Head Start ratios make sure teachers can do their jobs well and kids are safe. This Administration is trying to take that and a bunch of other commonsense standards away.

Americans are sick and tired of insiders cashing in on public service. It’s time to crack down on politicians who care more about helping themselves than serving you.

We were proud to welcome the @USChamber to Grand Blanc. When we support entrepreneurs who are trying to start or run a business, we’re supporting the shops, restaurants, and companies that make our communities even stronger.

This Administration is asking Head Start teachers to do more with less. This proposed overhaul will be disastrous for kids, teachers, and working parents. freep.com/story/news/local/m…

Parents today are working hard and still struggling to find affordable child care. We sat down at a child care facility in Fenton to talk about our bipartisan bill to cut red tape and lower costs for parents.

“If I were Pete Hegseth, I’d be worried. It’s certainly something that needs serious consideration, and I hear Democrats, yes, but I also hear some Republicans saying it as well. I think there’s a lot he needs to answer for.” semafor.com/article/10/09/20…

Maybe we should... stop?

Supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs and job creators is one of the best things we can do to create lasting economic growth.

I was honored to receive the Advocate for American Business Award from the @USChamber yesterday in Grand Blanc. It was all the more special to receive it at Great Harvest Bread Company alongside our friends from the Grand Blanc Chamber of Commerce. If we want to make it easier for businesses to grow, cutting red tape and standing up to some of the chaotic policies in Washington are great places to start.

The Coast Guard is finally restoring 24/7 rescue operations on the Saginaw Bay and Saginaw River. This will make mid-Michigan safer, and it wouldn’t have happened without our community coming together to raise our voices.

We can’t let mountains of paperwork stop us from giving kids the care they need. We have a bipartisan bill to cut red tape and make sure more families can get affordable child care.

Great news: The Saginaw River Coast Guard station will resume FULL operations in 2027! This means faster search-and-rescue operations and less strain on local law enforcement’s resources. We’ve been pushing for this for over a year. Thank you to every Michigander who spoke up and helped make this happen.

We had so much fun at the K?Onda! Festival in Saginaw this year. K? Onda! always does a great job bringing people together to celebrate Hispanic culture and heritage, anchored by some of the small businesses and organizations that make mid-Michigan so special.

Parents deserve better than a broken child care system. We have a bipartisan bill to bring down costs and make things easier for families.

Farmers and truckers across Michigan are getting crushed by skyrocketing diesel prices. Those high prices then get passed on to everyone. The war in Iran has to end before things get even worse. detroitnews.com/story/busine…

It’s wrong for Big Tech to get tax breaks to build data centers while working people struggle. I wrote a bill to fix that.

One year ago, while gathering to worship, parishioners at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc suffered an unimaginable terror attack. I join the community in remembering the four victims, extending our prayers to their families and fellow congregants, and standing with the community as we remember the tragedies of that day. Today, we also honor the heroic first responders who were on the scene in a matter of seconds. The remarkable speed and decision-making of our 911 dispatchers, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and paramedics saved lives. In the days, weeks, and months since, neighbors have come together to grieve, heal, and find the light under the motto, “Grand Blanc, Better Together.” In the wake of an unimaginable tragedy, the Church and its community have shown us the power of faith and hope. As they break ground tonight, all of mid-Michigan will be behind them with love and support.

Saginaw’s Medical Diamond is growing! The new @CMUniversity facility will mean better education for med students, more good-paying jobs, and better care for local families and seniors. I was proud to support this project that’s going to make downtown Saginaw even stronger.

Flint is getting a new training facility for police and firefighters from across the region. Not only is this going to help first responders stay safe on the job, but it’s going to make our community safer too.
