As the son of a disabled WWII veteran, ensuring our veterans have access to the care and benefits they have earned is personal to me. I’m proud to have recently voted to fully fund veterans’ health care and benefits programs.
At the end of July, House Republicans took a critical step to deliver on this objective by passing H.R. 4366, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and… Read more »

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… Read more »
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… Read more »

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!

My father was fortunate to survive a B-24 crash during WWII. Sadly, 10… Read more »
