Democratic lawmaker shows up to vote at Michigan Capitol a day after positive COVID test

LANSING, Mich. — A Michigan state representative came to the Capitol on Thursday to cast votes, despite testing positive test for COVID-19 the day before.

Rep. Natalie Price, a Berkley Democrat, cast her vote from the gallery as the Michigan House held late night votes to pass an increase to the Earned Income Tax Credit, a repeal of some taxes on retirement income and a $946 million supplemental budget, the first-term lawmaker disclosed Monday.

Price acknowledged her positive coronavirus test in a Facebook post Monday evening after Bridge Michigan reported on her attendance. The Lansing newsletter Michigan Information & Research Service reported on her votes from the House gallery and COVID-19 diagnosis Thursday.
