Happy to have the support of Colonel Sanders!

After the ribbon cutting, @RepMarkkanen and I met with local constituents and government officials from around the county.

"A new pipeline buried in a utility tunnel 100 ft. below the floor of the Straits is the best & safest option we have for getting crucial energy resources where they need to go," says @RepMarkkanen on the #Line5 tunnel. ow.ly/oUhe50v4YMi

Do your thing Yoopers.

I was happy to help this evening with the restoration project at the Schoolcraft cemetery in Calumet.

I was happy to stop by the @MichStatePolice Calumet Post for the open house! Back our blue! 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

To all those that gave the ultimate for their Country, I give you my deepest respect and thanks. This Memorial Day weekend, remember those that lost their lives defending our freedom.

Great day hanging out in Western Upper Peninsula with @RepMarkkanen at the @redbull 400!
