Legislative Updates
Earlier this week Governor Whitmer signed into law the Clean Energy Future Plan bill package in Eastern Market, surrounded by state leaders and climate activists. This legislation took months to get across the finish line, and I’m proud that we have taken the necessary steps to fight climate change and improve energy reliability across our state. Not only will this bill package put us on the path towards 100% clean energy by 2040, but it will also lower energy costs by an average of $145 a year and create over 150,000 new jobs across our state. Our work on this front isn’t finished, and I look forward to continue protecting our state’s environment and natural resources in 2024.

I was proud to join local leaders in Romulus last week for a turkey giveaway to help those in need around the holidays. It was great to see so many of our Romulus friends and neighbors, and my team and I are planning on attending more similar events in December to give back.
Later that day, I stopped by the Flat Rock City Council meeting to present my friend Mayor Hammond with a state of Michigan tribute for the work and leadership he has given to his community. It has been a privilege working alongside him for the last year as Flat Rock’s State Senator, and we thank him for all he has done for Flat Rock since taking office. We wish him the very best of luck as he enters this new chapter.
