Ive been in the legislative branch and now the executive branch and in each case I felt it was important we use our constitutional responsibilities to the fullest.

I wish we could have acted quicker on Detroit or other failing schools.

Believe me, I'm not going to try to get into testing.

I have an old saying that the harder I work, the luckier I get.

I care about the children of Detroit.

I expect my next job to be outside government.

Redistricting is one of the purest actions a legislative body can take.
