I've been proud to support the FishPass Project in downtown Traverse City to help preserve vital Great Lakes ecosystems and waterways across the region for years to come. This project is a tremendous example of what we can accomplish when local, state, federal, and tribal partners come together.

After 411 days, Henry Ford Genesys nurses reached a contract agreement. They stood together for safer staffing, better working conditions, and the patients they serve. Growing up in a union household, I know the power of collective bargaining. I stand with Michigan workers. https://t.co/46LLiZxZzc

Michigan never fails to innovate, and the FRIB at MSU is no exception. Since they broke ground on this facility over a decade ago, I have been proud to support their exploration in science and technology. We’ll benefit from the investments made at this facility for decades to come.

Thank you Mayor Behnke for the honor of receiving the key to the city! It's been a privilege to represent and advocate for the Battle Creek community in the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/Z4gcWC2haZ

The American people have watched President Trump enrich himself and his cronies. Members of both parties should be calling out this Administration's corruption - like @SenatorSlotkin is doing. She is simply saying that no one is above the law, and no one should be.

The Federal Protective Service MegaCenter in Battle Creek is critical to our state and our nation. I know that these public servants are an invaluable part of the downtown community and keeping them here in Battle Creek will make sure that expertise stays right here—with minimal impact on the Federal Protective Services mission.

Selfridge Air National Guard Base must remain a critical asset to our military and homeland security efforts. I will never stop fighting to make sure the men and women on that base have the tools they need to be successful. https://t.co/jbuCzWJdJw

I am deeply concerned by the escalating situation in Albania. Local authorities must refrain from aggression against peaceful protesters, and everyone on the ground must work to deescalate and prevent further violence. Michigan is home to a strong and vibrant Albanian American community, and I know these developments are very personal for many Michiganders. The Albanian people deserve a government that respects their fundamental rights and upholds the rule of law. That’s why I will continue to advocate for peace and justice for all Albanians.

Many truck drivers and farmers are now paying nearly double for diesel compared to before Trump’s war with Iran. This Administration must work towards ending this war and bringing costs down. https://t.co/oxszk0F6fR

Attendance is the share of roll calls held while the member was in office on which they voted Yea, Nay or Present. A party-line vote is a roll call on which a majority of Republicans voted against a majority of Democrats. Voting with the Democratic majority is the share of the member’s cast votes on those roll calls that matched that majority.

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 907 of the Senate’s 915 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (8): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. Nominations are their own issue. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with. The Senate roll calls come from Voteview; Votewiser does the counting.
