A college student who used her personal experience with cyberbullying to lobby for a change to Michigan law is attending President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. Haley Petrowski, a junior at Adrian College will be the guest of Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, at Tuesday's speech. Petrowski, 21, said she pressed lawmakers in Lansing to introduce legislation that then-Gov. Rick Snyder signed in December. It designates cyberbullying as a crime punishable by up to 93 days in prison or a $500 fine. And Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Southfield, invited political strategist Glynda C. Carr, who co-founded a group that aims to expand and support the leadership pipeline for black women.
