Democratic presidential hopeful and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is planning two campaign stops in Michigan next week.

Warren will make her first appearance in the Great Lakes State on Tuesday, June 4 for a “community conversation” at Focus: HOPE in Detroit at 1:30 p.m., followed by a 6:45 p.m. town hall at Lansing Community College. The 69-year-old senior senator is the latest candidate to come through Michigan, recognized as a key 2020 battleground after President Donald Trump won by a narrow 10,704 votes in 2016.

Warren, 69, is focusing her campaign on economic issues and ending corruption in Washington. She pledged to “shut the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington.” Her campaign website includes promises to permanently ban members of Congress from trading stocks while in office and from becoming lobbyists when they retire.

She proposed an “ultra-millionaire tax” on the 75,000 wealthiest American families to partially fund universal childcare, student loan debt relief, and her “Medicare for All” plan.

Warren’s abortion rights platform, released after several state legislatures passed laws restricting women’s ability to terminate pregnancies, urges Congress to pass laws protecting access to reproductive care.

The plan includes federal laws to prohibit states from interfering in a person’s ability to receive abortion services and guarantee reproductive health coverage as part of all health coverage, among other things.
