Our government needs to work to dismantle the laws currently in place that are based in systemic racism, such as mandatory minimum sentencing. Learn more

Education

Michigan's children deserve the very best when it comes to education. I strongly support policies that empower children and teachers, such as providing access to early education and limiting class sizes. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Clean water is at the forefront of the battle for the environment. I believe every Michigan family has the right to live without the fear of water contamination or air pollution of any kind. Learn more

We must hold local companies and government responsible while also demanding transparency. I introduced several pieces of legislation to enable Michigan to protect its natural resources. Learn more

Healthcare

I support programs that provide healthcare to senior citizens, as well as the reallocation of funds to ensure that they are not living without necessities such as medicine or medical care in order to survive. Learn more

I am a supporter of a state-funded Medicare for All and have co-sponsored legislation to create such a program. Michiganders have the right to affordable, comprehensive healthcare that also prioritizes mental health. To this end, I also introduced legislation to enhance consumer protections around prescription drugs and to make them more affordable. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

I believe that the key to repairing Michigan's roads is not necessarily in the repair itself, but in preventing the damage from occurring. I supported legislation that would increase overweight trucking fees, as well as close certain corporate tax loopholes, so that everyone in Michigan was paying their fair share when it came to our infrastructure.
