I take very seriously.

We don’t want to buy their technology cheap, become dependent on it, and then have all of our critical national security information going over there to be exploited by them.

I want to congratulate @WeWill2026 on winning the Democratic primary tonight.

He’s stepping up every single day to make sure that we bring more manufacturing jobs back to America, back here to Michigan, and I’m proud to stand with you today, sir.

My position on Arlington is that we ought to preserve the space available there for the purpose that it was designed for.

I think if you do the right thing for the right reason, the politics tends to sort itself out.

I think everybody thinks every politician is making decisions through a lens of what’s going to get them elected.

My job, regardless of who comes out of the primary, is to really convey my message to the voters in my district that sent me to Washington a little less than two years ago.

Absolutely, that’s a big deal to have the president of the United States come to your congressional district.

If you’re a 100% rated veteran and your family is covered under your disability rating as well for your medical benefits, you know, VA wasn’t originally designed for pediatric care, for example.

We’re devastated by the tragedy of what happened, but we want you to know that we stand behind you and your service.

One of the things that the secretary has been very adamant about, that I think has been a good thing, is having a standardized framework within the VA.

My American Dream Act incentivizes older Americans to sell properties valued under $500,000 to first-time homebuyers.

I vote my conscience for what I think is right and willing to accept that.

Congress alone declares war, that's something certainly we need to be protective of.
