Tim Walberg: “It is my belief that our greatest resource in Michigan is our people.”

As Michiganders, we know the long-term health of our fisheries is critical to our fishing industry, economy, and way of life.

From his courageous work as a Sea Devil helping to save the lives of downed pilots, to his decades of service protecting his community in the Riverview Police Force, Patrick has demonstrated unwavering dedication, courage, and sacrifice.

However, the Great Lakes have faced various challenges over the years, threatening our fisheries, economy, and recreational opportunities for Michigan families.

This clean, short-term continuing resolution will keep the government open, providing stability for hardworking Michigan families while Congress continues to complete the appropriations process.
