Last week I introduced a bill called the Universal Constitutional Remedies Act. My bill would allow Michigan residents to sue federal officials for violating their constitutional rights, as residents can already do with state and local officials.

"Calm down" - the Republican Chair of K-12 spending in the House, to educators worried about this year's school funding. Real leaders don't demand others calm down - they take responsibility for our schools and students. #mileg #resist #mipolitics #nokings

I had a great time at Royal Oak's Juneteenth celebration. Thank you to everyone who organized this year's event, whose theme was "One Community, One History, One Future, Together". It was an inspiring reminder of the progress we've made as a nation and how much work there is to do. #Juneteenth2026

The House has adopted my resolution recognizing June 15 as Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Take time today to learn about signs of potential elder abuse and how to report suspected abuse. You just might save a life. #mileg www.michigan.gov/ag/initiativ...

Happy Pride month!! Today and every day, I am grateful for the LGBTQ Michiganders in my life and in our community. Let's recommit to fighting for a future where every member of the LGBTQ community is welcomed, accepted, and celebrated. #mileg #pridemonth #pride2026

I stand in solidary with UAW 2093 workers at American Axle in Three Rivers. They deserve a fair contract, paying enough of a wage to support their families. These workers took major pay cuts during the Great Recession - the time is long overdue for American Axle to hold up their end of the bargain.
