Thrilled to welcome Senator Elissa Slotkin to Benton Harbor this week as part of her tour. Benton Harbor being just her second stop shows how high a priority our community is, something we don’t always see from our state and federal elected officials.
We met with local leaders from across the lakeshore to discuss issues that matter most, including federal funding, healthcare, and the economy. Grateful for her time, leadership, and focus on the challenges our community faces.

It was an honor to kick off last night’s town hall in Benton Harbor, where I welcomed Senator Elissa Slotkin as she shared her Economic War Plan and listened to what constituents here are going through.
The room was full, and you could feel the energy. People are frustrated with what they’re seeing in Washington and how it’s affecting us here at home. Small towns in Southwest Michigan are really getting squeezed.
Michigan is staring down a billion dollar Medicaid deficit, with no state budget in place. House Republicans are refusing to write one, and that puts us at risk of a government shutdown.
At the same time, we’re looking at deep cuts to healthcare, nonprofits, essential services, and free school meals. These cuts would cause serious and lasting harm to our seniors, children, people with disabilities, and working families.
We’re also at risk of undoing decades of progress on renewable energy, expanding our energy infrastructure, and strengthening our manufacturing base.
I keep hearing the same question from people: What can we do?
Senator Slotkin’s Economic War Plan speaks to these challenges and lays out a path forward.

Southwest Michigan is becoming the epicenter of America’s nuclear renaissance with the NRC’s recent approval of Palisades’ operating license. This marks the first time in U.S. history a previously shutdown nuclear facility has been approved for restart.
I’m proud to have helped secure $300 million in state funding to support local jobs and boost our economy. The reopening of Palisades will create or retain over 600 family-sustaining jobs, with more than 1,000 additional jobs during maintenance periods.
By providing clean, reliable power to over 800,000 homes, Palisades positions Michigan as a national leader in the clean energy transition and helps us meet our clean energy goals.

Appreciated everyone being there yesterday. It was an honor to stand with all of you fighting for this project and what it means for our community.
The money was secured. The federal government promised the money. The state promised money. The state money is coming through, but the federal government is going back on its word.
This is an on-the-ground illustration of the negative impacts we're seeing in the federal budget.
Projects like this need to move forward.
This budget isn’t just a small hit. It is a heat seeking missile going to the core of everything we have been trying to accomplish in this state, in this country, for a long time.

Cutting Medicaid at this large of a scale isn't "cutting fraud," it's gutting life-saving medical funding for thousands of Michigan families. It will hurt patients, strain hospitals, and impact care in every corner of Southwest Michigan. Congress must reject this reckless plan.
