I get asked all the time how I can be pro-choice and a Christian at the same time. It’s actually pretty simple. I’m not pro-choice in spite of my faith—I’m pro-choice because of my faith.

West MI is my home, & it’s a honor to be the Dem nominee to represent MI’s 3rd District. Let’s flip this Biden +9 seat & send a fighter for working families, for repro freedom, & the 1st woman ever to Congress from this seat. Let’s make history.

@spinning4light @GovWhitmer Thank you for joining us and supporting great leadership Linda!

@SweetLJo @GovWhitmer @SweetLJo thank you for being there and for your support of progressive candidates! The Fearlessness necklace you gave our Governor is perfect for her.

Packed house yesterday for our annual summer event - this year feat. our unstoppable @GovWhitmer. We're ready to get to work electing progressives up and down the ticket to fight for bodily autonomy, human rights, racial justice, fixing the damn roads and more. Join us.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

The dangerous, violent rhetoric in this nation has to stop. Lawmakers working together across aisles should be celebrated, not vilified. I’ve always known @RepFredUpton to follow his heart, and he put his constituents first with his vote. https://t.co/4QeeTgLGfR

Representation matters in eliminating gender-based economic discrimination. We see you @WinnieBrinks, @PadmaKuppaMI41, and all of those who championed this issue for several years to get this to @GovWhitmer’s desk and over the finish line. Thank you.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Today, I eliminated the tampon tax to lower prices for Michiganders. Repealing this unfair tax has been a long time in the making, but this is the year that we pulled everyone together to get it done.

[Michigan Planned Parenthood Advocates @mippadvocates]

Secretary of State @JocelynBenson has taken action to ensure nonbinary Michiganders can access driver licenses with accurate information about their gender identity. Thank you, Secretary Benson! https://t.co/02yNki2Lhh

[Hauenstein Center @HauensteinGVSU]

What's now and what's next for conservatives and progressives alike? We tackled this and other questions pertinent to our body politic at this year's Progressive Conservative Summit. See the keynote addresses and panel sessions on our YouTube page!

Thank you everyone for standing strong to protect our reproductive rights! The stakes have never been higher for women across our country! #WomensMarch2021

@mattyglesias But the best practices station design and boarding of Grand Rapids’ @TheRapid did win you over!

A weekend of civil, engaging debate. PWA was proud to again co-sponsor the Annual Progressive - Conservative Summit @HauensteinGVSU with the Pres. Ford Museum. Excellent discussions by @janecoaston, @DavidAFrench, @mattyglesias, local leaders.

@WinnieBrinks @gretchenwhitmer Thank you @WinnieBrinks for being on the forefront of this issue since 2012. Great to see that others caught on to the merits of your passion and joined the effort to provide the much-deserved improved care to Kent County's veterans.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

I have always stood with those fighting for their right to choose, and I will not stop now.

I call on the legislature to send @SenErikaGeiss’ bill that repeals our nearly century-old ban on abortion to my desk.

[Stephanie Chang @stephanielily]

Today, we adopted SR 30, my resolution condemning hate against Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. These senseless acts of violence, discrimination, & harassment are driven by hate & white supremacy — they must stop. 🧵 1/4

[Jocelyn Benson @JocelynBenson]

Grateful for servant-leaders like @PadmaKuppaMI41 & @stephanielily who have fought hate throughout their careers. As we mourn the murder of 8 Atlantans, incl 6 Asian American women, I'm grateful for their courage & stand with all who affirm that hate has no place in our society.

[Progressive Women’s Alliance of West Michigan @PWA_WMI]

Yesterday's devastating mass killing is not a coincidence. It is the result of a year's worth of disparagement of Asian individuals and four years' worth of misogyny at the highest levels of state and federal government.

[AdvancingJusticeATL @AAAJ_Atlanta]

On March 16, eight people were killed at three different spas in Georgia including six Asian women. We condemn misogyny, systemic violence, and white supremacy against our communities in all of its forms. Read our full statement at the link https://t.co/XHUJMKLnzR
