Why I'm Running

Before we talk about the important ways that we need to improve academic achievement, we must take steps to ensure that our young people and educators are and feel safe in their buildings and on their campuses. 

 

Guns have no place in or around schools. We all should be concerned with the gun violence we have seen occur all over America, and especially at places where we send our children. Michigan’s Legislature and Governor have taken important steps with commonsense solutions like requiring guns to be kept unloaded and locked up in homes where children are present, requiring universal background checks, and establishing extreme risk protection orders (“red flag laws”), but we have more to do in this sadly, continual fight.
