With rising costs and so much national economic uncertainty, it's getting harder to find a good-paying job, buy a house, and start a family. In Michigan, you can do it all. Michigan is THE state to put down roots and have a good, affordable life.

The Gordie Howe bridge is proof that when we work together, we can get hard things done. I made sure this bridge opened to deliver a better economic future for all. Everyone should be able to make it in Michigan.

Any attempt by the federal government to take over Michigan elections should be seen for what it is—an attempt to take away your constitutional right to vote. It won't happen on my watch.

While Washington D.C. inflames a trade war with Canada, Michiganders are continuing to the pay the price. Higher costs. Increased uncertainty. Hardworking Michigan families fighting to get by. I've been consistent since day 1: these tariffs are reckless, and we deserve better.
