I am committed to making federal dollars deliver for West Michigan. That’s why I created a grants newsletter – to help local governments, schools, nonprofits, and organizations of every size stay informed about funding opportunities and resources. Sign up to stay in the loop.
Want to thank a veteran this Valentine’s Day? Send in a valentine to our Grand Rapids office by February 7th! We’ll deliver all of them on our Valentine’s Day visit to our veterans. There’s nothing quite like a handwritten note to share our heartfelt gratitude with those who have served our country.
I’m so inspired by the students and staff at Calvin’s Life and Career Studies program today. Initiatives like this are opening doors, building independence, and creating real pathways to jobs and opportunity.
I met with Muskegon Family Care leadership today to hear directly about the challenges facing community health centers and the patients they serve. I’ll keep pushing to protect access to affordable, quality healthcare for West Michigan families.
Loved touring La Colombe’s West Michigan facility today and meeting the incredible team behind the coffee so many of us enjoy every morning. Thanks for the warm welcome and keep up the great work!
Today marks one year since the deadly crash at DCA that took 67 lives. We remember those we lost, stand with their loved ones, and continue the work to strengthen aviation safety so tragedies like this never happen again.
I loved spending time at the Humane Society of West Michigan today and meeting the incredible staff and volunteers who care for our community’s animals. From rescues to adoptions, their work makes a real difference every day. And yes, I made a new furry friend along the way.
Honored to receive the CWA People’s Champion Award from Communications Workers of America Local 4034. I am grateful for their partnership and proud to stand with workers across West Michigan as we fight for fair wages, strong unions, and safe, good-paying jobs.
If a pilot is flying in the same sky, they should follow the same safety rules. My Fatigued Pilot Protection Act makes sure cargo pilots get the same rest protections as passenger pilots. Safety shouldn’t depend on who’s on the plane.
Great conversation today with West Michigan labor leaders. From workforce training to fair wages and job site safety, these are the voices shaping our region’s economy. I’ll keep fighting in Congress to stand up for workers and make sure West Michigan jobs stay strong.
On Cost of Living Day, I’m doubling down on the work to lower everyday costs for West Michigan families. As a founder of the Lowering Costs Caucus, I’m tackling high prices, strengthening competition, and putting more money back in your pocket. Families deserve an economy that works for them.
Thrilled to see innovation taking flight at Gerald R. Ford International Airport. Supporting new tech & runway safety tools shows Michigan’s leadership in aviation, job growth, and future mobility. Investments like this help our region stay competitive and connected. ✈️
Today we remember the six million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day and every day, we recommit to standing up against antisemitism and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten.
Cold temps mean icy runways and higher costs for airports. That’s why I’m proud to co-lead the bipartisan FROST Act, which passed the House last September and helps airports cover de-icing expenses so travelers can get where they’re going safely and on time. Now it’s time for the Senate to pass this
