Issue Position: Clean Air, Water, and Land

Issue Position

I will continue to fight for clean air and affordable, safe and accessible drinking water. Michigan is a beautiful state with great natural resources -- including the Detroit River. I strongly believe that we need to protect these resources because a clean environment means healthier people. As the State Representative for the district where the Gordie Howe International Bridge will be built, I have been part of the team that successfully advocated for historic environmental and public health protections for the residents near the bridge. I led a bipartisan group of legislators to introduce legislation to improve accountability and transparency from asbestos abatement contractors. I am a strong supporter of clean and renewable energy. I was honored to be the League of Conservation Voters 2017 Legislator of the Year in recognition of my work introducing legislation to address air quality in Southwest Detroit and Downriver, successfully fight back against legislation that would have given a no-strings-attached tax break to a large polluter, and convene a bipartisan workgroup that has led to legislation addressing Michigan's water crisis that has support from both sides of the aisle.
