I ran on fixing the damn roads and bridges in communities across Michigan.
Today, I’m so excited to be at the reopening of the Miller Rotunda Bridge, a key piece of infrastructure that supports our economy and connects people to the heart of Dearborn.

Today, I’m gathered with transportation and mobility leaders at the ITS America Conference & Expo. What better place than the Motor City to share innovative ideas and build on our long history as a leader and the #1 state for mobility, electrification, and automotive R&D.

1.4 million kids 180 school days 2 free meals a day = focused students and relieved parents.
Free breakfast and lunch is an equation for success. It helps kids stay focused in class while saving parents an extra $1,000 PER year, PER child.

During Men’s Health Month, we must work to reduce stigma and break down barriers that keep our fathers, brothers, sons, and friends from getting the care they deserve. Change starts with honest conversations, education, and listening to the men in our lives.

In this country, and only in this country, guns are the #1 killer of young people. Michigan knows this pain all too well. We’ve seen it in in our schools and universities, places of worship and places of employment — we shouldn’t have to live like this.
We need action.

Prices are on the rise all around us. Michiganders deserve good wages to pay bills and keep food on the table. Today, UAW workers are on strike bargaining for better pay and stronger benefits.
I will always stand with the hardworking men and women of the UAW.

Mackinac Island is Michigan’s gem. For residents and the 1.2 million people who visit every year, the ferry service should be accessible and affordable.
Today, I signed a bill that empowers the people of Mackinac Island to make decisions about their economy.
