It’s tax season, West Michigan. Visit michigan.gov/taxes/efile/... to see if you qualify to e-file your taxes for free, and reach out to my office if you have issues with the IRS or a tax return. Happy filing!
I am committed to making federal dollars deliver for West Michigan. That’s why I created a grants newsletter – to help local governments, schools, nonprofits, and organizations of every size stay informed about funding opportunities and resources. Sign up to stay in the loop.
Congratulations to the team at GRR on breaking another passenger record. Serving more than 4.3 million travelers in 2025 is a big win for West Michigan families, businesses, and visitors.

I’m so inspired by the students and staff at Calvin’s Life and Career Studies program today. Initiatives like this are opening doors, building independence, and creating real pathways to jobs and opportunity.
I met with Muskegon Family Care leadership today to hear directly about the challenges facing community health centers and the patients they serve. I’ll keep pushing to protect access to affordable, quality healthcare for West Michigan families.
Loved touring La Colombe’s West Michigan facility today and meeting the incredible team behind the coffee so many of us enjoy every morning. Thanks for the warm welcome and keep up the great work!

I loved spending time at the Humane Society of West Michigan today and meeting the incredible staff and volunteers who care for our community’s animals. From rescues to adoptions, their work makes a real difference every day. And yes, I made a new furry friend along the way.
Honored to receive the CWA People’s Champion Award from Communications Workers of America Local 4034. I am grateful for their partnership and proud to stand with workers across West Michigan as we fight for fair wages, strong unions, and safe, good-paying jobs.
