Today is Women's Equal Pay Day, and @MIHouseDems believe in equal pay for equal work. As more and more Michiganders struggle with rising costs, women need to be paid what they deserve. #EqualPayDay #mileg

As the tallest and shortest elected officials in Lansing, we are a truly unstoppable duo. Proud to have Michigan's next Secretary of State in our district today. #mipolitics #StandTall

Michigan is lucky to have tenacious leaders like @electsharonmac in the state house. We need her back! Proud to #StandTALL with her at her campaign kickoff in Clawson today.

Antisemitism is on the rise in Michigan and across the US, fueled by hateful, bigoted extremists. We must call it out, and we must fight for a world where all religious believers can practice their faith in safety. My thoughts are with the Jewish members of our community. #mileg

Every Republican President cuts taxes for the rich, starts a disastrous war, and tanks the economy. Looks like we're right on schedule! #mileg

Another day, another reckless, illegal war started by our failing President. I mourn the lives that will be lost among our troops, Iranian citizens and innocents throughout the Middle East, all for Trump to look like a tough guy. #mileg (1/2)

Trump campaigned on getting the US out of wars, but his new war will make the Middle East less stable and the US less safe. He and his Republican allies cut healthcare subsidies and Medicaid to pay for this. Promises made, promises broken. #mileg (2/2)

Way to go, Allie!! Last term, I had the privilege of working with Allie Hayes and her family to pass bills protecting vulnerable adults from online exploitation. Now, they are working with US Reps Stevens and Dingell on a federal version. You are an inspiration to us all!! #mileg

A Troy woman with Down syndrome who was targeted by an online predator is now at the center of a push to make federal law. Allie Hayes, 28, was 18 years old in 2017 when a predator intentionally targeted her online. wxyz.com/news/region/oakland…

Yesterday my colleagues and I introduced bills to license and regulate providers of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I have worked with doctors, hyperbaric professionals, and researchers to craft legislation that improves oversight of these facilities while preserving patient access.

It's White Shirt Day! MI House Democrats wore white shirts and took this photo last week, as the Republicans are too busy meeting with Trump in DC to hold session this week. Trump has been a disaster for Michigan's union workers, but we stand with them today and every day. #mileg

ICE has created a nationwide crisis using dangerous and unconstitutional tactics, to the point of killing American citizens. We owe it to the people of Michigan to protect them from this out-of-control agency. I'm a proud co-sponsor of these bills to reign them in. #mileg #resist

I was so inspired by the students, parents, and teachers who participated in MLK Jr. Day of Service events at Troy Athens High School and Clawson High School. Today we truly lived up to Dr. King's immortal words: "The time is always right to do what is right". #MLKDay2026 #mileg

Dr. King dedicated his life to advancing liberty and justice. These values - not what you look like, how you worship, or where you come from - define what it means to be an American. Today, let us learn from his courage and be the change we want to see in our community. #mileg

This resource from the Immigrant Legal Rights Center explains what your rights are when interacting with or observing immigration enforcement. With Trump's ICE agents lawlessly terrorizing a nearby state, it's more important than ever to know your rights.
