    Our children are the living messages we send to a future we will never see. The question is how will we send them into that future. Will we rob them of their destiny? Will we rob them of their dreams? No. The state has failed the people of Flint. It's up to us.

    The Flint water crisis was a man-made disaster. Lead exposure can have lifelong impacts on neurological & behavioral development. 4 years later, Flint families are still using filters & bottled water. This is unacceptable. Public health must be a priority.

    Today, I discussed gun violence prevention w/students from Royal Oak High School & Lincoln High School. For them, the stakes are real & life changing. Sadly, House GOP leaders have refused many proposed solutions.

    Michigan Senate voting today on a bill without knowing its full consequences on the health of Michiganders was a mistake. One outside report suggests roughly 150,000 could lose Medicaid, including many who are already working.

    House GOP leaders drag their feet while lives remain in limbo. It’s past time for the House to debate bipartisan solutions. I am a cosponsor of H.Res.774, a bipartisan rule that will allow us to do that.

    If today’s legislation was only about hiding the real Republican record on rising debt, it would be bad enough. But this measure also paves the way for devastating cuts in critical programs, including Social Security & Medicare... See my BBA statement:

    The pay ratio gap in MI is 78%. Women have to work longer to put food on the table, pay for education, purchase a car or a home, and save enough for retirement. It is far past time to close the gap.
