This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave souls who gave their lives defending our freedom. Their sacrifice serves as a reminder of the true cost of liberty. Their courage and selflessness will forever be etched in our hearts. Let's express our deepest gratitude to those who died fighting for our country. We are indebted to their selflessness and unwavering dedication to defending our freedom 💙

Yesterday, I was interviewed by WXYZ-TV Channel 7 News about the recent deaths of 2 women at Huron Valley (the state’s only women's prison facility) 💔

I have had countless calls from constituents and concerned citizens (inside and outside the facility) about the conditions at Women's Huron Valley. I've toured and visited the facility, spoke to the women in there including Krystal Clark and others. I've sat down and had numerous meetings with MDOC Director Heidi Washington and her administration.

It's been years of neglect and I can't tell you how we are all fed up with the inaction of MDOC.

So we as legislators are standing with the community and calling for Director Washington to resign, as well as to close Huron Valley and move those women somewhere else for their safety & the safety of all people who have to work and visit there 🙏🏾

Good morning everyone & Happy Friday 🌞

Yesterday, I was interviewed by CBS Detroit at the Capitol discussing the House Republicans plan to cut property taxes without raising any revenue to replace those dollars.

I said I support a property tax cut, however their plan is completely irresponsible because the state of Michigan is already in a $2 Billion deficit due to the "One Big Ugly Bill" that DC Republicans passed last year making major cuts to our healthcare, food assistance, and other programs.

As currently written, this Republican plan will not only add to the deficit, but bankrupt our schools, local governments, as well as funding for infrastructure, roads and so much more.

Also, I spoke out on the front steps of the Captiol Building rallying and calling on the state to finally FULLY FUND HOME CARE 👏🏾

P.S. Shout out to SEIU & our Home Care workers as they negotiate for a fair contract with living wages and benefits for those workers who take care of our most vulnerable loved ones 💙

Good morning everyone, hope all is well & Happy Friday Eve 🌞

Yesterday, I was invited to speak at a press conference discussing my support for the Money Out of Politics ballot initiative that is based off our Taking Back Our Power legislation we introduced last term and reintroduced earlier this term.

I was quoted in Bridge Michigan saying:

McKinney, meanwhile, was bullish, saying that if the effort made the ballot “it’s going to pass. Mark my words.”

“You want to know why? Because both sides of the aisle, and everybody in the middle, agree that enough is enough,” McKinney said. “People are fed up.”

Are you tired of DTE and/or Consumers Energy raising your bills every other month? ✋🏾

Well, we have a solution to lower your energy costs. We're introducing the MOST PRO-PEOPLE & PRO-UNION Community Solar legislation in the nation. We're calling it the Affordable Community Clean Energy Savings and Solar Act (ACCESS) 💙

Earlier this week, we held a joint press conference with the Sierra Club, Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition, Vote Solar, Urban Core Collective, and others to discuss the bill.

Currently, I represent the poorest house district in the state of Michigan.

Our bill will GUARANTEE at least 20% savings for low-income households and 10% savings for all others, as well as create real labor standards and ensure community ownership over our clean energy future.

Thank you Kyle at the Michigan Advance for covering. You can read more here:
