HEALTH CARE: What specific steps will you take in Congress to address healthcare affordability, access, and quality for the people you represent?
I believe healthcare is a human right. I will fight for Medicare for All to guarantee comprehensive healthcare coverage for every American. I will work to lower prescription drug prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies, protect and expand access to reproductive healthcare, strengthen community health centers, and invest in preventive care. I will also support measures to address healthcare workforce shortages so patients can receive timely, high quality care. Everyone deserves access to affordable healthcare regardless of their income, employment, or ZIP code.
ECONOMY: What policy initiatives do you support for residents to earn a living wage and address the overall question of affordability across Michigan?
When I talk to people, they’re not asking for miracles. They want to be able to afford groceries, gas, rent, childcare, healthcare, and retire with dignity. I support Medicare for All, universal childcare, raising wages, strengthening unions, guaranteed paid leave, strengthening Social Security, and a fair tax system. I believe our taxpayer dollars should be invested in infrastructure, education, and healthcare, not used for illegal wars. I will fight for an economy where working people can build stable lives, with good paying union jobs, pathways to homeownership and where public support programs are treated as economic dignity.
ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY: How would you approach ensuring energy reliability, consumer affordability, and environmental protection in Michigan?
Michigan families should never have to choose between reliable energy and clean air, or affordable bills and a livable future. We must protect the Great Lakes, safeguard our air and water, modernize our grid, and invest in clean energy that puts working people first, not corporate profits. That means real accountability when utility companies drive up costs or exploit our communities. I support polluter pays laws ensuring corporations, not taxpayers, cover environmental damage. I oppose AI data centers in Michigan that risk straining our water and energy systems and raising costs for residents, because Michigan is not for sale.
IMMIGRATION: What is your position on due process, First Amendment, and Fourth Amendment rights for all Michigan residents, including noncitizens, and what changes, if any, would you support?
As the daughter of immigrants and an attorney, I believe due process, First Amendment and the Fourth Amendment are rights, not privileges. Free speech and protection from illegal searches and seizures apply to everyone in this country, including noncitizens. Watching masked ICE agents terrorizing our neighbors, separating families and shooting American citizens in the face should alarm everyone. I believe we must abolish ICE and prosecute agents who violate the law. I support immigration reform that is humane, lawful, and consistent with the Constitution.
