During the summer, there’s no better place to be than on the water. Bangor Township’s new canoe and kayak launch at Independence Park will make it safer and easier for everyone to have fun on the water with the whole family.

While mid-Michigan families are being crushed by his economy, President Trump keeps coming up with new ways to make money on insider trading. This is absurd. apnews.com/article/trump-…

🏠Buying a home is a cornerstone of the American Dream. We just passed the most important bill in decades to make buying a home and renting an apartment more affordable.

Young people who work hard should be able to find good-paying jobs, whether they go to college or not. I stopped by @GCILearns to see how they’re giving students hands-on training that gets them job-ready.

So this White House has billions for a ballroom and tax cuts for insiders and billionaires… but they're cutting money that helps seniors afford their medicine? This is outrageous.

Transparency. It’s the bare minimum we owe communities that have been impacted by PFAS chemical contamination. We set deadlines for the Department of Defense to step up. Instead, they pushed back cleanup timelines by decades with no explanation. We’re not going to stop pushing on behalf of the service members, veterans, and families living near these sites.

Investing in our Great Lakes, the Saginaw River, waterways, and water infrastructure keeps our water clean and our economy strong.

Five months into starting a war with Iran, President Trump has refused to share with the American people his goals and endgame. Instead, we get erratic broken promises and empty threats while he chooses to send brave service members into harm's way, spend billions of taxpayer dollars, and drive up costs back home. Yesterday, the House voted with the vast majority of Americans to demand an end to the reckless and unstrategic war. President Trump needs to listen.

Rep. Massie is right. This bill doesn’t prevent members from trading stocks, and it makes it harder for millions of Americans to vote… that's a bad deal. Insider trading is a huge problem. Enough with the games. The Speaker should put one of the comprehensive, bipartisan bills up for a vote and get this done.

Big news: Rx Kids is coming to 8 new communities in Genesee County! At a time when raising a family is more expensive than ever, this support for new moms & will help them make sure their babies have everything they need. Let’s keep it going!

Michigan is currently the epicenter of a public health crisis, but this Administration fired the experts who study & fight infections like cyclosporiasis. We're demanding answers & a plan of action from the CDC & FDA, because you deserve to know the food you buy is safe to eat. Local farmers and restaurants need Washington to step up.

Last winter, the Great Lakes lost a third of its shipping season because of ice cover. When ships are stuck, business slows down and workers fear they’re gonna lose their jobs. In December, the President signed my bill into law, which mandated the Coast Guard lay out their plan to update our icebreaking capabilities on the Great Lakes. Me and 19 of my colleagues from both sides of the aisle agree: it’s time to release those plans.

This is devastating news for working people in our region. We had new plants and good-paying manufacturing jobs coming to mid-Michigan, but this Administration’s chaotic tariffs, energy policy, and foreign wars are killing them. This is the reality of his chaotic policies – disappearing jobs for people who desperately need them. We urgently need a course correction.

Another case of Washington insiders using their positions to get rich. Let’s finally do something to stop it. I’ve got a bill to close the loopholes on insider trading once and for all.

This Administration’s ICE continues to create chaos on American streets and make neighborhoods less safe. They need to have the same training, standards, and oversight as every other law enforcement agency in this country. Yet extremists in Congress continues to give them military-level funding without commonsense reform. Enough. I joined nearly 200 of my colleagues in demanding a thorough, impartial investigation into the recent ICE-related shootings in Maine and Texas. thehill.com/homenews/house…

The Great Lakes are a national treasure, and Michigan is home to some of the most beautiful public lands in the world. We need to protect them. We just passed a major bill through the @TransportDems that would help... 🏞️Increase funding for Great Lakes ecosystem restoration 🐠Get rid of invasive species 🌧️Improve flood and drought resiliency 🚰 Ensure clean water access for all Americans We're going to keep pushing to get this bill signed into law so future generations can enjoy our amazing natural resources.

It’s always great to grab a drink with new friends to learn about their lives and how we can make them better. I learn way more pulling up a chair at a bar than scrolling social media! Thanks again to the folks at Barley & Vine for having us. Where in mid-Michigan should we go next?

We had a great evening at Barley & Vine in Flint with some really great people. Thank you to everyone who showed up to talk about on how we can make life better for hardworking families.🍻

While working families struggle to make ends meet, the well-connected get rich off their insider information. It’s gone on for way too long, and Americans are sick of it. We just unveiled one of the most comprehensive bipartisan bills Washington has ever seen to close the loopholes.
