I AM FIGHTING FOR YOU IN THE STATE SENATE
For too long, the state of Michigan has been squeezing our schools, cutting holes in our social safety net, neglecting our infrastructure, and weakening environmental protections. Michigan needs a new direction. We need representatives who can hit the ground running to serve their communities and make Michigan a state that works for everyone.
That’s why I am running for State Senate. We need someone in the legislature who knows what they’re doing, and I have a history of fighting for progressive change and achieving tangible results, even while in the minority. Check out my position on the issues as well as my history of accomplishments in public service. I hope to earn your support.
