Continuing my tour on Lake Huron, I got the grand tour at the NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary — an incredible hub for education, research, and preserving Great Lakes history.

Sea lampreys attach on to fish and literally suck the life out of them, until there’s no fish to be found. We need support and research to win the war against this and so many other invasive species!
Yesterday, I saw firsthand how invasive and downright diabolical sea lampreys are — and what will happen to our Great Lakes if we stop work on this invasive species. To demonstrate how they they swarm, the scientists had me spit into a barrel of these suckers — and you can see the results yourself.
This is the nightmare that I want every Michigander to see if we don’t control the sea lamprey.
Hell no!
The Soo moves 75M tons of goods and is a national security asset for trade and transport for the whole country. It’s an incredible project to see up close. Now we need to push through the final funding to complete the project without delay.
Soo Locks! Today, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave me a first hand look at the $3.2 billion project of rebuilding a new lock, set to be complete in 2030.
Some of the proposed cuts, like the closing of Michigan’s only Bureau of Indian Affairs office, aren’t just optional programs — they’re treaty obligations, and part of long-held commitments between the federal government and Michigan’s native communities.
Events in DC are having serious consequences for Michigan’s tribal nations, from budget cuts to changes to social programs.
One of the highlights of visiting the Soo, was getting some time with Chairman Austin Lowes of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians and President Whitney Gravelle of the Bay Mills Indian Community.
The men and women who serve here come from all across the country, but I was impressed by how many are recruited from the local community.
Yesterday, I met with CBP and ICE Homeland Security Investigations officials at the Sault Ste. Marie Port of Entry.
This small but mighty port does everything from processing thousands of crossings to port of entry services for Great Lakes cruise ships & international flights into Chippewa County.
In the Soo, conversations centered on health care & our deep ties with Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, who have been sister cities since 1668.
Great convos with local leaders in St. Ignace and Sault Ste. Marie. In St. Ignace, we discussed concerns about the Administration's trade policies hurting tourism & seasonal work.
Whether its 3D printing or funding for new fighters, over the next six years as your Senator I will be guided by three goals for Michigan’s defense industry: new missions, new technology and new jobs. youtu.be/XdGfnpndAuA
Now, with a fighter mission secured at Selfridge, Michigan needs to focus on attracting new military missions, new tech and new jobs that positions our state and our military to win the fight of the future.
To compete with China, we must shorten the time it takes for new ideas to hand new capabilities to the war fighter. That means bringing new tools into manufacturing faster.
President Trump’s signature bill will have real impacts for Michigan. All to pay for tax cuts for some of the wealthiest in the country, 300,000 Michiganders could lose their health care.
Last night, I joined the Women in Leadership panel at the Mackinac Policy Conference. While diversity is under attack, in Michigan, we know the value of having all kinds of voices at the table. #MPC

“If you want to also help the issue of social change, you also have to be invested in people being economically secure. Because when they’re insecure, they are just less generous with their fellow man,” Senator Elissa Slotkin tells David Leonhardt on this episode of “The Opinions.”
The Administration's rollback of clean water rules related to PFAS put the clean-up plans in Oscoda, Michigan at risk. youtu.be/-Adtwl8wlio
