As we celebrate Juneteenth, it's important to reflect on the history behind this day and why it continues to matter.
In this clip from a conversation I had in 2022 with Dr. Aaron Dworkin, MacArthur Fellow, poet, founder of the Sphinx Organization, former Dean of the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance, and appointee to the National Council on the Arts, he shares the significance of Juneteenth and what it represents in our nation's history.
Juneteenth commemorates the day enslaved people in Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It is a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality. While rooted in the African American experience, its message resonates with all Americans: freedom is worth protecting, expanding, and celebrating.
I hope you'll take a moment to listen and reflect as we honor this important day.

After many years of paying into the system, I believe Michigan seniors deserve to keep more of their hard-earned retirement income.
That's why I supported repealing Michigan's retirement tax in 2023, which restores millions of dollars to retirees across our state and puts money back where it belongs in the pockets of Michigan seniors. At a time of rising costs, this tax relief has helped retirees keep more of what they earned through decades of hard work.
Supporting our seniors means delivering policies that provide financial security, which is a priority I will not compromise on.

Endorsement Alert!
I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the Michigan Nurses Association, especially in a district that is home to so many nurses, health care professionals, and families connected to Michigan's leading hospitals
I strongly believe nurses are on the front lines of our health care system every day, providing care and advocating for patients in some of the hardest moments of their lives. They deserve safe working conditions, fair compensation, strong retirement benefits, and staffing levels that allow them to provide quality care for every patient. I am proud to stand with members of the Michigan Nurses Association as they continue fighting for fair contracts and the resources needed to deliver safe, high-quality care.
Thank you to the Michigan Nurses Association for your support and for the critical work you do every day on behalf of patients and communities across our state. You are invaluable to our community.
