Bill has supported policies to expand American energy production and reduce dependence on foreign sources, helping bring down energy prices for Michigan families and businesses. That means lower utility bills, more reliable energy, and a stronger economy across the region.source
With every day that passes, it doesn’t just feel like it’s getting harder to get by; it actually is getting harder for people.source
As Washington spending spiraled out of control, Bill led the fight to rein it in. He has consistently pushed for fiscal discipline to combat inflation and lower costs for everyday essentials like energy, groceries, and housing.source
I hear from too many families who are skipping medical exams and appointments and rationing medicine they need because they simply can’t afford health care.source
Our immigration system is broken. There’s no way around it. A world exists where we can have a secure border that stops criminals from entering our country while providing a path for those who follow the rule of law to come here legally.source
Regardless of who you are or where you live, you deserve the right to be safe in your home, your community, and with your neighbors. And our children deserve to go to school every day without the threat of gun violence.source
I believe that the decision to start or grow a family is between a woman, her family, and her doctor—NOT politicians who have no place in the doctor’s office.source
I am a proud product of public schools and the son of a public school teacher. My wife and I are proud public school parents. I believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, which is why I strongly support public education and funding our public schools.source
Our veterans fought for our freedoms, and we owe it to them to be there when they come home.source
Now more than ever, it is vital that we stand up for our democratic ideals, our Constitution, and our freedoms. Freedom of speech is a pillar of our country and the foundation of our electoral process. That’s why I’ve stood up for free and fair elections.source
Farmers and rural Michigan are bearing the brunt of the Trump administration’s tariff policy. The costs of seed, fertilizer, and fuel are all going up due to tariffs. And as a result of Trump’s threats, China stopped buying U.S. soybeans last year, tanking prices.source
