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.

If a pilot is flying in the same sky, they should follow the same safety rules. My Fatigued Pilot Protection Act makes sure cargo pilots get the same rest protections as passenger pilots. Safety shouldn’t depend on who’s on the plane.

Great conversation today with West Michigan labor leaders. From workforce training to fair wages and job site safety, these are the voices shaping our region’s economy. I’ll keep fighting in Congress to stand up for workers and make sure West Michigan jobs stay strong.

On Cost of Living Day, I’m doubling down on the work to lower everyday costs for West Michigan families. As a founder of the Lowering Costs Caucus, I’m tackling high prices, strengthening competition, and putting more money back in your pocket. Families deserve an economy that works for them.

Cold temps mean icy runways and higher costs for airports. That’s why I’m proud to co-lead the bipartisan FROST Act, which passed the House last September and helps airports cover de-icing expenses so travelers can get where they’re going safely and on time. Now it’s time for the Senate to pass this

I visited Ride YourWay in Caledonia today to see how they are improving access to non-emergency medical transportation across West Michigan. Lack of transportation should never stand between someone and their health.
