Senator Lana Theis

@SenMarkHuizenga @SenJRunestad Last week, Democrats nominated a prosecutor for Attorney General who refuses to enforce prostitution laws. Today, every Democrat opposed @LanaTheis's amendment to ban grants from going to counties that won't enforce prostitution laws.

Happy Earth Day! While today is Earth Day, every day is a good day to recycle or pick up litter in your community.

He is risen. Today we celebrate Easter—the fulfillment of a moment in history that began more than 2 millennia ago, with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. For Christians, Easter marks the resurrection—symbolizing victory over sin, and the hope our faith provides. It is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is the opportunity for new life and new beginnings. As we celebrate today, may it be filled with hope, joy, and time with those who matter most. #HappyEaster #HeIsRisen

Today we reflect on Good Friday—a day rooted in history and faith, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ more than 2,000 years ago. For Christians, this day marks not just a moment of loss, but the foundation of hope that leads to Easter. It is a solemn reminder of sacrifice, service, and the enduring power of faith. Wishing you a blessed Good Friday. #GoodFriday #HolyWeek

Recently, I had the honor of presenting a State of Michigan Special Tribute to the Fowlerville Senior Center. While the tribute recognizes the Center, it’s truly a reflection of the leadership, members, and volunteers who bring it to life every day. Your dedication to serving seniors through meaningful programs, connection, and community support is what makes the difference. Thank you for all you do—we are grateful for your commitment and the impact you make across our community. #Fowlerville #SeniorCenter #Community #Michigan

Americans are voting with their feet. Texas +2.6M Florida +1.9M California, New York, Illinois—losing population. Michigan is holding steady—but we should be growing. Indiana has ~30% fewer people than Michigan—yet gained 3x more residents. That’s not geography. That’s policy. People go where opportunity is. Let’s make Michigan a destination again. #PureMichigan #PolicyMatters #Population #EconomicGrowth
