The outgoing Democratic minority leader of the Michigan House is giving her take on what her party will do next year with the majority

Observers have wondered whether Democrats will take on their policy wish list right away or move slowly to avoid risking their newfound majority.

Current Democratic Minority Leader Donna Lasinski predicts her party will focus on economic growth and workforce readiness while also hitting priorities like gun control and re-evaluating right to work.

That’s a Republican-backed law that bans requiring employees to pay union dues.

“How that looks, if it’s a new concept that’s introduced, if it’s a repeal, I strongly believe and look forward to that conversation happening and that being crafted.”

Republicans argue repealing “right to work” would put Michigan’s economic future at risk
