I am a huge supporter of Federal-State partnerships when it comes to protecting our waters and believe that localities and our States need to play a bigger role. However, this particular amendment is already in place. Without direct…

Mr. Chairman, again, you will hear no argument from me about the need for permitting reform. We do need reform, but this bill is not what we need. It doesn't just cut red tape. It cuts all of the tape that has protected our clean water for…

Mr. Burchett and I are both people of strong faith, so I can say I put faith over fear every single day, and I continue to do this job.

I want you to know when I go back to Washington, I do say to the Democratic leadership I’ve had a town hall, and you want to know what? Yes, people are mad at Republicans, but they’re mad at you, too, and they’re mad at us. They want us to…

As the first woman in history to hold my seat in Congress, I am always thinking about the history-making women of the past, present, and future. I am honored to highlight a few stories of history-making women Michiganders now. I am honored…

Clearly, history is still being made this Women's History Month as we have an unprecedented number of changemaker women from across the country who are standing up and fiercely defending their constituents. We are so grateful for their…

The United States won its independence 250 years ago in the Revolutionary War, and our journey as the United States of America began. Yet, 250 years ago, I could not be standing where I am today. Women did not have the right to vote, to…

I welcome my friends, family, and constituents back home in west Michigan to my Special Order hour honoring notable Black west Michiganders and the impact they have made on our wonderful community. Black History Month is not just about…

I am so pleased that my bill to rename the Comstock Park, Michigan, post office after Captain Miguel Justin Nava is being brought up for consideration today. Captain Nava is an American hero. He represented the best of west Michigan. It is…

I stand today to recognize the life and career of one of my incredible constituents, Minnie Forbes, the last living owner of a Negro League baseball team, the Detroit Stars. Minnie Forbes was born in 1932 in Mississippi and eventually…

I am encouraged to see the United States, Canada, and Finland coming together with the intent to establish an Icebreaker Collaboration Effort, or the ICE Pact.

I am just so grateful to you both for your service to our country.

We really do feel there are two hearings going on today, one about Boeing but one about the overall job that the FAA is doing.

I am thankful that we have had several productive conversations, but we are ready to move into the action phase.

I actually disagree that it flows naturally. While making the internal changes is the most important thing, the safety concerns that have been raised by high-profile incidents in the last several years permeate into the public conscience…

I am so proud of West Michigan's critical role in the transportation sector, but this CRA won't do anything to address the reality of the sector's emissions. This is not a mandate. It is an opportunity to innovate for families, for…

Michigan put the world on wheels, and we are going to keep it moving forward. We are proud of our legacy that is ever-evolving, thanks to the grit of the American worker. West Michiganders, in particular, are a key part of this legacy as…

The Sackett decision has undermined our ability in significant and meaningful ways to protect this precious nonrenewable natural resource.

To say this is an essential conversation is truly an understatement.

The stakes could not be higher. And, you know, I knew that I could not continue to hear these concerns to have them myself and not speak up.

We want to be able to present to them an exciting vision for the future.

That is why I introduced a bill called the Honoring Vocational Education Act, which changes the way the United States census tracks higher education.

I am a proud cosponsor of Mr. Collins' bill, as well, the expanded Aviation Workforce Development Act.

Many agencies in states where marijuana use is legal--including Michigan--are struggling to oversee the timely and accurate testing of their employees, exacerbating the labor shortage in the transit industry.
