. @RepKristianG speaks on bills to expand Michigan housing supply. House Bills 6095-6098 rebalances regulations to prevent local governments from overreaching and limiting housing supply. This bill package will make it easier for millions of Michiganders, especially young people, to find a place to live. Learn more: mackinac.org/32634

Excited to see this legislation from @RepKristianG that would require that Michigan local governments plan for housing in their master plans and that they specifically plan for housing of a diversity of incomes and types!
Well, it’s been fun guys! Thanks for allowing me to watch SOTU with you!
I usually stay away from political Twitter because…well iykyk 😂.
Still I enjoyed tonight, and maybe I’ll start checking in more often around here lol.
I believe in the power of big and “small” ideas.
So yes, let’s lower prescription costs, provide housing, AND stop letting the snack company charge me more money for less chips!
POTUS: “No billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a teacher, sanitation worker, or a nurse.”
Me:
As many know housing that is safe, attainable, and affordable for Michiganders is my top priority.
Hearing the President talk about his commitment to housing, and also his commitment to OWNERSHIP is amazing!
We must keep doing the work. Everyone deserves access to housing.

Southeast Grand Rapids has historically been underdeveloped and under invested in. This budget is changing the narrative for my community, and for Michiganders across the state!
Cheers to a record breaking budget!
I am elated to bring home:
✔️ $35M for 2 new fire stations. We have the longest wait times in the county & needed more support.
✔️$6M for redevelopment of the MLK Community lodge for youth programming, rec, event space, classrooms & more
✔️$3.5 for Emory Arts & Culture Hub
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🥰
I’m so thankful we have Pure Michigan to enjoy. I always say our lakes, beaches, and trails rival anywhere else in the country. Let’s get out and experience them!

May is #AAPIHeritageMonth! @MIHouseDems have introduced legislation to update Michigan's hate crime laws for the first time since the 1980s, so Michiganders of all backgrounds feel safe and welcome in the Mitten. We also added #KorematsuDay as a state holiday!
ALT The words Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month are written in navy blue and magenta on a golden rectangle outlined in white over four brightly colored bolts of floral fabric.

Kent County’s decision to close our land bank has deprived core communities like Grand Rapids from having a local option for too long. Special thanks to @RepKristianG for shepherding this crucial piece of legislation! Onward to the Senate!

No one should face an atrocity twice. When we dont treat hate crimes seriously victims endure the crime & must fight for justice. This legislation is key to holding ppl accountable. Honored to partner w @NoahArbit & @RanjeevPuri on this historic package!

It’s Earth Day! I wanted to show off my plant babies like the proud mom I am In MI we have SO much to protect & celebrate, nature is one of our biggest assets. Thanks to those working hard to protect it💙. I love nature in the walls I call home but also in the state WE call home!
For Black Maternal Healthcare Wk I was proud to stand with my colleagues. We refuse to ignore the disparity in the quality of healthcare that Black families receive. We commit to working hard to close the gap and fight that families receive what they deserve when it comes to care

“Yesterday, the TN Republican-led General Assembly showed that its members will use unjust methods, flimsy evidence, and inconsistent rules to go to any lengths to attempt silencing Black members fighting for justice,” added MLBC Chairperson, @SenErikaGeiss (D–Taylor). #Tennesee3
