Thank you Governor Whitmer for signing my bill into law. As we transition from old and outdated small scholarships, we are able to offer more funding to our flagship Michigan Achievement Scholarship, providing students with up to $5,500 every year.

Quote in white text on blue background with image of state capitol: "I am pleased to see Governor Whitmer’s inclusion of funding for water affordability in her proposed FY 2026 budget. Whether you have water coming out of your tap shouldn’t depend on how much money you have or where you live in the state. From big cities to suburban towns and rural communities in every corner of our state, more and more Michiganders are struggling to pay their water bills. Michigan has made significant strides to provide water assistance, and now is the time for Michigan to invest strongly in water affordability solutions and pass bipartisan water affordability legislation." - Stephanie Chang

Gov. Whitmer presented her proposed FY 2026 budget today and it includes many important investments in education, housing, substance abuse and more!

I am pleased to see the inclusion of funding for water affordability. Eager to keep our work going on this critical issue. #mileg #WaterAffordability

Executive Budget Day. Today, the Governor released her $83 billion dollar budget officially kicking off the State Budget process.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer, unveiled her executive budget today. Lots of investments in Education and Water. Looking forward to moving through the budget process this term.

My committee assignments for the 103rd Legislature. Honored to serve as the ranking Democratic member on two committees this term.

I'm very worried about #Michigan's #agriculture sector as a result of the #TrumpTariffs / #TrumpTax. We export so much of our products to our neighbors, and this could destroy our state's economy, not to mention the major effects on the auto and manufacturing sectors 😭

Today marks the begining of black history month in the US and Michigan! While we always honor the history and community of Black Americans, this month we spotlight the fight against oppression.”We all require and want respect. Man or Woman, Black or White. Its our basic human right” -Aretha Franklin

Trump’s Federal Funding freeze order has been rescinded. Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak out about this destructive directive.

My new Lansing office is coming together. Just me and some of my favorite women in history.

Is it true? Sonic and Knuckles back together for playoffs 🦁

I’ll be there!

“We could do this all day, we’re not going anywhere.”

I am so damn proud to be a Michigan Senate Democrat.

Thank you Senators for all your hard work

If you haven’t had the chance, make sure to thank your Michigan State Senators.After hundreds of Senator’s bills died on the House floor, they took a stance to finish the good work for the people of Michigan, staying in session for well over 26 hours to pass MI House bills.

Thank you Senators 👏👏

The Michigan Senate has now been in session for 25 hours, and we are passing bills to:

✅reduce gun violence ✅enhance public transit
✅help public employees ✅improve school safety
✅make name changes easier for trans folks
✅support returning citizens
...and more!

WE WANT MORE

State legislators introduce bills to require inclusive history lessons in schools - WDET 101.9 FM Democratic state senators introduced two bills on Tuesday that would require Michigan schools to teach more inclusive history lessons.

This curriculum is about ensuring that every student sees themselves in the story of our country and is equipped to build a more inclusive future.

The Michigan House of Representatives passed my bipartisan legislation to make hearing aids for children more affordable.

No child deserves to live with untreated hearing loss, especially when we have the tools to make their lives and learning easier.

Thank you to everyone who came out for our Bloomfield monthly Community Conversation. We spoke about bill statuses for lame duck and what our resident’s priorities are.

Thank you Senator Jeremy Moss and Representatives Natalie Price and Sharon MacDonell for your guidance and expertise.

Thank you Great Lake Water Authority, (GLWA), for hosting me yesterday. I was so impressed by your operation and Ron was a great trainer and teacher.

Wonderful evening at the Birmingham/Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce event.

Spent the evening with Senator Jeremy Allen Moss, first at our monthly Southfield Community Conversation and then thanking our election workers at the Bloomfield Township meeting.

Agree

As Chair of Higher Education and Community College Appropriations House Committe, I’m proud to offer budgets that are truly focused on students and their success.

“But I know nothing about 2025”… 🤔

Last week I testified in the Higher Education Committee on the State’s investment in student scholarships. As we transition from old and outdated small scholarships, we are able to offer more funding to our flagship Michigan Achievement Scholarship, providing students with up to $5,500 every year.
