As lawyers, we know every person, regardless of who they are, has a constitutional right to seek legal representation, and we should never penalize lawyers or law firms for carrying out their work.

With more secure financial backing, the GLC can continue spearheading region-wide efforts to keep our Great Lakes healthy and vibrant for future generations.
What are the types of candidates that win in purple states? That should be what we're looking for.
Today, all you have to do is turn on the news, and you’ll be hit by list of the challenges facing public officials.
But Michigan workers, consumers, manufacturers, and small businesses deserve transparency and clarity when the government imposes sweeping, chaotic tariffs that could significantly impact their lives and livelihoods.
That’s why I’m proud to see this bipartisan bill pass the Senate. This commonsense bill will help to protect our kids by ensuring contaminated formula doesn’t reach the shelves in the first place, and prevent another nationwide shortage…
That’s why I have long fought to ensure that federal conservation programs deliver for our Great Lakes.
The Great Lakes are a vital asset. They’re essential to our economy, our environment, and our way of life in Michigan.
This commonsense bill would build on that landmark law nearly two decades later by granting the Financial Stability Oversight Council the authority to better tailor regulatory oversight of certain financial institutions.
I fought tooth-and-nail to pass Dodd Frank to hold financial institutions accountable and prevent another economic catastrophe that devastated countless Michiganders.
I’m proud to again help lead this initiative to establish April as National Safe Digging Month to advocate for safe digging practices that protect Michiganders and utility workers as they build and maintain our critical infrastructure.
A strong workforce pipeline in the maritime trades is critical to both America’s national security and Michigan’s economy. I’m proud my bipartisan CADETS Act is helping students like Haley, and all those serving at the Great Lakes Maritime…
Cyber vulnerabilities in commercial satellites leave our nation at risk to attacks from cybercriminals and foreign adversaries, endangering American lives and livelihoods.

Millions of Americans, including President Trump, use this method to exercise their right to vote.
The Postal Service doesn’t care which politicians you may support, its only priority is to deliver the mail to every community in the country.
There’s no question this order is an attack on the right to vote, and it goes against the very heart of the free and fair elections that make our nation a strong democratic republic.
We must put forward bipartisan, responsible, and achievable solutions that allow us to make headway in any way that we possibly can.
These efforts alone won’t solve this problem, but we have to start somewhere.
I'm also proud to lead bipartisan legislation in the Senate that would examine how our national debt impacts our national security.
That’s why, just last month, I joined my colleagues in introducing a resolution that says by 2030 we must lower our deficit to only 3 percent of GDP.
Dealing with our national debt is no longer a down the road problem or something that a future Congress will have to be dealing with.
Our nation’s leading economists are telling us point blank, we simply don’t have time to waste.
Failure to address the national debt would mean serious economic harm for Americans in the form of higher interest rates, less money to support critical federal services, and slowed economic growth.
