“This is about more than education standards,” Johnsen concluded. “It is about who gets to raise and guide our children. Parents or the State. With this resolution and through the upcoming hearing, we are standing firm for Michigan families and for the rights of parents to decide what is best for their children.”

“This compromise was not everything we wanted, but it delivers real wins for Michigan families and small businesses,” Johnsen said. “We are fixing roads and bridges, supporting police to keep communities safe, and letting workers and seniors keep more of what they earn. I am also pleased that the budget provides funds for the Brown Road bridge project in my district. Even in divided government, we proved compromise can deliver results.”
