To better serve constituents along the 1-94 Corridor, I am excited to announce the opening of my new district office in Portage. This location will allow my staff and I to assist more constituents who are having difficulties with the VA, Social Security, Passports, Citizenship and Immigration Services, or any agency within the federal government. The new office is located at 5228…

Weekly Column: A Bipartisan Wake Up Call for Washington

| Posted in In The News

In order to improve our nation’s fiscal future, Republicans and Democrats must work together. That is why last week, I officially announced that I was teaming up with Congressman Scott Peters (D-CA) to lead the Bipartisan Fiscal Forum or BFF. The group’s mission is to sound the alarm about our nation’s unsustainable debt trajectory and work together on solutions to regain control of our…

Weekly Column: A Bipartisan Effort to Save AM Radio

| Posted in In The News

AM Radio is an integral part of the daily lives of millions of Americans. Whether it’s at home, in the car, or at work, Michiganders tune in for the latest local news, their favorite sports team, and to stay up to date on the issues impacting our nation. More importantly, AM radio plays a vital role in America’s National Public Warning System, which provides emergency-alert and warning…

Weekly Column: Making SW Michigan a Better Place to Call Home

| Posted in In The News

As your voice in Washington, my priority is to make Southwest Michigan an even better place to live, work, and raise a family. Earlier this year, the Biden Administration released a rule that would raise the cost of mortgages for potential homebuyers with good credit scores to subsidize riskier loans.  I believe this misguided rule to be profoundly unfair. Individuals who have worked…

Weekly Column: Lowering Costs, Reducing Red Tape

| Posted in In The News

In its first year, the Biden Administration finalized regulations that added more than $200 billion in new regulatory costs. These increased costs have weighed down our economy various ways, but ultimately, the costs associated with these regulations were passed on to Southwest Michigan families and consumers in the form of higher prices. In 2022, President Biden only accelerated his…

On Wednesday evening, Congressman Huizenga appeared on "The Bottom Line" to discuss the ESG working group and how House Republicans will be addressing concerns over ESG in the weeks ahead. During the conversation, Rep. Huizenga made clear the fiduciary responsibility for asset managers, proxy advisors, and even the SEC should be on maximizing returns for investors, not pushing an…

Weekly Column: House Passes My Bill to Strengthen SW MI Economy

| Posted in In The News

I am happy to share with you that my legislation to strengthen opportunity, investment, and small business across Southwest Michigan passed the U.S. House unanimously last week! The current definition used by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to identify “accredited investors” is outdated. It is solely and wrongly based on a person’s wealth or, more specifically, on their net…

Weekly Column: Remembering Our Fallen

| Posted in In The News

All gave some, some gave all. Memorial Day reveals the true meaning of this powerful phrase. On Friday, I joined Sheriff Bailey to remember our fallen soldiers at the St. Joe’s Memorial Day Parade. After the parade, I was honored to speak at the ceremony at the Howard Band Shell where these words echoed in my mind. My father was fortunate to survive a B-24 crash during WWII. Sadly, 10…

Weekly Column: Working for SW Michigan

| Posted in In The News

While our country faces a host of challenges, the Republican-led House has put forward tangible solutions to the difficulties we face. For example, on April 26th my House Republican colleagues and I passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act. This legislation would address the debt ceiling and rein in Washington’s out of control spending with reasonable measures. As negotiations continue, it has…

Weekly Column: House GOP Bill Secures the Border

| Posted in In The News

Make no mistake, the past two years of chaos on our nation’s southern border have had a direct impact on Southwest Michigan. Communities across the 4th Congressional District and throughout Michigan have seen first-hand the deadly effect failing to properly secure our border truly has. For this reason, Republicans took direct action last week to regain operational control of our border by…
