It's way harder and more expensive to get the power back on after a storm than it is to make the investments to prevent a major outage from happening in the first place.
That's why I introduced bipartisan legislation to harden our power grid in Michigan and across the country.

Michigan is on the cutting-edge of developing new technologies that keep us competitive while creating good jobs for workers.
The American Innovation and Jobs Act would help ensure our small businesses and startups can continue to spearhead innovation.
Medicaid covers more than 2.5 million Michiganders. But President Trump wants to gut it and kick children, seniors, and people with disabilities off their health care — all to give a massive tax break to billionaires. I'm going to fight it every step of the way.
If President Trump accepts this plane from a foreign government, it’s not only a national security threat, it’s a $400 million down payment to benefit the Qatari government’s interests.
This is corruption, plain and simple.
Happy Mother’s Day to my incredible wife Colleen, my mother-in-law, and all the great moms in Michigan and across the country!
As Ranking Member of HSGAC, I’m calling on Senate Republicans to do their jobs and hold President Trump accountable for his challenges to our nation’s constitutional system of checks and balances and rule of law.
Communities across Michigan lost power for weeks on end following the devastating ice storm that just hit our state. That shouldn't happen in America.
That's why I've introduced a bipartisan bill to strengthen Michigan's power grid and prevent future outages.
Generations of brave Michiganders like Captain James McClain have answered the call to defend our nation.
When Captain McClain’s daughter Sheri contacted my office for help receiving her father’s military awards, we were honored to step up and help recognize his service.
Public service workers devote their careers to making things better for folks all across our country — from Social Security recipients to veterans.
This Public Service Recognition Week, I hope you'll join me in thanking public workers for all that they do.
President Trump is trying to defund the public media organizations our communities depend on for emergency notifications, news coverage and educational content that all ages can enjoy.
Freedom of the press is essential, and I'll keep fighting to protect public TV and radio.
Congratulations to Michiganders Christina Danieli, Maxwell Gilbert, Alexandrea Rutledge, and Jeremiah Stumpfig on your incredible accomplishments at this year’s Special Olympics World Winter Games!
You’ve made our state and our country proud. 🇺🇸
Frank Bisignano has made it clear that he won’t stop the Trump Admin and DOGE from making it harder for millions of Americans to access their Social Security benefits if he’s confirmed as SSA Commissioner.
I’m heading to the floor right now to vote NO on Frank Bisignano.
We all know that the price of housing in Michigan and across the country is too high.
President Trump's tariffs will only make the problem WORSE by spiking construction costs for new homes by as much as $10,000. I'm demanding that he reverse course immediately.
This Teacher Appreciation Week I’m thinking of all of our amazing educators, like my dad, who put in long hours and go above and beyond so their students can succeed. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the teachers I’ve had in my life. Thank you!
Folks! Reminder to make sure your driver’s license or Michigan ID has a REAL ID star in the corner before the May 7th deadline. Otherwise, be sure to bring an acceptable ID – like your passport – next time you fly. Learn more: dhs.gov/real-id
Before President Trump took office America had the strongest economy in the world.
Now, consumers all across the country can see that he wrecked it. And it only took him 100 days.
In his first 100 Days, President Trump levied a new National Sales Tax on American families that's already expected to cost the average household more than $4000 a year — including an extra $200 on groceries.
So much for his promise of lowering prices...
My statement on the announcement that 21 F-15EXs are coming to Selfridge Air National Guard Base:
Selfridge Air National Guard Base is the ideal home for future fighter missions.
For years, I’ve pushed to bring a new fighter mission to Selfridge, and I’ll keep working until we get the job done.
From helping to secure KC-46A tankers to establishing the Northern Border Mission Center, I've been laser focused on strengthening the future of Selfridge, especially bringing home a new fighter mission to the base. County Executive Mark Hackel has been a great partner in that work.
