The United States must keep our military the strongest in the world to deter our adversaries and keep our nation at peace.
The One Big Beautiful Bill is historic legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025. This bill prevented the largest tax hike in American history, lowered energy costs, and permanently secured our border — all while protecting the integrity of Medicaid and SNAP for those who need them most. This legislation will also help create thousands of good-paying jobs to boost our economy, ensure the middle class keeps more money in their pockets, and invest in a brighter future for America.
Doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals in mid-Michigan’s rural hospitals and health centers work tirelessly to provide essential and life-saving care for the families and communities they serve. The unfortunate reality is that these facilities that operate in remote areas may often face unique financial challenges. This is in large part a direct result of decades of failed, excessive, and outdated policies, which have left some rural hospitals struggling to provide essential services.
Every day, the U.S. Coast Guard works tirelessly to defend our shores and save lives on our waters. For the safety and security of our nation, I believe Congress can and should do more to invest in their critical mission to safeguard our coastal borders, stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants into the country, conduct search and rescue missions, and confront Chinese expansion in the Pacific.
When someone signs up and puts on the uniform to defend our freedom, they do so with an understanding that the United States will uphold its promise to care for and support them when they return home. The good news is that this week the House Veterans Affairs Committee approved three bills I’m leading in Congress to provide more efficient services to veterans, streamline communication, and protect taxpayer dollars.
Russia’s unjust aggression against Ukraine has gone unchecked for too long.
It’s time to negotiate a deal that will finally put a stop to the death and destruction, deliver a durable peace to the region, and prevent a wider conflict in Europe to ensure we keep American troops out of combat.
Washington can be frustrating—but even with all the noise, we are still able to come together and get real, bipartisan work done that makes life better for everyday Americans. This past week, I proudly voted YES on 19 bipartisan bills that do just that. These proposals help small businesses, protect consumers, strengthen national security, and modernize how our government works.
Some of the most important care a veteran can receive doesn’t come from a hospital–it comes from family. Every day, spouses, parents, and loved ones across the country are stepping up to care for veterans who’ve come home with serious injuries. Many of them leave their jobs and put their lives on hold to provide the full-time care that veterans need.
These caregivers deserve support for such a selfless undertaking–not a maze of bureaucracy and red tape.
Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They’re where innovation begins, where neighbors support neighbors, and where the American Dream lives. But too often, red tape, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and unfair competition get in the way of their success. That’s why I was proud to support 10 bills on the floor of the House of Representatives this week—each one focused on empowering small business owners, cutting through federal red tape, and leveling the playing field.
When an American signs the dotted line to join the military, they do so with the understanding that Washington will keep its promises. One of those promises is the G.I. Bill – a commitment to help service members and their families pursue educational opportunities.
