Very cool!
Today, I joined my colleagues in Detroit to celebrate the signing of my bill, the Michigan Innovation Fund. This bipartisan legislation will support our homegrown entrepreneurs by giving them the investments they need to build strong businesses here in Michigan.

Today, the House of Representatives unanimously voted to designate a portion of highway I-94 in Wayne County as the "Corporal Mohamed Said Memorial Highway." Corporal Said dedicated his life to serving others and protecting the city of Melvindale, which he loved so deeply. Today, and every day, we will honor Corporal Said's legacy.

The Michigan Innovation Fund package officially passed the House last week. This fund will support entrepreneurs by expanding access to transformative economic resources. It will drive job growth, support innovation, and give businesses the tools they need to succeed here in Michigan.

American citizens are trapped in Lebanon. Late last night, I arrived in DC to meet with officials and demand faster action to ensure the safe return of our citizens.
Working with Abed Ayoub and the team at ADC to get things done quick. I will keep everyone updated on any developments.

The United States is responsible for protecting its citizens abroad, especially in times of crisis. Given the rapid escalation in Beirut, we demand the U.S. Department of State to immediately order evacuation flights for American citizens currently in Lebanon.
I am grateful for the elected officials and community leaders who have signed on to this letter thus far.
Note: this is only a partial list and is continuously being updated.
