Once again, I thank my colleagues for supporting this very important bill. The Great Lakes is important to the entire United States of America and to Michigan especially. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

Explicitly maintaining protections that prevent oil and gas drilling in the Great Lakes will provide certainty for the millions of Americans who call the region home while we work to improve Federal permitting. Mr. Chair, once again, I…

The majority is once again choosing to engage in a partisan, unproductive, and unserious messaging exercise that they have dubbed energy week. In 2023, the United States produced more oil and gas than any other country ever and exported…

As one of the only few who doesn't take corporate PAC money in this institution, I am here to tell you the truth, per usual. H.R. 1121 is a danger to all of our communities. The President must have a full range of tools to protect our…

This President has said grow the middle class, lower costs for people, grow the middle class and we'll see what happens here.

I appreciate that this budget invests in affordable childcare, helping people buy their first home.

I rise once again to address what could very well be one of the greatest ongoing environmental disasters in the United States. I am referring to the billions of gallons of raw sewage, industrial waste, and other pollutants that flow down…
