Many Michigan aerospace manufacturers directly support @NASA's work. But unfortunately this Administration has created a lot of uncertainty about the future of NASA & critical missions like Artemis. These missions drive economic growth & discovery. We must continue to invest in space exploration.
Bill Nye and I agree: the United States must continue to lead the world in science and innovation. NASA is at the heart of that mission, so we can't stop fighting to protect their vital work 🚀
My PROSWIFT Act has helped improve our nation’s ability to predict severe space weather events that could harm us here on Earth. This Administration wants to cut funding for that program, despite it being cost-effective and essential to protecting public safety. I’ll keep fighting back.
Last week I had the chance to stop by the Air Zoo and Flight Innovation Center in Kalamazoo. Those folks are doing some great work to preserve our nation’s history through restoring aircraft and teaching the next generation about aviation.
From autoworkers and teamsters, to teachers and nurses, unions built the American middle-class and lifted up ALL workers in the process. This Labor Day Weekend, I'm once again calling on my colleagues to come together and pass the PRO Act.
Western Michigan University is home to a world-class aviation training program that prepares students to land good-paying, in-demand jobs. Great to tour their facilities today and meet the folks who are training the next generation of pilots and aviation technicians.
From cutting health care and food assistance to disrupting Head Start & other essential community programs, the Trump Administration’s policies are hurting hardworking families in our state. We have to fight back.
Capital Area Community Services in Lansing provides vital support to folks throughout the region. Like so many in our state, their work has been impacted by the chaos & harmful policies of the Trump Admin. I was glad to have the opportunity to hear from them directly today about these challenges.
Community projects get done when we roll up our sleeves, put politics aside, and come together. That’s what happened with the Southern Lakes Water Extension Project, which will bring clean drinking water to the residents and businesses throughout Genesee County.
It’s absolutely essential that folks have access to safe, clean drinking water. On our first stop of this year’s motorcycle tour, I saw how federal funding is helping Fenton Township connect more folks to safe municipal water after high levels of arsenic were detected in the water supply.
I've always said there's no better way to see our beautiful state than on a motorcycle, so excited to share I'll be kicking off my annual motorcycle tour across Michigan next week! Look forward to hearing from folks about the challenges we face & the work being done to make our communities stronger.
