As our country continues to grapple with COVID-19, state and local governments are already facing overwhelming revenue losses. If we don't receive additional support from the federal government, we could see massive layoffs for teachers, firefighters, health care workers, & more.
Right now we should be investing in people and our communities more, not cutting off our recovery because Washington is playing politics.
Today in the Michigan Statehouse, I introduced a bipartisan resolution calling on our Congress to provide immediate relief and address these shortfalls in order to prevent the disruption of community services.
You can read the full text of the resolution I introduced in the Michigan House here and see if your State Representative signed the resolution or not: legislature.mi.gov/(S(pzxlik2rewp…

First, the framing on this is dumb and intentional clickbait. Friends can have professional disagreements and act like adults.

Second, for everyone saying, “Why doesn’t Gov Whitmer...” Keep reading. A short thread. cnn.com/2021/04/12/pol…
...”the state official told CNN that Whitmer didn't have the authority to do so, pointing to how the Michigan Supreme Court had ruled last October that the governor had no authority to issue or renew executive orders relating to Covid-19 beyond April 30, 2020.”
The MI GOP has complained for months that they want to be involved in a process while refusing to act. Even when we reach a point where restrictions would have been triggered by case loads under their own bills, they still oppose action.

I was a gay kid growing up in South Dakota who said the words, “I’m gay” for the first time while riding my dad’s John Deere so no one would hear me.

13-year-old me back in 1996 couldn’t dream of a world where our lives and our love would be part of the American conversation.
Coming out to others happened in stages. A crush on a guy from the tennis team turning into my first boyfriend.

My first boyfriend turned into a question from my sister while she was brushing her teeth:

“Are you dating a guy on the tennis team?” “Yes. Pass the toothpaste.”
I got my start in public service advocating to make marriage equality the law of the land (before it was cool).

When I first ran for State Rep, it seemed I was too young, too gay, and too “not from here." I don’t remember its origin, but it's the story I started telling myself.

The latest fundraising numbers are in and we have GREAT news! Our campaign was able to raise over $377,000 from more than 4,100 contributions - making this our strongest fundraising quarter yet! #MI06
Not only was this our best quarter, but despite Congressman Upton pulling in nearly $185,000 from corporate PACs and other special interests groups, he only outraised us by $5,199. #MI06
While half of Upton’s money came from PACs, our campaign relies entirely on grassroots donors like you, and we've made this the closest race Upton has ever faced. You made this victory happen.

But we can't stop now.

THREAD: In the last week, we have seen our neighbors across the country demonstrate against injustice and inequality in our criminal justice system. They are hurt. They are angry. They are exhausted.

It is a heartbreakingly familiar reality. (cont)
The racism we see in our system is structural, and must be addressed as such. That means changing the laws, policies, and practices that prop up injustice and corruption in our criminal justice system - including here in #MI06. (cont)
Measures will vary from changing our approach to policing by requiring implicit bias training for law enforcement to identify and unlearn unconscious biases that perpetuate injustice to supporting programs that disproportionately impact people of color. (cont)

THREAD: Pride Month, celebrated all throughout the month of June, is officially underway. While many may expect a more traditional celebratory note to wish you a happy Pride, I feel obliged to reflect on the historical and contemporary importance of this month. (cont)
Many don't realize that Pride began 50 years ago in 1970 with the 1 year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. In 1969, a black trans woman named Marsha P. Johnson along with other LGBTQ individuals risked their lives to protest the over-policing of the LGBTQ community (cont)
and the injustice that threatened their existence on a daily basis. This protest became known as the Stonewall Riots and is credited by many for starting the modern-day LGBTQ equality movement. (cont)
