It was great meeting with the Michigan Certified Development Corporation to discuss how the Small Business Administration can help local businesses grow, create jobs, and invest in our communities.
I was honored to join community leaders, health care workers, and advocates at the Corewell Health Gala in support of Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital and the incredible care they provide for families across our entire state.
I met with the American Association of Homecare to discuss policies impacting our seniors and rural communities. I’ll keep working to lower costs, cut unnecessary barriers, and improve access to care for West Michigan families.
I’m always looking for ways to hear directly from young people in our community. If you’re a high school student in West Michigan, apply to join my 2026 Congressional Youth Advisory Council.
Great meeting with advocates from the National Down Syndrome Society to talk about expanding opportunity, protecting independence, and making sure individuals with disabilities and their families have access to the support and care they deserve.
More than 90% of overseas trade moves by water, and the Great Lakes play a major role in keeping goods and our economy moving. I met with the American Waterways Operators to discuss protecting Great Lakes shipping, supporting our Coast Guard, and strengthening maritime jobs here in West Michigan.
Small businesses should not have to jump through bureaucratic hoops to access the resources meant to help them grow. My Main Street BRIDGE Act would strengthen coordination between agencies so local businesses can more easily connect with the tools, guidance, and support they need to succeed.
PFAS contamination has impacted communities across Michigan, and families deserve clean, safe water. I appreciated the conversation today with NRDC and local advocates about protecting the Great Lakes, strengthening water infrastructure, and making sure polluters are held accountable.

Proud to join the National Blood Clot Alliance’s “Taking a Breath” podcast to talk about women’s health, maternal care, and the importance of listening to women when they speak up about their health. Thanks for having me for such an important conversation.
