Will you ensure that this report comes to fruition first, and, further, do you commit to sharing it with Congress so that we can actually work together on those next steps in a thoughtful, fact-based way?
This was a serious failure on the part of NWS, and I want to work with you to help make sure it doesn’t happen again.
You know aging dams and increasingly frequent storms and more severe storms are basically all converging to create a real public safety challenge. We have no time to waste.
My state desperately needs these investments. This is old, aging infrastructure that needs to be improved to prevent the kinds of things we are seeing in Northern Michigan now.
We had record snowmelt and flooding in Northern Michigan that have pushed multiple dams to the state of brink.
As a father and grandfather, there is nothing more important than keeping our kids safe and healthy. Parents deserve the peace of mind knowing the formula they give their babies is safe.
I was proud to help secure this funding for the Port to make necessary upgrades that will improve operations and strengthen key Michigan supply chains.
The Port of Monroe plays a critical role in connecting Michigan to regional and global shipping partners, helping to safely and efficiently transport products that our families and businesses depend on every day.
We face big challenges, and they will require big solutions. Our democracy is at its best when we work together.

We must ensure our pipeline infrastructure remains strong. This bipartisan bill will help protect both public safety and our environment by working to prevent accidents and improve protections for this critical infrastructure.
The Northern Border Mission Center at Selfridge Air National Guard Base is a critical asset in safeguarding our nation’s security.
Unfortunately, this move by the Trump Administration is a step in the wrong direction, and will delay needed cleanup work at the detriment of public health.
Every person deserves access to safe, clean drinking water, but these forever chemicals continue to threaten the health and lives of people across our state and country.
This decision is extremely alarming and rolls back years of progress to rid our communities of toxic, deadly PFAS chemicals.
This commonsense, bipartisan bill would improve our understanding of how a history of animal abuse can lead to future violence, while directing needed federal resources to the local partners who work to protect our communities each and…
There is a clear connection between animal abuse and interpersonal violence, but more research is needed to help our communities effectively prevent and respond to red flags when we see them.
Our persistent work to secure the new KC-46 tankers and F-15EX fighter jets for Selfridge was a huge success for the base and our entire state.
As an avid motorcycle rider myself, I believe the best way to travel across Michigan is by motorcycle.
