Happy to stand in support of my colleagues' #SafeStorage bills. 75% of children in homes with unsecured guns know where they’re kept, & too often, we hear about kids being hurt or killed accidentally by those weapons. Pass #SafeStorage laws, like HBs 5066-5069 and SBs 550-553. https://t.co/oPQO10MevH

Your vote is your voice. #SinceJan6, MI Republicans have introduced scores of bills attacking the #RightToVote. These bills would make it harder for people to vote. Our voices will not be silenced! Please check out this video: https://t.co/vpAqidVoYe #VotersDecide https://t.co/2pseCaLFjJ
