When Michigan builds, union workers lead the way. Good to sit down with the Michigan Building Trades Council today to talk about what it takes to keep projects moving, grow the next generation of skilled trades workers, and make sure hard work still comes with good pay and strong benefits.

I met with Trinity Health leadership to talk about what matters most: lowering health care costs, strengthening our workforce, and expanding access to care. I’ll keep fighting for West Michigan families and the care they deserve.

I joined Grand Rapids Public Schools as they launched the first electric school buses in district history. I was proud to help secure $5.2 million through the EPA Clean School Bus Program to make this possible. Let’s get kids to school safely and with clean air to breathe!

It was great to meet with students from East Kentwood High School. I always enjoy hearing from young people who are engaged, asking thoughtful questions, and thinking about how they can make a difference in their communities. The future of West Michigan is bright.

Trump’s attempt to terminate TPS would be life-threatening for the 350,000+ Haitian nationals in our country & the communities they support. I voted YES on @RepPressley’s legislation to extend Haiti TPS and provide our neighbors with the critical protections they deserve.
