Policy Priorities


Housing

We know that a place to call home is a foundational to ensuring health, safety, and well being. But far too often, we see that the accesibility, availability, and affordability of housing opportunities is out of reach for far too many. I have been proud to make important investments in housing during my time in the Senate, but it’s time to double down on ensuring we provide housing opportunities for all. I will continue to prioritize housing by:

  • Making Historic Investments to Build Real Affordable Housing Units

  • Passing the “Fair Chance at Housing” Act to Prohibit Landlords from Asking about Criminal History on Rental Applications.

  • Ensuring Transparency and Fairness in the Return of your Security Deposit

  • Continuing to Support First Time Homeowners with Down Payment Assistance

  • Prohibiting Large Corporations from Buying Up Large Amounts of Housing Stock, Leaving no Supply for Residents

Education

We’ve made important progress in improving our state’s education system. But, there is still work to do. We must empower our schools, teachers, and students to create a better, more inclusive and equitable education system in our state. I will continue to fight to for our teachers & provide an equitable, quality education to all the students of MI:

  • Continuing to Prioritize Equitable Per-Pupil Funding

  • Providing Universal Pre-K Funding

  • Transparency in for-profit Charter Schools

  • Investments in Facility & Technology Improvements

  • Opportunities for Students to Pursue Career and Technical Education

  • Prioritize Special Needs & At-Risk Students

  • Funding for Essential Tutoring & Support

  • Investing in Students who want to Pursue Teaching Degrees

  • Ensuring Access to Before/After School Programs

An Economy that Works for Everyone

From federal tariffs, to inflation, to a lack of available talent, our economy is experiencing an important inflection point. I’ve worked hard to ensure that we build an economy that works for everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy. We must support our local businesses, and ensure workers have the opportunities they deserve to learn new skills and secure high wage employment. I will continue to champion investments and legislation that will:

  • Provide Relief & Grant Opportunities to our Small Businesses

  • Maintain Funding for MI Reconnect Program

  • Prioritize Funding to Black & Brown Start-Up Businesses

  • Increase Workforce Development & Skilled-Trade Opportunities

  • Invest in Technological Advances for the State

  • Expand Paid-Sick Leave for MI Workers

  • Universal & Affordable Childcare Options

  • Invest in Regional Transportation to Connect our Communities

Protecting Consumers

For far too long, we’ve seen large corporations take advantage of every day people by artificially raising prices, engaging in shady business practices, and taking advantage of our community. As chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, Insurance, and Consumer Protection, I have made sure to pass common sense consumer protection bills. I’ll continue to stand up and protect consumers by leading the charge on policies that:

  • Ensure your Auto Insurance Covers you in the Event of an Accident

  • Bring Down Auto Insurance Rates

  • Hold Utility Companies Accountable for Outages & Pollution

  • Crack Down on Corporate Price Gouging

Health and Wellness

With the passage of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill", many have seen increased in healthcare premiums. At the same time, we continue to see a shortage of workers in our healthcare field and an increased need for mental health services. I’ll work hard to support our state’s health and wellness by ensuring:

  • Access to Affordable Healthcare

  • Lower Prescription Drug Costs

  • Expanded Access to Medicaid

  • Equitable Funding in Under Served Areas

  • Expand Paid Sick-Leave

  • Increased Access and Awareness to Mental Health Supports

  • Mandated Preventative Care Coverage

Championing our Communities

You deserve a Senator that shows up everyday on behalf of the District they serve. Since taking office, I’ve been proud to secure over $100 million in investments back into our communities. I’ve also worked hard everyday to ensure our office is accessible and responsive to the needs of our community. I will continue to be a champion for our communities by:

  • Providing Information on State Funding Opportunities

  • Showing up at Important Community Events

  • Fighting to Return State Tax Dollars to Community Priorities

  • Being Accessible to Constituents and Bringing your Voice to the State Capitol
