Rep. Steele: Hateful ideas must be denounced

RELEASE|February 9, 2024

Contact: Donni Steele

State Rep. Donni Steele, R-Orion Township, released the following statement today regarding a recent social media post by State Rep. Josh Schriver, R-Oxford, promoting the great replacement theory, an ideological belief, rooted in conspiracy theory, that there is a coordinated effort to replace white populations.

“All people have a moral obligation to speak out against hate whenever it rears its ugly head – this is one of those times. As elected officials, we are the voice for our communities. We are held to a higher standard and must answer to all comments we make, including any and all social media posts.”

“Hateful rhetoric goes against everything I believe and distracts from the positive work we’re trying to accomplish for the people of Michigan.”

Donni SteelePOSTS|12.2.24

For the second lame duck session in a row, the favorite Christmas wish of mining conglomerates and opponents of local control has found its way before the Legislature. House Bills 6108 through 6111 would risk the health of our environment by stripping local governments’ authority to make zoning decisions for the communities they represent. This plan would […]

Rep. Steele: Taxpayer money belongs with the people, not big business

Donni SteelePOSTS|11.14.24

“We saw corporate welfare galore pass the House this week. Republicans and Democrats joined together to dole out taxpayer dollars to everyone other than the people who earned them. Last week, people came out in record numbers to demand the state embrace a strong, conservative economic future. Our infrastructure is crumbling, and school safety is still drastically underfunded, yet we spent session this week courting big businesses who don’t deserve our tax dollars in the first place.”
