U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Rochester) held a roundtable discussion Tuesday on voting with some Michiganders who aren’t even eligible to cast a ballot.

She was joined by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Voters Not Politicians Executive Director Nancy Wang and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan voting rights strategist Sharon Dolente.

Their audience in Livonia was a dozen Farmington Public Schools government students. The experts talked about the importance of voter participation, especially for young people. 

U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Rochester Hills, is hosting her fourth town hall on Thursday in Livonia. 

The education-focused event will be held at 6 p.m. inside Kehrl Auditorium on the campus of Schoolcraft College. Although ID's will not be checked prior to admission, residents of Michigan's 11th Congressional District are being encouraged to attend the informative event.

Over the past three months, Stevens has hosted town halls in Plymouth and Milford along with a tele-town hall in late March from her Washington D.C. office. 

Congresswoman Haley Stevens, D-Rochester Hills, is hoping that a local advanced technology program will continue at Oakland Community College. 

To make sure that happens, Stevens, along with 23 other U.S. representatives, submitted a funding request letter to the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies. 

In 2017, women in the United States earned 82 percent as much as men, meaning it would take women an extra 47 days to earn the same amount. A JAMA study published in early March revealed this financial discrepancy extends into the sciences, in the form of research grants. Men, on average, are awarded larger grants than women from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as first-time principal investigators — a difference that experts say places female scientists at a major disadvantage. 

Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens has introduced her first sponsored bill as a newly-elected member of Congress. 

On Tuesday, Rep. Stevens, D-Rochester Hills, introduced the Building Blocks of STEM Act, which directs the National Science Foundation to more equitably allocate funding, with a focus on supporting STEM education research on early childhood. 

The bill also directs the NSF to support research on the factors that discourage or encourage girls to engage in STEM activities, including computer science.

Wages, climate change, immigration, underfunded education and the next president were among many topics Congresswoman Haley Stevens touched upon in a town hall meeting Wednesday night in Milford.

A few hundred people attended the event at Milford High School in which the representative for the 11th District, which includes communities in western Wayne and Oakland counties, addressed written concerns submitted by constituents and presented to her by staff members.

Congresswoman Haley Stevens, D-Rochester Hills, wants to make sure the services of her office are accessible to the people she represents. 

That's why the first-term U.S. representative will be hosting pop-up offices throughout Michigan's 11th Congressional District on a monthly basis. 

On Tuesday, her district staff set up shop at the Troy Public Library to help residents with issues related to immigration, the Internal Revenue Service, Medicare, the Social Security Administration, and Veterans Affairs. 

U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Rochester Hills, will be hosting her first townhall as a member of Congress on Sunday in Plymouth.
