The risks Big Tech exposes our kids to are far too high - from predatory algorithms, to AI chatbots, to data mining - we must make real change to protect Michigan's kids.
London Gadd was just 12 years old when she died by suicide after being exposed to self-harm content online. No mother should have to mourn the loss of their child due to an addictive algorithm.
Delivering for Michigan families has never looked so good 🎥✨😎

This legislation is collecting dust in the Republican-controlled House while Big Pharma continues to rake in record profits.
We remain committed to lowering daily costs for working families. That's why we proposed creating a Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) to ensure fair and affordable drug pricing, helping Michiganders save money on essential medications.
When we commit to building a support system that truly works, our students don’t just get by - they thrive. Through critical investments from expanding CTE opportunities to providing free school meals and delivering record per-pupil funding, we’re creating real momentum and real results.

We are dedicated to Michigan values and Michigan families. From lowering daily costs, to ensuring opportunity for future generations, to delivering essential services for families across the state, we have and always will be dedicated to the creation of a better Michigan. #MiSOTS

We’ve been fighting for over a decade to bring greater transparency to Michigan’s executive and legislative branches with FOIA. It's time that Michigan joins the rest of the nation, finally letting the light shine into the halls of power.
Teachers and students shouldn't have to compete with addictive social media during instruction time. That's why Sen. Dayna Polehanki and MI Senate Dems took action to help our students focus in the classroom.
