It taught me a lot about leadership and how long the tail a tragedy like that can have on the life of a community. To Oxford educators, and to all who are about to step into the classroom, thank you for your leadership, and for the hope and strength you carry for your students and communities.

This morning, I joined Oxford Schools’ teachers and staff as they officially kicked off the school year. Oxford will always hold a special place in my heart. It was here, after unimaginable tragedy, that I saw a community come together and carry one another through the darkest moments.
Politicizing intelligence to fulfill some political motive instead of protecting the country is dangerous, and we have to call it out when we see it.
We need an all-of-the-above approach to energy if we actually care about bringing down costs.
This graph explains why the middle class is squeezed. To lower energy costs we should streamline permitting, rapidly generate more energy of ALL forms, and modernize transmission infrastructure. President Trump is killing new energy projects bc they're "woke" + threaten traditional energy lobbyists.

Trump’s trade war risks undoing Michigan’s hard-earned progress
Commentary from Rick Haglund
michiganadvance.com/2025/08/18/t...
Congress must hold social media companies accountable for using algorithms that get our kids addicted. If we've learned anything from the internet revolution, it's that the tech industry will not police itself.
Michigan is the cherry capital of the world, but growers are facing death by a thousand cuts. Tariffs and the freezing of USDA grants only make it worse.
Either you are at risk of losing your health care because of President Trump’s Big bill, or you are at risk of paying more.
People want government to get back to basics. To help them get a good job, to buy a house, to make sure there is affordable health care and energy costs are low. Government has lost the ability to do the fundamentals, and we need to get those right.
In Michigan we grow things, and we're good at it. But forces beyond a farmer’s control make reaching new markets difficult. Our bill strengthens programs around biobased products to support farmers and improve their ability to sell to biobased producers. www.michiganfarmnews.com/new-markets-...
Michigan is leading the next era of defense innovation. I was proud to showcase Michigan's strong manufacturing tradition of fifth- and sixth-generation tradesmen, who are building precision tools with AI and tech of the future. www.defensenews.com/land/2025/08...
Honored to join thousands in Novi for India Day, celebrating 78 years of India's Independence! From great eats to performances to community pride, today highlighted India's rich history and the contributions of the over 100,000 Indian-Americans in Michigan who strengthen our state every day.
This is not normal. This is not how Americans of all stripes believe their government should engage. It’s un-American. And it’s a purposeful distraction from the president’s failure to do the one thing he promised: bring down costs for the American people. 3/3
Our country was founded in response to rejecting a king who abused his military in our streets. Because of that history, the laws the President is using were written based on the idea that the President would be an honest broker on the use of force. 2/3
The President is using a well-worn playbook in Washington, D.C., exploiting his authority to federalize the police force and deploy the National Guard -- laws that were meant as a last resort and in the case of an extreme emergency. 1/3
And cuts mean real impacts to real people here in this community. Higher premiums, more uninsured, and hard choices about which services may need to shut down.
I toured the Community Health and Social Services Center where I heard firsthand what this 55-year-old health center in SW Detroit is facing in light of Medicaid cuts from President Trump's bill. They offer state-of-the-art care, a community garden, nutrition classes and services that change lives.
It’s always important to hear directly from leaders about how federal changes impact them, and how I can help.
