Parents today are working hard and still struggling to find affordable child care. We sat down at a child care facility in Fenton to talk about our bipartisan bill to cut red tape and lower costs for parents. https://t.co/AfGMKvvnZb
“If I were Pete Hegseth, I’d be worried. It’s certainly something that needs serious consideration, and I hear Democrats, yes, but I also hear some Republicans saying it as well. I think there’s a lot he needs to answer for.” https://t.co/AtEfj8HJI0
Maybe we should... stop? https://t.co/1z0m9U2yL2
Supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs and job creators is one of the best things we can do to create lasting economic growth. https://t.co/Di1bC9rpLQ
I was honored to receive the Advocate for American Business Award from the @USChamber yesterday in Grand Blanc. It was all the more special to receive it at Great Harvest Bread Company alongside our friends from the Grand Blanc Chamber of Commerce. If we want to make it easier for businesses to grow, cutting red tape and standing up to some of the chaotic policies in Washington are great places to start.
The Coast Guard is finally restoring 24/7 rescue operations on the Saginaw Bay and Saginaw River. This will make mid-Michigan safer, and it wouldn’t have happened without our community coming together to raise our voices. https://t.co/UfpmqoHk4G
We can’t let mountains of paperwork stop us from giving kids the care they need. We have a bipartisan bill to cut red tape and make sure more families can get affordable child care. https://t.co/j4zvzI2Cvt
Great news: The Saginaw River Coast Guard station will resume FULL operations in 2027! This means faster search-and-rescue operations and less strain on local law enforcement’s resources. We’ve been pushing for this for over a year. Thank you to every Michigander who spoke up and helped make this happen.
We had so much fun at the K?Onda! Festival in Saginaw this year. K? Onda! always does a great job bringing people together to celebrate Hispanic culture and heritage, anchored by some of the small businesses and organizations that make mid-Michigan so special. https://t.co/429tzdQztz
Parents deserve better than a broken child care system. We have a bipartisan bill to bring down costs and make things easier for families. https://t.co/FYyjyi6Xll
