My number one priority has been — and always will be — getting things done for Michiganders. I know that the best way to make that happen is by working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
That's why I've been ranked the most effective Senator three times in a row.
The voicemail system in my Detroit office is currently experiencing technical issues. If you need to reach us please use the link below:

I just authored a report as Ranking Member of HSGAC which found that the 19 Inspectors General that President Trump illegally fired would have saved billions more than DOGE.
This is not an administration that's serious about saving taxpayer dollars.
Memorial Day is a solemn time to honor the heroic Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in uniform. We stand here today because of their unwavering courage and profound love for our country.
Their sacrifice is a debt we can never repay, and never forget.
American taxpayer dollars should be invested in American manufacturers and workers.
We’ve got to pass the STOP China Act to ensure the tax dollars that we invest in our transit operations don’t go to CCP-controlled companies.
The budget House Republicans passed this morning cuts $700 billion from Medicaid. They're trying to take lifesaving health care away from children, seniors, and people with disabilities so they can give a massive tax break to billionaires.
I will never vote for something like that.
I’m appalled & saddened by the murder of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C. last night. My heart is with their families, the Israeli embassy staff & those at the event where this vile attack happened.
We must all stand against antisemitism & hate-fueled violence.
The math on the Republican budget is pretty simple: Americans lose health care and food assistance while the richest people in our country get more money in their pockets.
It's fiscally irresponsible, and just plain wrong.
When I visited Guantánamo to see what the Trump Administration is up to, I learned that they're spending $100k a DAY per migrant detained there.
That's outrageous for a President that's telling everyone he's worried about waste.
Towns across Northern Michigan and the U.P. are still rebounding from extreme winter storms that hit the region earlier this year.
I'm calling on President Trump to declare a major disaster for Northern Michigan so communities can get the resources they need to recover.
Former President Biden and his family are in my thoughts following the news of his diagnosis. I’m wishing them strength as he begins treatment.
We can't be a great country if we don't actually make things, but President Trump's tariffs are raising costs for manufacturers throughout the supply chain — including for Grand Rapids-based Walker Tool & Die.
We need to support our workers, not hang them out to dry.
The good people at Walker Tool & Die in Grand Rapids make parts for cars, home appliances, and more. But President Trump's tariffs are making it harder to get the job done.
It was great to visit today and discuss how trade policy can better support Michigan manufacturing.
Eric Ueland will break the law as Deputy Director for Management at OMB. He's also more than willing to look the other way when it comes to Elon Musk's massive conflicts of interest.
That’s why I voted NO on his nomination.
It's way harder and more expensive to get the power back on after a storm than it is to make the investments to prevent a major outage from happening in the first place.
That's why I introduced bipartisan legislation to harden our power grid in Michigan and across the country.
Michigan is on the cutting-edge of developing new technologies that keep us competitive while creating good jobs for workers.
The American Innovation and Jobs Act would help ensure our small businesses and startups can continue to spearhead innovation.
Medicaid covers more than 2.5 million Michiganders. But President Trump wants to gut it and kick children, seniors, and people with disabilities off their health care — all to give a massive tax break to billionaires. I'm going to fight it every step of the way.
If President Trump accepts this plane from a foreign government, it’s not only a national security threat, it’s a $400 million down payment to benefit the Qatari government’s interests.
This is corruption, plain and simple.
Happy Mother’s Day to my incredible wife Colleen, my mother-in-law, and all the great moms in Michigan and across the country!
