On Council, I’m always looking for ways to make change and efficiencies for our citizens. Noxious weed removal is important, and Saginaw can do better to promote local ecology. 🏡 #noxiousweeds #update

This past week, I attended a Lunch & Learn at the Castle Museum with the esteemed researcher Dr. Willie McKether, who will be releasing his book soon- reminding us the Saginaw struggle still continues, and of the civil rights challenges that are our legacy & responsibility.

Utility bills are becoming more and more of a burden to all of us. Unpaid water bills come with hefty consequences. I think we need to have solutions at the state level that guarantee water affordability. #WaterIsARight #Mileg #Saginaw

I'm proud to support the Invest in MI Kids proposal, which is a constitutional amendment to add an additional tax bracket in Michigan on personal income over $500,000 for a single filer to pay for (constitutionally protected) education funding.

The #1 experience that prepared me for governance was serving as a union steward and lead negotiator. Leading through legal minefields while fighting for people’s urgent needs isn’t something you can learn from a book.

Glenn McIntosh, VP of Student Affairs at my alma mater Oakland University, passed away this past week. Glenn went out of his way to be a friend to me. I didn’t know him well, but I’d like to think that our small acts in life are noticed and remembered. Thank you, Glenn. 🕊️
