Priorities
Meeting the moment
Carol’s already accomplished a lot in a few years in Lansing. As a State Senator, she’ll be able to do even more to help families like yours on everyday issues, while supporting a Democratic majority standing for our community’s values.
Improving education, from toddlers to the trades
Carol channels her decades of experience in education into delivering for West Michigan’s students.
While Republicans propose unprecedented school cuts, she’s fought back to ensure classrooms have the resources they need. She’s secured improvements for the whole student at every age across Michigan—expanded quality early childhood education, guaranteed school meals, and new in-school health clinics. As chair of the Higher Education Committee, Carol secured investment supporting training at Grand Rapids Community College in skilled trades, nursing, and early childhood education, plus tech innovation at Grand Valley State.
As your State Senator, she’ll fight for our students like any teacher would.
Making West Michigan affordable for working families
Families are all feeling the pain as housing, grocery, and healthcare costs skyrocket. With the federal government’s unpredictable tariff strategy, consumers are spending more and getting less, and small businesses struggle to plan.
While Republicans try to cut the services people need most, Democrats deliver real relief, like repealing the retirement tax and expanding the working families tax credit. In the State Senate, Carol will continue to support changes that make money a little less tight for West Michigan families, even in the face of harmful federal policies.
Carol is proud to support working families while also backing small businesses that keep our communities strong. She was endorsed by the Michigan Retailers Association (last House race) and is honored to be named Small Business Legislator of the Year.
Strengthening healthcare services and research
Carol has a strong track record working for better healthcare, today and tomorrow, in West Michigan.
With the Medical Mile right here in Grand Rapids, our district is at the cutting edge of medical research and treatment. Working with Governor Whitmer, Carol has helped secure funding for breakthroughs in cancer and Parkinson’s disease research—investments that support jobs today and could save lives in the years to come.
While federal and state Republicans are cutting funding and access to healthcare, Carol delivers improvements. She’s helped erase millions in medical debt for working families in West Michigan, and secured funding to open health clinics in schools, ensuring students have access to quality treatment.
In the State Senate, Carol will keep fighting to ensure every family can access affordable, quality care—no matter their ZIP code.
Championing Pure Michigan
As a former board member with West Michigan Trails, Carol recognizes the value of the natural beauty of the district. Our trails, parks, and waterways not only provide easy access to the great outdoors in an urban setting, they are a valuable economic asset drawing thousands of visitors annually. As a member of the Great Lakes Legislative Caucus, Carol works with leaders across the Great Lakes region to monitor and create policy that protects our water quality and usage.
