Americans are tired of a political system that emboldens mega donors, super PACS, and out-of-state fundraising. Today, I’m launching the fifth pillar of my Blueprint for a Better America: Reforming Campaign Finance and putting governing before campaigning. ⬇️

America’s campaign finance system has gotten out of control. The outrageous price tag on running for public office has forced candidates and elected officials to spend far too much time asking megadonors — many of whom have never even been to their district — for donations. Leading up to the 2...

Thank you to the over 3,000 people who joined my interactive town hall this evening. I appreciated the thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and meaningful conversation. Hearing directly from members of our community helps shape the work I do every day, and I am grateful to everyone who took time out of their evening to participate.

Congress has the exclusive authority under the Constitution to declare war and authorize the use of force. The War Powers Act of 1973 delegates some of that authority to the president for a limited period of time.

That authority has expired, and my support of this resolution tonight is consistent with my belief that it is time for Congress to decide the scope of the mission and the appropriate limits on the use of force in Iran.

House lawmakers on Wednesday passed legislation designed to force President Trump to end the Iran War, marking a victory for Democrats and the constitutional purists who say the conflict is illegal…

The Biden administration’s misguided COVID-19 mandate forced thousands of service members to choose between their career and a vaccine. This was wrong, and it’s why I introduced legislation to understand just how many of our men and women in uniform unjustly lost their benefits as a result.

Thousands of American service members were put in an impossible position during the COVID-19 pandemic: receive the vaccine or leave the military. Thanks to the Biden administration’s misguided vaccine mandate, thousands of selfless men and women were forced out of the service before completing the...

Investing in real infrastructure is essential to building strong communities. That’s exactly what I saw and heard today at Chandler Road. Thanks to the Clinton County Road Commission for sharing how the $2.5 million investment I secured for this key road will ensure families and students can continue getting across the community safely.

As Military Appreciation Month comes to a close, I want to express again my heartfelt gratitude to the men and women who wear the uniform and the families who stand beside them through every challenge and sacrifice. Your dedication, strength, and service to our nation deserve our deepest respect and appreciation.

Michiganders are tired of potholes, crumbling roads, and unsafe bridges. Our bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act will deliver historic infrastructure investments, including an estimated $7.8 billion to fix our roads and $800 million to repair our bridges. Learn more below:

Mid-Michigan drivers shouldn’t have to dodge potholes on our roads or take long detours to avoid broken-down bridges. That’s why rebuilding our infrastructure is a top priority for me.
