As the next Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party’s LGBT Caucus, my vision is to build an inclusive, equitable, and thriving society where the rights, dignity, and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals are prioritized.

My leadership will be grounded in equality, social justice, and intersectionality, with a commitment to amplifying the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals, advancing critical policy initiatives, and fostering a supportive and empowering community for all.

I aim to ensure that every LGBTQ+ person, regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic background, has the opportunity to thrive in a society that respects and values their unique contributions. Together, we will create a brighter future where LGBTQ+ individuals are protected, celebrated, and fully included in all aspects of life.
