In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“"You give me one thing to work on, it's education," Tunney said. "The fact that we're 44th amongst the 50 states in fourth grade reading, fourth grade education, that can't stand. We cannot have that for the future of Michigan's economy. We cannot have that for the future of Michigan's democracy."”
