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.

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.

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.

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.
