As Ranking Member of HSGAC, I’m calling on Senate Republicans to do their jobs and hold President Trump accountable for his challenges to our nation’s constitutional system of checks and balances and rule of law.
Communities across Michigan lost power for weeks on end following the devastating ice storm that just hit our state. That shouldn't happen in America. That's why I've introduced a bipartisan bill to strengthen Michigan's power grid and prevent future outages.
Generations of brave Michiganders like Captain James McClain have answered the call to defend our nation. When Captain McClain’s daughter Sheri contacted my office for help receiving her father’s military awards, we were honored to step up and help recognize his service.
Public service workers devote their careers to making things better for folks all across our country — from Social Security recipients to veterans. This Public Service Recognition Week, I hope you'll join me in thanking public workers for all that they do.
President Trump is trying to defund the public media organizations our communities depend on for emergency notifications, news coverage and educational content that all ages can enjoy. Freedom of the press is essential, and I'll keep fighting to protect public TV and radio.
Congratulations to Michiganders Christina Danieli, Maxwell Gilbert, Alexandrea Rutledge, and Jeremiah Stumpfig on your incredible accomplishments at this year’s Special Olympics World Winter Games! You’ve made our state and our country proud. 🇺🇸
Frank Bisignano has made it clear that he won’t stop the Trump Admin and DOGE from making it harder for millions of Americans to access their Social Security benefits if he’s confirmed as SSA Commissioner. I’m heading to the floor right now to vote NO on Frank Bisignano.
We all know that the price of housing in Michigan and across the country is too high. President Trump's tariffs will only make the problem WORSE by spiking construction costs for new homes by as much as $10,000. I'm demanding that he reverse course immediately.
This Teacher Appreciation Week I’m thinking of all of our amazing educators, like my dad, who put in long hours and go above and beyond so their students can succeed. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the teachers I’ve had in my life. Thank you!
In his first 100 Days, President Trump levied a new National Sales Tax on American families that's already expected to cost the average household more than $4000 a year — including an extra $200 on groceries. So much for his promise of lowering prices...
Selfridge Air National Guard Base is the ideal home for future fighter missions. For years, I’ve pushed to bring a new fighter mission to Selfridge, and I’ll keep working until we get the job done.
From helping to secure KC-46A tankers to establishing the Northern Border Mission Center, I've been laser focused on strengthening the future of Selfridge, especially bringing home a new fighter mission to the base. County Executive Mark Hackel has been a great partner in that work.
Selfridge Air National Guard Base is critical to our nation’s defense and the ideal location for a future fighter mission. For years, I’ve been pushing to get Selfridge a new fighter, and I'm ready to work with the Administration to get the job done.
Americans pay into Social Security their entire lives. They deserve their benefits, full stop. I will fight any and all attempts by President Trump and his Administration to cut Social Security.
I strongly condemn the horrific terrorist attack in Kashmir. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. We must stand against this hateful violence, and work together to promote peace and stability in the region.
My office is already hearing from Michiganders who are afraid that this will undermine their children's privacy. RFK Jr. is misusing his position to collect Americans’ sensitive health data to push his own unfounded views on autism. This is dangerous and unacceptable.
Today, on Armenian Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the 1.5 million innocent Armenians who were murdered in the horrific genocide. I join our Armenian community in Michigan and across the world in mourning this tragedy.
