01/17/2022 Tweet - "Today is a special day to honor & remember Dr Martin Luther King Jr. I'm sure he'd be horrified and furious to see Republican efforts across America to take away people's freedom to vote, including in Michigan. Let's honor him by stopping this attack on our Democracy.#MLKDay"

07/18/2020 Tweet - "Leader McConnell-John Lewis almost died marching for the Voting Rights Act. Why has a bill to restore that law been sitting on your desk for 225 days? Let's finally pass this bill next week and name it in honor of Rep. John Lewis."

06/10/2020 Tweet - "Sen. McConnell has been holding #HR4 in his legislative graveyard for 187 days. This bill would restore the Voting Rights Act & would end systemic barriers that keep communities of color from the polls. We must pass H.R. 4 now to end #VoterSuppressionInGeorgia & across the U.S."
