I am honored to receive this approved designation. As someone who worked in ‘22 to get reproductive freedom on the ballot, pro-choice state representatives elected, and then worked in the legislature helping to codify reproductive freedom into state law, this designation is incredibly special to me.

My wife Carley teaches at Skyline. Confining students and staff with disabilities to open spaces on the 1st and 2nd floors is unsafe and inequitable. Students are going to be deprived of science labs because they won’t be in a safe space to conduct them. Our students and staff deserve better

Our Ann Arbor Transit Workers deserve a fair contract! For all that they do for our city and at a time where inflation and tariffs are taking so much from working people, it’s the least we can do. Call 734-973-6500 and demand our transit workers get a fair contract #a2council #solidarity

Michigan Medicine nurses have been without a contract since March 31st! For all they do for us, nurses deserve a contract and safe staffing ratios. I was so proud to stand in solidarity with our nurses today alongside Yousef Rabhi, Dave Zeglen, and my wife Carley #minurses #a2council

Thank you so much, AAEA! Being the spouse of an AAPS teacher, I am deeply honored to receive this endorsement. Our teachers work tirelessly for our community, giving everything they have and asking for very little in return. It’s about time our local government does the same for them. #a2council

Thank you so much to the 50 neighbors that came out for our first community meet and greet! It was so lovely chatting with you all on a host of important issues facing our community. We’ll be doing more of these in the coming months so stay tuned! 😊

Happy teacher appreciation and public service employee recognition week! You all are the true heroes of our community and you deserve to be compensated as such. Let’s start by getting you all a contract! #politics #annarbor #a2council #teachers #publicservice #democraticsocialism

I am so proud to have the endorsement of Teamsters Local 243! Working people not only belong in Ann Arbor, they deserve a seat at the table. I will be a city councilmember that shows up everyday fighting to make their lives better, and I’m honored that they have put their trust in me to do so.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Our environment is our most precious resource and it must be protected. We deserve to have affordable, reliable, green energy that is not subject to the whims of corporate monopolies. For those reasons, I fully support Ann Arbor for Public Power.

Having Sheriff Dyer’s endorsement means so much to me. She has been steadfast in her commitment to social justice, implementing meaningful criminal justice reforms and leading with compassion. I look forward to working with her to keep our residents safe.

Over the last few days, we’ve seen President Trump threaten to commit war crimes and genocide against the Iranian people. As his health continues to deteriorate and the people around him do nothing to rein in his worst impulses, we all find ourselves in danger. He must be removed from office now 🧵

29 Michigan legislators join nationwide call to remove Trump over Iran rhetoric

Lawmakers from 27 states signed a letter citing concerns over Trump’s threats and shifting statements about possible military action against Iran, urging his cabinet and Congress to act.
