There is one more weekend of Early Voting, and then Election Day will be here! Growing up, I had no voice and no voting power. Today, I am honored to not only vote, but also run for office. Every vote matters, and every voice deserves to be heard.

This is a solution in search of a problem that does not exist. Our elections already have safeguards in place. Voters present identification, and that identification is checked against the voter registration rolls to confirm they are eligible to vote. So why add more hurdles?

Requiring a passport or birth certificate to vote creates yet another hurdle for eligible American citizens. As Scott Reilly points out, many Americans do not have a passport.

I am not a career politician, and this isn’t a career move for me. I am going to Lansing for one reason: I care deeply about my community and the people who live here.

I grew up under a brutal dictatorship where voting was nothing more than a performance. The dictator always “won” with 99.99% of the vote—and he was the only name on the ballot.

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS! I am looking for Poll Greeters to stand at the polls on August 4th. This is a special and important volunteer position, as it is the last time voters are contacted by the campaign. If you are interested, please scan the QR code or follow this link.

I am the incredibly proud mother of two boys who were raised right here in Michigan. Today, one is practicing law in New York, and the other is in Tokyo on a Fulbright scholarship.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with voting rights activist Scott Reilly. One thing became very clear: we continue to create barriers to voting based on the fear that non-citizens are casting ballots.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of speaking with the next generation of builders and contractors at Oakland Community College. I loved sharing my journey as a builder and real estate broker, and encouraging these students as they launch their careers.

True representation requires a diverse perspective and real-world experience. As the only woman and the only housing expert in this race, I bring a unique voice and a critical skillset to the table. My perspective isn't shaped by political insiders or money.

People who are eligible and want to vote should never have to worry about finding childcare, taking time off work, or paying a price to cast their ballot. In a democracy, every voice matters.

As a housing expert with nearly 30 years of experience as a builder and real estate broker, I look at Lansing and see a troubling gap: too few policymakers truly understand why Michigan has a housing crisis—or how to solve it. I’m running because I do.

Walking in the Beverly Hills Memorial Day Parade is a privilege I do not take lightly. I grew up in a dictatorship, where moments like this weren’t possible.
