #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth & during #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, it passed out of committee.
(The fact that we have entire awareness months for different types of cancer, should tell everyone how necessary this bill is.) LFG!

Was amazing to preside over the passage of these important health & consumer protection bills in the #mileg Senate today. The #MajorityForThePeople is delivering. On to the next chamber. Great work Sens. @darrincamilleri, @vklinefelt11 & @McdonaldRivet.

Every Michigander deserves access to affordable medications. With a PDAB, we can make this a reality and put an end to the difficult choices many face. Here's what advocates have to say. ⬇️

Pssst! Are the kiddos tucked in? Book bags packed? School laptops charged? If not, now’s a good time to make sure because in Michigan, tomorrow is Fall Count Day & not the day to miss. (Really, none of the days are—unless kiddo is ill—but especially not on Count Day.)

This is a @SamSteckloff appreciation tweet for introducing HB4071, which we heard in Sen. Health Policy ctte today. Affordability & access to oral chemo drugs needs to happen sooner rather than later, for so many reasons for those who need them where oral (over IV) options exist.

And yeah—this bill is personal, even though my little one is (hopefully) done w/chemo. If we can make chemo less burdensome & affordable for the next set of patients, let’s make it so.
A lot of y’all have no idea, for those of us who do, we wish it was knowledge we didn’t have.

That should’ve read “less burdensome and **more affordable**”
(If only we could edit w/o the tithing to the owner of this app.)

Today is the Downriver Relay for Life🫶🏾, which my husband & I walked w/our little survivor warrior on the one-year anniversary of her ringing the bell🔔 for completing radiation. Hopefully, next year we’ll be able to have a team to walk it w/her as a survivor in remission.🎗️💛🔔

This #MajorityForThePeople stands in solidarity with the working families of the @UAW. Today, we wore red in support of all those who are striking for the things they need to sustain their families — including fair pay, safer working conditions & better benefits. #StandUpUAW #1u
ALT Michigan's Democratic State Senators standing in rows at the beautifully ornate rostrum in the front of the Senate chamber. The Senators are smiling and wearing shirts, button-ups, blazers and ties in the color red to show their solidarity with the UAW members on strike.
