SNAP benefits — or “food stamps” as they are more commonly referred to — are a lifeline for Americans of all ages, beliefs, and backgrounds. An estimated 42 million Americans rely on them to put food on their table, including 1.4 million Michiganders.

It’s unconscionable to think that Republicans not only depleted SNAP to the tune of $186 billion in the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” and now also have effectively cancelled SNAP benefits for November, leaving families out to dry for Thanksgiving.

For less than 25% of the cost of bailing out a Trump ally in a foreign country, we could support American families putting food on their tables. It's a gut punch to the folks who are already struggling the most.

The longer this shutdown continues, the more pain our air traffic controllers and TSA employees feel. I hosted a roundtable at GRR to hear directly from West Michigan aviation professionals about their concerns, and reaffirm my commitment to ensuring that we end the shutdown so they can get paid.

SNAP is a lifeline for millions of families, including many West Michiganders. It helps folks put food on their tables, and yet, House Republicans’ government shutdown could put these benefits at risk starting as early as November 1st. www.axios.com/2025/10/20/s...

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'm joining DWC to spread awareness about early detection & mammograms. Twice, I received the news that I had breast cancer. Twice, I was lucky to catch it. I am now a two-time survivor. Please speak with your doctor about your own risk & steps you can take.🩷
