In her time as Grand Rapids Mayor, Rosalynn Bliss has proven to be a passionate community leader, and her partnership has been so valuable to me in Congress. It was great to have her at my office in D.C. before she begins her next chapter.

As the first mom to represent MI-03 in Congress, a family-friendly economy is at the top of my mind. I was pleased to host members of Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy to collaborate on ways we can continue helping families thrive – not just get by.
