A field of dreams opening in Troy Former city councilwoman and current County Commissioner Ann Erickson Gault has been an advocate for the park since her time on the council.

Great article on the opening of the cricket field in Troy next month. I'm proud to have secured $1 million for this project in 2023, and I'm so happy it's almost here! Very soon, our cricket players will have a proper field to play this exciting sport. #mileg

I’m also proud to support legislation, introduced by my fellow House Democrats, honoring Lunar New Year, the Sikh holiday Vaisakhi, and the Muslim holidays Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. As our state grows more diverse, it’s important for us to honor Michiganders of all backgrounds. #mileg #nokings

NEW: I’m introducing a bill to recognize the Hindu holiday Diwali in Michigan! Observed each fall, Diwali represents the victory of light over darkness. A growing number of families in Southeast Michigan observe this holiday, and I’ve been honored to attend many Diwali celebrations in our community.

It's always a joy when Troy's own superstar disability activists, Allie and Dawn Hayes, pay a visit to the office. Allie is a member of the state's Developmental Disabilities Council and was in town for their Voices In Action advocacy day. Keep up the good work! #mileg

This bill - and the federal SAVE Act it mimics - create financial barriers that would prevent eligible citizens from voting. Your right to vote is sacred, and I won't let anyone take it from you. #mileg #mipolitics #nokings #resist

I just voted NO on the House Republican poll tax, which is what you call requiring a passport or birth certificate in order to vote. Michigan's elections are already free, fair and secure. #mileg #resist #nokings

In 2023, Democratic leaders in Michigan introduced free school meals for all public k-12 students. The program is saving parents hundreds every month and keeping kids fed and focused in school. In 2026, let's make it permanent!

I also requested. $150,000 for enhanced security at the Shir Tikvah synagogue in Troy. These requests would all help our community remain a safe, prosperous place to live and work! #mileg #resist

Today is Women's Equal Pay Day, and @mihousedems.bsky.social believe in equal pay for equal work. We want people to stay in Michigan and have good working conditions. As more and more Michiganders struggle with rising costs, women need to be paid what they deserve. #EqualPayDay #resist

Antisemitism is on the rise across the US, fueled by hateful, bigoted extremists. We must call it out, and we must fight for a world where all religious believers can practice their faith in safety. My thoughts are with the Jewish members of our community, who deserve our unqualified support. #mileg

The #BRITEAct is the strongest transparency and ethics reform proposed in Michigan in decades. But for all their talk about transparency, House Republicans have yet to join @MIHouseDems in taking action. Michiganders deserve more from their leaders this #SunshineWeek and beyond. #mileg

My heart breaks for West Bloomfield and Michigan's Jewish community. Antisemitism is evil and unacceptable.

Per NBC News, the children at Temple Beth Israel at the time of the attack were safely relocated to the nearby Jewish Community Center. If you need to go there to reunify with your children, please proceed carefully and be mindful that you may be asked to verify your identity.

Renewable energy, especially solar, is the CHEAPEST form of energy, and it's only getting cheaper. Don't fall for MAGA lies!

Michigan House Democrats believe you deserve lower bills, good jobs, and clean air. But House Republicans want to FULLY REPEAL Michigan's renewable energy laws, which would kill thousands of jobs and increase household bills. #mileg #energysky #resist

Great article in @bridgemi.com about the expansion of MiABLE, the tax-advantaged savings program for Michiganders with disabilities. I passed legislation last term to make this happen. This will help thousands of Michiganders with disabilities achieve financial independence and peace of mind. #mileg

More than a year has passed since the tragic death of a young boy at the Oxford Center, a freestanding hyperbaric facility in my district. As more Michiganders seek out this therapy, we must do everything we can to ensure patient safety in these facilities. #mileg
