CIVIL RIGHTS

As a gay man, the ability to legally marry my husband was life-changing and I will strongly oppose any efforts to demean or take rights away from LGBTQ people in Michigan.

The 8th House District is incredibly diverse. I recognize that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and white people often have different experiences and expectations for government officials due to the way racism has shaped our history and taints our present. I promise the people of HD8 that I will not lose sight of that thread and I will listen to my BIPOC constituents rather than making assumptions about what they need and want.

In addition, I will fight for voting rights and oppose every effort to disenfranchise voters or to place barriers between voters and their ballots.
