    • Leadership roles in the Michigan House: chair and vice‑chair positions on multiple Appropriations subcommittees (General Government; Transportation; State Police/Military and Veterans Affairs; History, Arts and Libraries), membership on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Community Health, membership of the Medicaid Task Force, and service as majority caucus vice chair.
    • Advocacy for arts and culture funding, including championing an appropriation of over $2 million in federal relief to support cultural institutions affected by COVID‑19.
