Politicians in both parties have told Michigan workers for 30 years that cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party will mean more jobs and higher paychecks.
But we know what happens in reality because we've lived it: millions of our manufacturing jobs shipped overseas.
Ban Chinese cars.

You’ve got to be kidding me. No.
This is bad for Michigan's auto workers and bad for America.
Health care is a fundamentally broken system. It’s about time we do something about it. We need a public insurance option.
I asked Michigan law enforcement leaders what should happen in Minnesota. The response is clear: the officer in question should be put on administrative leave, and there should be an independent investigation. That hasn't happened yet, and the American people need to know why not.
We've all seen the video with our own eyes, and the American people need answers about what is going on in our streets. Secretary Noem needs to come before Congress and have that conversation with the American people.
What is going on with the President and Venezuela? Well, it’s a lot harder to end a war than to start a war. The American people are tired of endless wars.

Americans don’t want the uniform military policing our streets. Over Christmas, the Supreme Court agreed.
And, as we are seeing in Minnesota right now, having unnecessary federal forces in our streets can cause things to spin out of control.

I stand in solidarity with the community of Jackson in asking for a swift and thorough investigation. Jewish communities in Mississippi, and across the world, deserve the right to worship safely. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...
Unfortunately, it is also no stranger to terror, having been bombed by the KKK in 1967. The symbolism in yet another attack on this building in 2026 is a painful reminder that antisemitism is not a relic of the past, but a clear and present danger.
This weekend there was a brazen act of hatred and antisemitism against Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi. This historic synagogue, the largest and only Jewish house of worship in Jackson, is not merely a building. It is the heart of a community.
A lot of people are going to see their costs double for health care. I break it down, and why I am still fighting.
Michigan, it’s been a wild 2025. This year, we traveled to every corner of both of our beautiful Peninsulas. It’s the honor of my life to represent you in the Senate — here’s to 2026!
President Trump wants to look tough because he doesn’t want to be talking about high prices or job losses.
While DC is roiling, Detroit's future is bright —and the event today — which included the Detroit Children's Choir and Detroit Poet Laureate, Jessica Care Moore — was the ray of positivity we all need. Congratulations, Madam Mayor, and onward and upward!

For the first time in 324 years, the Motor City will be led by a black woman, alongside the newly sworn-in City Council Members, Police Commissioners, and City Clerk.
What a day! Detroit’s future will be shaped by strong local leadership, and today that leadership was on full display at the historic swearing-in of Mayor Sheffield.
President Trump’s foreign entanglements are a distraction. He doesn’t want to talk about things like health care, housing and child care. He is distracting us because he doesn’t want to talk about any of that.

"He's really a foreign policy president. And I think he's doing that because he doesn't want to talk about domestic issues," says Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin. "He's doing the foreign thing to distract from him having no plan on the domestic side." https://to.pbs.org/4jzrD0b
We are in an emergency. We need to act like it. Both parties have failed on housing, and that’s why I am introducing the National Housing Emergency Act of 2026.
