This week, I introduced a resolution to recognize this week as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week in Michigan. As someone who lives with MS, it's important that we recognize the effects of the disease and support those who live with it.
I am closely monitoring this ongoing situation and praying for the safety of everyone at the site. Violence has no place in our society.
State and local police and the FBI are on scene and responding, and the Oakland County Sheriff’s office is clearing the building. As of 1:40 pm, no injuries have been confirmed.
At the end of session today, we were made aware of reports of an active shooter situation at Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township after a truck crashed into the building.
I know costs are rising for Michigan families. That's why I'm fighting back to lower your utility bill. Learn more:

The decisions made by the commission affect utility rates, energy policy, and everyday costs for families. This is about public trust and making sure the commission is accountable to Michigan’s residents.
This week Rep. Jimmie Wilson Jr. and I introduced a constitutional amendment and package of bills to make the Michigan Public Service Commission elected by the people of Michigan instead of appointed.
I introduced this legislation with State Representative Jimmie Wilson Jr. because if we're going to change how utilities are regulated, it shouldn't be done quietly. It should be done constitutionally, where voters have a say in the final decision.
Tonight I was proud to join Southeast Michigan Council of Governments at the Belleville City Council meeting to celebrate a $552,890 grant for Belleville’s Main Street safety project. This project will help make it safer and easier to enjoy our downtowns on foot.
Enough is enough. Reliability first and rate hikes last!
Let me be clear here: Michigan’s ratepayers are not a blank check. Michigan families deserve dependable service at a fair and reasonable cost. I will continue pressing for reforms that put consumers first and demand real results in return for every dollar charged.
We’re not seeing those improvements. While the Michigan Public Service Commission has the authority to review and rule on rate cases, this request raises serious questions about affordability, accountability, and whether ratepayers are truly getting what they are paying for.
We are paying more for groceries, housing, and everyday necessities. We should not be asked to repeatedly pay more for electricity while still experiencing outages and service concerns in many communities. When rates go up, reliability and performance must improve.
Today’s announcement that DTE Energy is seeking yet another rate increase, 5 days after families were hit with price hikes, is a slap in the face to hard working Michigan families.

Yesterday, I introduced a bill to require activated body cameras for on duty ICE agents in Michigan. This is about protecting civil rights, ensuring accountability, and protecting public safety in our communities.
When looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, WHV is a good place to start. As a state, we can do better, and we MUST do better.
Women have reported problems with mold leading to health issues, lack of adequate healthcare and disability accommodations, restricted visitations, and more. Women shouldn’t die in prison.
Today in the House Oversight Committee, we heard testimony on Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility (WHV). We heard what we’ve known all along: conditions at this facility are deplorable.
Next step is attorneys from both sides will issue finding a fact and conclusion of law with a 30 page limit by March 10, 2026. Then, the judge will issue his decision within 56 days of today’s closing comments (April 14, 2026).
The health and safety of our residents should not come at the cost of profits for a corporation.
Residents have made it clear time and time again that dangerous waste is not welcome here, and I’m just as outraged as you are. When radioactive material like this moves through communities, transparency, careful review, and public safety must always come first.
This appeal came after Judge Cox’s initial ruling, where he reviewed whether the initial rulings followed the law and whether all safeguards were applied. I was there to observe the process and ensure residents’ concerns were heard.
Today I was in Judge Cox’s courtroom at the 3rd circuit court in Detroit to hear closing arguments in the case involving shipments of low-level radioactive waste tied to the Manhattan Project.
Today we honor the life of service of Rev. Jesse Jackson by remembering his legacy of fighting for justice, equality and service will live on.
This resolution is about making sure our communities have time to plan for large scale data center projects responsibly and transparently.

I’m following updates from state and federal officials and support transparency and a thorough investigation so the public can have clear, accurate answers. The violence and killings must stop.
Today there has been another fatal shooting by federal agents in Minnesota. Americans have the right to peacefully protest and should not face injury or death when exercising those rights.
