Housing costs too much. So we got to work. Michigan is now building or fixing nearly 11,000 homes a year—and we're not stopping until every family can afford a place to call home.

Across Michigan, over 350,000 people rely on the ACA for health care. After federal cuts, that total is down 27% in the last year alone. Good health care means lower costs and healthier families. Here in Michigan, we're doing whatever we can to protect that. Here's how ⤵️

We took action to:   ✅Codify ACA protections into state law
✅Provide protections from surprise billing
✅Erase $218 million in medical debt   I fight to protect health care because no one should choose between a doctor's visit and putting food on the table.

Michigan & Canada don’t just trade with each other. We build things together. Parts can cross the border several times before a car rolls off the line. Every new barrier adds costs & uncertainty for workers and businesses that make things in Michigan.  crainsdetroit.com/economy/cd…

With costs on the rise, Michiganders need a break. That's why I signed two bills today that lower housing costs. From now on: ✅Landlords must offer a way for tenants to pay rent without fees ✅Insurers can't unfairly charge different rates for factors out of customers' control

I’ll always protect consumers and look for ways to lower costs. Companies don't get to nickel and dime their way to higher profits in Michigan.

Diesel fuel in Michigan just hit $6.81/gal—a new state record and part of a national all-time high set last week, per AAA. When diesel prices skyrocket, so does the cost of everything getting delivered. It’s not sustainable. DC Republicans need to get it under control.

Here's Michigan's tab for the tariff war. Costs are skyrocketing and Michigan families are paying the highest price across the country for DC's tariffs. Now Canada is retaliating. Another $1.5 billion in Michigan exports are at risk. DC Republicans need to end this mess.

Update:
DC Republicans are driving up costs and the reckless decisions need to end. Michigan families are paying the price. Earlier this year, Michiganders were paying $2.70/gal for gas. As of today, that's up to $4.54/gal - a 68% increase and an extra $29 out of your pocket every tank.

Canada's retaliatory tariffs took effect last week & Michigan is one of the hardest-hit states in the country. Over a third of our exports go to Canada, which equals more than $21 billion a year. D.C. Republicans' chaotic trade war needs to end now.

Michigan workers and businesses have already paid an estimated $23 billion in tariff costs since 2025. Now $1.5 billion of our exports—steel, aluminum, auto parts, farm products—are at risk from Canada's retaliation. These are Michigan jobs at risk.

This is a tax on Michigan families: at the grocery store, the gas pump, the dealership & beyond. Republicans in Washington created this chaos. They need to end it.
