Happy Independence Day! We celebrated the holiday with a few of our best friends by walking in parades in Allegan, Dorr, Schoolcraft, and Saugatuck over the past two days.

Today is a day to celebrate the history and the potential of our nation. We have deep stains on our past, but our potential has never been diminished. I am proud to be an American and I am proud of all of the hard-working and selfless people who demonstrate their patriotism by fighting to rid our nation of bigotry, intolerance, and inequality of all types. We the people will make progressive reform a reality and create a more perfect union. #CreateTheChange
