Priorities & campaign themes: “"Our community deserves a Representative who shows up, fights hard, and delivers real results."”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “Serving the people of Grand Rapids and Wyoming has been the honor of my life. Every decision I make starts with one question: Will this make life better for the people I represent?”
(Campaign website) Education & schools: “I grew up believing that where you live should never determine what you can achieve. That's why I've dedicated my career to expanding opportunity for the people and neighborhoods I call home. Whether serving on the Grand Rapids Public Schools Board or representing the 82nd District in Lansing, my mission has stayed the same: make government work for the people it serves.”
(Campaign website) Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Before serving in the Legislature, I spent six years on the Grand Rapids Public Schools Board, including two years as Board Chair. During that time, I also served on the City of Grand Rapids Master Plan Committee, Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. Board of Directors, the Southtown Corridor Improvement Authority, the Promise Zone Authority, the Convention Arena Authority, and the SmartZone Local Development Finance Authority. Those experiences gave me a firsthand understanding of how thoughtful planning, strong schools, and economic investment can create lasting opportunity.”
