Our state was one of the first to issue local warnings about the foam, and the dangers of swimming in it or eating the fish. This isn’t a partisan issue, it’s about clean water.

A grandmother shared her fear about sending her grandkids to YMCA camp. A veteran learned through a study that PFAS was in her blood. And a father shared he lost 3 dogs to cancer.
With the roll back of clean drinking water rules around PFAS, it’s time to start banging pots and pans about the impact in Michigan.
I teamed up with Great Lakes PFAS Action for a town hall in Oscoda to hear directly from folks living with the impact of PFAS contamination.
My legislation builds on the progress we made, extends the savings to more drugs, and helps more Michiganders who need relief from high costs.
No matter where I am or who I am talking to in Michigan, one of the most common things Michiganders bring up is the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs. Big Pharma should not be able to price gouge seniors. Period.

According to Sen. Slotkin, the Democratic Party can move forward, but only with an ironclad plan
This is a gruesome act of anti-Semitic violence, and domestic terrorism. It was intended to spread fear in a community that has already dealt with its fair share of mass attacks — and far beyond. Thank you to the first responders for acting swiftly. apnews.com/article/boul...
Took the wheel at Thunder Bay ⛴️⚓️
Got to join them for some real-time mapping of the floor of Lake Huron. If you love the lakes, science or shipwrecks, this team is leading on all fronts. From shipwrecks (over 200 you can explore!) to science, this sanctuary connects us to Michigan’s past and helps protect our freshwater future.
Continuing my tour on Lake Huron, I got the grand tour at the NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary — an incredible hub for education, research, and preserving Great Lakes history.
Sea lampreys attach on to fish and literally suck the life out of them, until there’s no fish to be found. We need support and research to win the war against this and so many other invasive species!
Yesterday, I saw firsthand how invasive and downright diabolical sea lampreys are — and what will happen to our Great Lakes if we stop work on this invasive species. To demonstrate how they they swarm, the scientists had me spit into a barrel of these suckers — and you can see the results yourself.
This is the nightmare that I want every Michigander to see if we don’t control the sea lamprey.
Hell no!
The Soo moves 75M tons of goods and is a national security asset for trade and transport for the whole country. It’s an incredible project to see up close. Now we need to push through the final funding to complete the project without delay.
Soo Locks! Today, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave me a first hand look at the $3.2 billion project of rebuilding a new lock, set to be complete in 2030.
Some of the proposed cuts, like the closing of Michigan’s only Bureau of Indian Affairs office, aren’t just optional programs — they’re treaty obligations, and part of long-held commitments between the federal government and Michigan’s native communities.
Events in DC are having serious consequences for Michigan’s tribal nations, from budget cuts to changes to social programs.
One of the highlights of visiting the Soo, was getting some time with Chairman Austin Lowes of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians and President Whitney Gravelle of the Bay Mills Indian Community.
The men and women who serve here come from all across the country, but I was impressed by how many are recruited from the local community.
Yesterday, I met with CBP and ICE Homeland Security Investigations officials at the Sault Ste. Marie Port of Entry.
This small but mighty port does everything from processing thousands of crossings to port of entry services for Great Lakes cruise ships & international flights into Chippewa County.
