New Baltimore looks to bring marina project to fruition New Baltimore officials are working to bring a long-awaited harbor expansion to fruition.

Downtown New Baltimore’s access to Lake St. Clair makes it a true gem of our district. I'm grateful to partner with Mayor Semaan to bring state dollars back to the community to enhance their waterfront space for even more to enjoy.

Grateful for the conversations I had with local business owners and bartenders from Baffin Brewing and Copper Hop today. We’re all in agreement that the Legislature needs to put politics aside, find compromise, and deliver solutions on tipped wage and paid sick leave.

What do teachers, police officers, and firefighters all have common? 
  
They're about to get hit with a steep increase in health insurance costs because House Republicans are blocking critical legislation to fix the issue.

While I'm grateful this has been rescinded, it should have never happened in the first place.

It created utter chaos that left millions worrying if they could access healthcare, parents worrying about childcare, seniors about their Meals on Wheels deliveries. This was unacceptable.

Trump's decision to freeze federal funding is stopping $99 million from reaching Michigan police officers. 
  
It's one thing to say you back the blue. It's another thing entirely to actually show up for them and ensure they have the resources needed to keep our communities safe.

“I’ll check back on that.”
