Earlier, we had the honor of welcoming five incredibly talented Plymouth-Canton students to the Capitol! They were named winners of the New York Times’ 100-Word Narrative Contest— all from Ms. Olivia Foster’s 21st Century Global Issues & Literature courses at PCEP.

Progress isn’t permanent unless we defend it. Today I stood alongside survivors, students, parents, and advocates to say: enough is enough. Let me be clear: you can’t say you care about families while repealing the laws that keep them alive.

This is not who we are as Americans.

Today, we saw yet another page from the GOP extremist agenda that aims to divide Michiganders & tear families apart. Speaker Hall’s silence is deafening. While Republicans are busy looking backwards, House Dems are looking forward to actually helping people & providing relief.

Michigan families shouldn’t have to wonder if their healthcare, childcare, or schools will stay open. Trump’s reckless funding freeze creates chaos for working people while the wealthy remain untouched. Michigan families are depending on us. We must move forward with urgency & responsibility.

As we reflect on the things we are grateful for this holiday season, I am thankful for the leadership of Rep. Ranjeev Puri. His dedication and vision make him the perfect choice to be House Minority Leader! #letsgo2025 #workingforprogress #ForThePeople

House Dems are committed to #BuildingPeopleUp. We serve because we want to: • Stand up for the people of Michigan. • Stand up for workers. • Stand up for our Constitution. House Republicans serve only themselves.

Today was a whirlwind, but what an incredible honor it is to serve my district and the people of Michigan as the newly elected House Democratic Leader for the 103rd Legislature. Together, we can build brighter future for all Michiganders. Let’s get to work!

The Capitol is buzzing with excitement on the first day of the 103rd legislative term — we’re ready to get to work #BuildingPeopleUp! #MILeg

Thank you, Secretary of State @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, for joining me in Canton for a meaningful conversation with our community! We covered a variety of important topics, including the election, and took the opportunity to listen and engage directly with community members.

“The MIRS team named Rep. Ranjeev Puri (D-Canton) as House Member of the Year for 2024.” Thank you to MIRS for this recognition! Politics is a team sport and I am thankful to have the support of my colleagues. I want to congratulate the other nominees considered for this award.

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights. Read about his lasting legacy.

Jimmy Carter, former U.S. president and peace activist, dies at 100

Carter was president from 1977 to 1981, but he was perhaps more famous for the life he led after he left office. He was one of the biggest advocates for peace, democracy and human rights.

Merry Christmas to all celebrating! Wishing everyone joy and peace this holiday season and beyond!

To my district and the people of Michigan- What happened yesterday in the House should not have happened. It was not just disappointing, but one of the greatest failures for our constituents who elect us to show up to work and vote on pending legislation. 🧵1/3

It was an honor to celebrate the season at the White House Holiday Reception! The stunning East Colonnade we are pictured in reminds us of the joy and unity this special time of year brings. Grateful for the time spent & the memories made with friends in this historic space. ✨🎄 #WHHolidays

Accountability matters. Just as we hold opioid makers and predatory industries liable, firearm manufacturers must also be held to the same standard—no industry is above the law when it comes to public safety.

Our Michigan volunteers are keeping the pressure on state lawmakers to pass critical gun safety legislation before the end of a special session, including bills to ban untraceable ghost guns and to hold bad actors in the gun industry accountable. Go, Michigan! #MomsAreEverywhere #MILeg

It’s really important that we stand up, unified, wipe the dust off, and get ready to put our strongest foot forward. Let’s go!

Q&A: Meet Democratic House Minority Leader Elect Ranjeev Puri and his plans for 2025

Democratic state lawmakers in the Michigan House of Representatives have selected a new slate of leadership to help them navigate next year’s legislative session.

Honored to visit Mount Vernon, the historic home of President George Washington. This visit was a powerful moment to reflect on the leadership and vision that shaped our nation, while also acknowledging the deep injustices of slavery that are part of this history.

Thrilled to announce that I’ve been selected as a 2025-2026 Future Caucus Innovation Fellow! As part of the Energy & Environment cohort, I’ll be collaborating with a bipartisan group of young leaders to shape forward-thinking policies and solutions.

Racism and hate speech have no place in Michigan, or our legislative process. The vile comments made during this testimony are a stark reminder of the work we must do to ensure our Capitol reflects the values of respect and inclusion. We will not be intimidated.

One of the silver linings of this very unfortunate incident at the MI State Capitol on Thursday is that it may have been a wake up call to some about the fact that racism is still very much alive in our country. Thanks to all who have spoken up about this! michiganadvance.com/2024/11/15/p...
