When nothing can get through the Strait of Hormuz, it drives up costs across the global economy. I don't think there's a single person or company in Michigan that's not watching the price of gas right now and just sort of gasping when they pass by the gas station.

I have a bipartisan bill with Senator Jon Husted to ensure the yellow paint used on our roads is American-made — produced right here in Michigan, creating good jobs.
We shouldn’t rely on China for things like yellow road paint. Let's buy American and support American workers.
In Muskegon, I visited Sun Chemical to talk about the importance of maintaining a strong, American chemical industry -- and not ceding any more manufacturing ground to China. Part of how we do that is by ensuring the government is buying American-made products first.
We capped off the tour with a visit to Holland Energy Park, which powers, among other things, Holland’s downtown snowmelt system. Thanks for a great visit!
I took the opportunity to meet with Holland's local leaders, all of whom talk about the great collaboration as the ‘secret sauce’ that keeps Holland growing. While winding our way through the tulips, we talked housing, tariffs, and ways we can encourage more companies to invest in West Michigan.
Yesterday, I got to come back for the Tulip Time Festival in Holland, MI. With over 5 million tulips, the festival drew a record 976,000 people from across the world last year, generated over $50 million in revenue, and has repeatedly been recognized as one of the country's best flower festivals.
Muskegon is adding 2000 units of housing by 2027. They are moving fast to address housing needs.
I also learned more about Chobani and La Colombe’s recent investment in Muskegon/Norton Shores to expand their facility, creating over 300 jobs in the area — which is great news.
As we continued our stops in West Michigan, I held a roundtable with local leaders from Muskegon and Muskegon Heights to discuss workforce development opportunities, ways we can support the county's ports, and what we can do to reduce the rise in homelessness.

It's a lot easier to get into a war than it is to get out. And we are living that with Iran.
The American people cannot rely on the courts alone to protect their rights. The only real remedy is for Congress to do its job: pass laws that protect the Voting Rights Act, and ban partisan gerrymandering once and for all.
Politicians shouldn't get to draw the lines of the districts they plan to run in. Nobody gets to cook the books for their party. And the only antidote to what we're seeing now is to pass a federal law that calls on all states to do the same.
This comes as President Trump kicked off a partisan redistricting war that has rippled across the nation.
Here in Michigan, voters made their voices heard in 2018 when we passed a ballot initiative -- with overwhelming bipartisan support -- that ended partisan gerrymandering altogether.
The Supreme Court again attacked the right to fair representation in Congress. By again slicing away at the protections of the Voting Rights Act, communities of color in Michigan and across the country could see their voices diminished and lose the ability to elect a representative of their choice.
I have a real problem with political gerrymandering. Last week, the Supreme Court ruled to limit parts of the Voting Rights Act. Ultimately, this will make it easier for states to dilute the votes of Black voters and other minority groups.
We need to outlaw gerrymandering. Period.
The risk of Chinese cars being hacked and remotely controlled is not just theoretical. That’s why Senator Moreno and I have introduced a bill to ban them in the United States.

I’m so impressed by my friend Senator Elissa Slotkin protecting our democracy and destroying Pete Hegseth!
The Pentagon is asking for a $1.4 trillion budget next year. It’s an astronomical amount of money. It is our responsibility to push back and understand exactly what they’re spending it on and whether it will actually prepare us for the future.

"Dude, just answer the question." Slotkin pressed Pete Hegseth on troops at polls in the midterm elections. https://www.wlns.com/news/politics/senate-hearing-defense-budget/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky_
