Today we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was born on this day in 1929. While his life was tragically cut short, his legacy has lived on for generations. It is our duty to continue following in his footsteps in our work toward freedom and justice for all.

I'm so excited to get back to work on @transportdems.bsky.social and the House Small Business Committee! From improving our infrastructure to expanding opportunities for local entrepreneurs, I'm eager to keep delivering for West Michiganders on my two committee assignments in the 119th Congress.

As a mom, especially one who saw the horror unleashed on our young athletes by Larry Nassar here in Michigan, I can't stand behind something that puts our kids' privacy and safety at risk. My vote was for our children.

Today I voted NO on H.R. 28. I’m all for safety & fairness in sports, but this is a reactionary bill that endangers children. This bill opens the door to routine genital exams on kids— kids could be required to “prove their gender” via invasive inspections by unfamiliar adults.

West Michigan’s diversity is what makes our community so great, and this Korean American Day we honor our Korean American neighbors and their lasting contributions to our nation. Today is also a great day to support a local Korean American-owned small business!

“According to a map, it’s a long way between Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Plains, Georgia. But distances have a way of vanishing when measured in values, rather than miles…” What remarkable words from President Ford—we are so much more than our politics.🧵

14 years ago, we lost 6 innocent lives and nearly former Rep. Gabby Giffords, who I’m honored to call my friend. Gabby’s miraculous recovery and work to end gun violence are nothing short of heroic. Today we honor the lives lost in Tucson and recommit to ending gun violence everywhere.

I’m praying for the communities impacted by the fires in Southern California as well as the brave first responders working tirelessly to mitigate the flames. These extreme weather events have become far too frequent due to climate change. We must act now to protect our planet.
