STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 10, ARTSAKHPRESS: The swearing-in ceremony marked the formal opening of Michigan’s 100th Legislature.

The people of Michigan are tired of business-as-usual politics, and I am eager to bring a new voice and perspective to the House at a time when we need to work together to ensure the wellbeing of all Michiganders. Whether it is addressing the high cost of prescription drugs, fixing our roads, or properly funding our schools – I’m ready to get to work,” she said.
