On our last day of session last year, I got a few photos with some of my colleagues who are not returning and that I will miss very, very much.

Today, I testified before the Michigan House Regulatory Reform Committee on House Bill 5786, which would reduce the required training hours for barbers from 1,800 to 1,500. This change was inspired by a constituent, the owner of Hair Lab Detroit in Southgate, who highlighted how the current requirement discourages students and creates financial burdens. At 1,800 hours, Michigan’s requirement is nearly 6 times that of EMTs and limits reciprocity with other states, making it harder for licensed barbers to move here and work. HB 5786 will lower costs, reduce program time, and attract more barbers to Michigan.

Today, I introduced House Bills 6047 and 6048 to expand healthcare access by ensuring coverage for women and individuals seeking IVF and other reproductive care. These bills aim to support families and address critical gaps in reproductive health services. Every Michigander deserves access to the care they need.

Thank you, Downriver. It has been an honor to serve as your representative in the Michigan State House on behalf of the 27th District. I am deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to work alongside so many passionate and dedicated members of our community. The voters have spoken and chosen a new representative. I wish them and our community success. Over the past two years, we’ve made a lot of progress. While my time in the state house has come to an end, my commitment to our community remains steadfast. I look forward to what the future holds.

We had the best time with @DebDingell at the Grosse Ile Halloween parade today. We even got to stop at the Grosse Ile Bakery for a Diet Coke and a coffee.
