I am pleased to announce that my campaign has been awarded the 2026 Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction. This is a signal to supporters, volunteers and voters that I advocate for gun violence prevention and will govern with gun safety in mind.

Michigan has made great strides in passing policies to prevent gun violence, but there are still comprehensive approaches that we can take to decrease the numbers of injuries and deaths. Things like strengthening and educating about safe storage requirements, strengthening domestic violence protections, and enacting laws that prohibit the sale, transfer, and possession of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

While RFK Jr. is busy deciding whether co***ne belongs in the grains group and he**in counts as a fruit, Michigan families are wondering how they’re going to afford groceries. If he and Rep. Bill Huizenga genuinely cared about nutrition, they could start by supporting the restoration of SNAP and WIC benefits that Republicans cut. Those cuts have hurt West Michigan from infants to the elderly. Virtue signaling with a cross-country tour isn’t going to put food in anyone’s mouth, but you can be sure neither RFK Jr. nor Bill are going hungry!

“Advocates note that evictions are rarely borne out of chronic financial failure, but are instead triggered by sudden, short-term emergencies — such as a medical bill, a sudden job loss, reduced working hours, or a broken-down vehicle. Left unchecked, these minor setbacks can cascade into long-term financial ruin, severe family stress and homelessness.”

If you have ever said, “Someone should do something about this mess,” this is one of those moments where you can do something!

“Kleinjans for Michigan” signs are going up all over the district. If you would like one for your yard or office, you may pick one up at the Allegan County Democratic Party office or the Ottawa County Democratic Party - Michigan office. If you cannot work either of those stops into your schedule, visit this link, enter your information, and I will make sure one is delivered to you.

This is your chance to be part of the change and to move West Michigan forward, together!

Imagine being so committed to broadcasting your bigotry that you will interact with complete strangers just to make sure everyone knows about it.
