I met with Delta frontline crew members to discuss the critical role aviation workers play in identifying and preventing human trafficking. I’m grateful for their leadership in protecting vulnerable people, supporting survivors, and helping hold traffickers accountable.

Our truckers make the world go round, especially here in West Michigan. I spoke with the Truckload Carriers Association about infrastructure funding, workforce development, and what drivers need to do their jobs safely and efficiently.

We’ve got serious work to do in DC this week so I needed backup! So glad to have two of West Michigan’s finest young men by my side this week as I do this work !

Want to thank a veteran this Valentine’s Day? Send in a valentine to our Grand Rapids office by February 7th! We’ll deliver all of them on our Valentine’s Day visit to our veterans. There’s nothing quite like a handwritten note to share our heartfelt gratitude with those who served our country.

Families rely on the Coast Guard when emergencies happen on Lake Michigan. Increased law enforcement efforts should not come at the expense of search and rescue missions or operations at Coast Guard stations in Muskegon and Grand Haven.

ICE made over 2,300 arrests in Michigan last year. In West Michigan, nearly three-quarters of those arrested had no criminal record — directly contradicting President Trump’s stated priorities. These actions highlight the urgent need for oversight, transparency, and accountability.

In a year, ICE arrested over 2,300 in Michigan – from teens at home to a dad getting coffee

Since President Donald Trump took office again, a new era of immigration enforcement unfolded. Arrest numbers more than doubled in Michigan as ICE escalated its efforts.

Thank you to the West Michigan Alzheimer’s Association for hosting Coffee with Congress. Alzheimer’s and dementia affect so many Michigan families, and I am grateful to the advocates and volunteers pushing for stronger research, better care, and real support for caregivers.

Congratulations to Kent Syverud on being selected as the next President of the University of Michigan. As a UM alum and experienced leader in higher education, I’m confident he’ll bring thoughtful leadership and commitment to academic excellence to this role. Go Blue! buff.ly/26YqyYI

Former University of Michigan law dean selected as next president, to replace Grasso

Syverud has served as the 12th chancellor of Syracuse University since January 2014, according to his Syracuse University College of Law profile.

I'm glad to see DTE Energy stepping up with a $15 million donation to help Michigan families stay safe and warm this winter by supporting nonprofits that assist with heating bills. No one should have to choose between heat and putting food on the table, and in Congress.

DTE Energy donated $15 million to three Michigan non-profits to help with winter heating bill costs.

I voted to lower health care costs because families across West Michigan are already stretched thin. Affordable, reliable care should not be out of reach.

January is National Radon Action Month. Radon is a hidden health risk in homes statewide, and testing is the only way to know if levels are high. Families in West Michigan have opportunities this month to get free radon test kits and learn more about keeping their homes safe.

On National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, we recommit to protecting the most vulnerable. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Justice for Exploited Children Act — to hold companies accountable and strengthen penalties for child labor exploitation. Our laws should protect kids.

Michigan’s lakes and rivers are a way of life here. Stocking nearly 19.5 million fish last year helps protect our outdoor traditions, support local tourism, and keep our waters healthy for the next generation.

To finish the year, the DNR stocked walleye, salmon, trout and muskellunge at 76 locations this past fall.

Families across West Michigan have spoken up about rising costs—and I’m listening. I’m putting your voices into action by working to lower costs and protect health coverage. As part of the Problem Solvers Caucus, I’m at the center of bipartisan conversations focused on affordability.

Walking away from international organizations is a mistake. American leadership depends on engagement, strong alliances, and showing up to solve global challenges. Isolation only weakens our influence and our security. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Proud to see West Michigan leaders stepping up to connect students with local employers and real career pathways. Programs that help students explore careers, build skills, and make connections without barriers strengthen our workforce and expand opportunity for all. buff.ly/88Id05C

Local partnership seeks to help college students get direct access to West Michigan employers for career exploration

The Career Pathways will include engagement opportunities, site visits to businesses, workforce guidance, talks with industry professionals and more.

Congress is considering the FY26 Appropriations Minibus, and I’m fighting to make sure it delivers for West Michigan. This package blocks extreme policy riders and focuses on real investments that matter here at home, including public safety, clean water, and responsible innovation.
