  1. Many children depend on school-based health centers for basic care – that’s why I have introduced legislation to reauthorize the School-Based Health Centers Program and make sure our children in Michigan receive the care they need throughout the school day.

  2. Last week I introduced the bipartisan Hire Student Veterans Act – this bill cuts taxes for businesses in Michigan that hire student veterans and gives our men and women who have served more opportunities for work.

  3. The Soo Locks are an integral part of Michigan’s economy and vital to our national defense. The Senate voted 99-1 to pass a bill authorizing the funding needed to build a brand new Poe-sized lock.
