Get StartedI believe we must protect women’s access to reproductive health care and the right to make choices about that care. Decisions regarding healthcare belong to women and their doctors. I support Planned Parenthood and its critical role in providing affordable healthcare to women, men and teens. Learn more
We all agree that no person should suffer discrimination because of who they are, yet Michigan provides no legal protection to our LGBTQ citizens. We must immediately amend or our state civil rights act to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Learn more
Our state legislature must work with the business community to assure that all employees have access to affordable childcare and paid family leave, and that companies can afford to provide their employees fair wages with benefits. We must also invest in infrastructure such as high-speed fiber and better roads to support our business community and attract new companies that can offer high paying jobs with benefits. Learn more

Improving education, providing support and retraining for displaced workers, and interim supports like paid family leave and childcare subsidies have all proven to increase family incomes. We must also embrace land use policies that promote a mix of housing types in our communities. Learn more
We must make immediate and significant investments in our roads and other infrastructure to protect the environment, support working families and build the foundation for Michigan’s economy. Fairness requires that all Michigan citizens pay their fair share to fund this investment. I oppose current proposals that place the burden of road repair on the shoulders of working families.
