I am running for re-election as your State Representative because I want to continue building a Michigan that works for everyone.

My focus is on passing more pro-worker, pro-choice, and pro-people legislation. I am committed to improving our education system, protecting our environment, holding corporate polluters accountable, investing in public transportation and infrastructure, and strengthening our democracy.

Since taking office, my colleagues and I have passed transformational legislation to expand civil rights protections for our LGBTQ community, ensure reproductive freedom, restore labor rights, and create economic opportunities for all. Let's keep the momentum going and continue to make a difference together!
  • Strengthen Public Schools - Ensure every student, teacher, and parent has the resources needed to succeed.
  • Defend Our Fundamental Rights - Protecting access to Democracy and our right to vote
  • Invest in Modern Infrastructure - Roads, bridges, public transportation, water, and broadband internet
I am focused on improving our education system, protecting our environment, holding corporate polluters accountable, investing in public transportation and infrastructure, and strengthening our democracy.
The core responsibility of a public official is to serve the people, to always put the people's interests above all else, and to work hard to make our state a better place to live, work, and raise a family for all.
My first job was working on my family fishery, a small commercial fishery located in Pinconning, Michigan. I later worked at a local gas station as a fuel pump attendant, at the grocery store bagging groceries, and the town McDonald's serving food.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Michigan

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states.  To contribute to the list of Michigan scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
