Prior to her work as a Senator, Rebekah was privileged to serve the citizens of Ann Arbor as State Representative for the 53rd House District for four years. During her first term in the House, she received statewide acclaim for her ability to reach across the aisle and negotiate the bipartisan passage of landmark water protection legislation that effectively banned the diversion of Great Lakes water from outside the basin.

This term Rebekah's legislative priorities include continuing to preserve our precious natural resources, expanding access to health care coverage, investing in education, strengthening our economy, and defending our civil rights and liberties.
