Today is Women's Equal Pay Day, and @MIHouseDems believe in equal pay for equal work. As more and more Michiganders struggle with rising costs, women need to be paid what they deserve. #EqualPayDay #mileg
Thank you to the Arc of Oakland County for hosting me at their annual Dove Awards, which recognizes educators, advocates, direct care workers and more for their service to people with disabilities. Congratulations to all of this year's honorees! #mileg
MI Republicans: stop playing politics with people's health!! #mipolitics #mileg
Antisemitism is on the rise in Michigan and across the US, fueled by hateful, bigoted extremists. We must call it out, and we must fight for a world where all religious believers can practice their faith in safety. My thoughts are with the Jewish members of our community. #mileg
As we learn more about last week's horrific attack on Temple Israel, I want to share this message from Attorney General Dana Nessel and other Jewish elected officials and community leaders. #mileg

The BRITE Act is the strongest transparency and ethics reform proposed in Michigan in decades. But for all their talk about transparency, House Republicans have yet to join @MIHouseDems in taking action. Michiganders deserve more from their leaders this #SunshineWeek and beyond.
Per NBC News, the children at Temple Beth Israel at the time of the attack were safely relocated to the nearby Jewish Community Center. If you need to go there to reunify with your children, please proceed carefully and be mindful that you may be asked to verify your identity.

I’m hearing the first reports of an incident at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.
Please stay away from the area and listen to direction from first responders as we wait to learn more.
My next Community Conversation is this Saturday at the Royal Oak Senior Community Center. I hope to see you there! #mileg
Michigan House Democrats believe you deserve lower bills, good jobs, and clean air. But House Republicans want to FULLY REPEAL Michigan's renewable energy laws, which would kill thousands of jobs and increase household bills. #mileg
It was great seeing so many local leaders at this year's State of the County address. Despite these uncertain times, Oakland County keeps moving forward!
Great article in about the expansion of MiABLE, the tax-advantaged savings program for Michiganders with disabilities. I passed legislation last term to make this happen. This reform will help thousands of Michiganders with disabilities achieve financial independence. #mileg
More Michiganders with disabilities can build savings without losing Medicaid, SSI bit.ly/4aZEG7r
Wishing a happy Holi to the Hindu community! May this festival of colors bring you joy and light 🎉#holi2026
I was proud to support a labor action at an SEIU Healthcare nursing home in my district last year, and I will continue fighting for better pay and working conditions for these essential workers. Congratulations to the new officers, and #unionstrong!!
March is Women’s History Month! This is a time to celebrate the contributions women make today and made throughout history. Join me in celebrating the power and resilience of women who break barriers, uplift their communities, drive change, and beyond. #mileg
I was honored to bring Troy City Council Member Hirak Chanda to the State of the State address as my guest. Mr. Chanda is an engineer, a tutor, and Troy's first Indian American and foreign-born Council Member. Thank you for everything you've done for our community! #mileg
I appreciated the governor’s focus on strengthening literacy and lowering household costs in her State of the State address. Investing in literacy while reducing the cost of school supplies is a smart, practical approach to support our students and working families. #MISOTS26
