I can’t express enough how deeply grateful I am to have represented Michigan’s 9th district in Congress the last four years. Though my term has concluded, please keep in touch with me on here or @Andy_Levin. Onward!

GOP may be so reflexively anti-union that they want to strip their employees of the chance to form one—but it's not that easy. Under the Congressional Accountability Act, rights that have been implemented can't simply be taken away absent new legislation to change the Act itself.

Wow, what a year it’s been?! I’m in awe of our country’s resilience and our collective ability to tackle challenges head on. All year, community leaders and advocates inspired me to make our world more just and equitable. Happy New Year!

On Dec. 28, 2018, U.S. citizen Paul Whelan was arrested & wrongfully accused of espionage by the Russian Federation. He’s been held in a prison camp ever since. We must do everything in our power to secure his release. It’s time for Paul to come home to Michigan. #FreePaulWhelan

I just voted for the government funding bill to reverse decades of disinvestment and support the middle and working class. We're bringing home $19M in Community Funding Projects and much more. Happy holidays one and all!

It’s a fitting end to one of the most exciting years of worker organizing in many decades.

The workers in my office have delivered an incredible gift to their peers this holiday season by showing you can achieve the power of a written contract guaranteeing workers’ rights in the halls of Congress.

This is truly an historic milestone. Concluding a union contract before the end of the 117th Congress shows it can be done and provides the workers who have unionized so far real momentum towards achieving collective bargaining agreements early in the 118th Congress.

Today, @Congress_Union members in my office voted to ratify the first collective bargaining agreement in the 233-year history of the U.S. Congress.

Together, these projects reflect our shared priorities of raising the standard of living for working families, protecting our one precious Earth, and upholding the human rights of every resident of Macomb and Oakland Counties. Learn about the projects: andylevin.house.gov/services…

Certainly, our Community Project Funding initiatives are an exceptional example of this collaboration and an important part of our legacy.

One of the things I think is most important for an effective Congressional operation is breaking down barriers and creating great cooperation between the DC and district offices and between federal and local governments.

The final government funding package will include *all* of our requested Community Funding Projects, bringing over $19M to Macomb and Oakland Counties!
BREAKING: This Senate passed the funding bill with an aggressive investment in American families, workers, and our national defense. The range of people it helps is large and deep. America will be healthier, more prosperous, and more secure.

Believe it or not, in 2022 you can only get a Pell Grant if you’re a full-time, two or four-year college student—as if it were still the 1980s. ⬇️
In the final days of the 117th Congress, @RepAndyLevin calls on his colleagues to support working people by making #PellGrants eligible to people who are training for #jobs in high-quality short-term #education programs through enactment of the #JOBSAct. lnkd.in/gXy5xcqC

2. This is not nearly enough. In a historic year of worker organizing, union elections and employer repression in response, we need full funding for the @NLRB, nothing less. We fight on!

I’m of two minds re: the first @NLRB funding increase in nearly a decade. 1. Great tactical victory for a determined workers’ movement that would not take no as an answer. Even with Republican opposition and the filibuster, we can get things done!

What an honor to receive his speech tonight to a joint session of Congress, and really to the American people. Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty and the dignity of self-determination is all of our fight for a just world order. Slava Ukraini!

On 9/1/21, I flew to DC to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The House was out of session, but I went anyway in honor of my vibrant Ukrainian American constituency. Little could any of us in that small meeting imagine what would transpire in the year to come.
