Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Tonight, I asked my colleagues to join me in honoring Sam Woll with a moment of silence. She had a profound faith in humanity and a passion for interfaith relations – something that is more important than ever right now.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - The American people need to hear it loud and clear: the GOP will not stop until there is a federal ban on all abortions – in every state and in every circumstance.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - I spoke on the House floor again tonight because our immigration system is broken and there’s a crisis at the southern border. We have a bipartisan bill on the table, and my colleagues across the aisle aren’t willing to even consider it — or anything else.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Today, I voted against a flawed supplemental spending bill for Israel security. My full statement:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - I had a chance to meet with Associated Students of Michigan State University President Emily Hoyumpa a few weeks back and we talked about the upcoming anniversary of the shooting. Ahead of tomorrow, I thought it was important to have her share some thoughts about what it’s been like to process and try to heal this past year. Swipe to read.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - For my first floor speech of 2024, I spoke about immigration – an issue that is so critical and so fundamental to the U.S. It’s currently being debated and negotiated over as part of a larger appropriations deal, so I felt it was important to lay down how I approach the issue. Practical, serious people on both sides of the aisle should be able to come together to discuss options and compromise on this most American of issues.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - While we face a potential government shutdown tonight – which means the closure and disruption of federal facilities and programs and the furlough of federal workers – my goal is to limit the impact it will have on my office’s ability to respond to #MI07’s needs. Both of my D.C. and Lansing offices *will remain open*, which means you’ll still be able to reach my constituent services teams for assistance, regardless of the shutdown’s duration. Unfortunately, though, many of the agencies with which we interact will be closed or impacted. We've been gathering information from federal agencies, and have compiled it all at the link below. We will continue to update this page as more information becomes available. If you have any questions, please give us a call at (517) 993-0510 or (202) 225-4872. 🔗: Slotkin.house.gov/shutdown
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - It was my absolute joy to host State Sen. Sarah Anthony in D.C. at the State of the Union. We first met back in 2018 while knocking doors together, and now she’s the Michigan State Senate’s first African-American Appropriations Chair. Sen. Anthony is a star on the rise and a leader on economic opportunity for all, reproductive rights, and gun safety. Introducing her to national leaders yesterday evening was the highlight of my week.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Amid new developments in the Middle East, we must remember that being a good partner means having tough conversations – I’ve been pushing the Department of Defense to provide Israel with lessons we’ve learned & urge them to think strategically about their upcoming operations in Gaza.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - It struck me today as I was trying to close out work ahead of the holidays that I had stumbled upon a perfect snapshot of what it’s like to be a Congresswoman: sending hand-signed letters to constituents. In just this batch I congratulated scholarship recipients, honored a WWII vet turning 100, celebrated new businesses, and, on the other side of the coin, recognized the bravery of the loved ones of the students lost in the Oxford shooting who spoke at the recent sentencing. As the year comes to a close, it’s a good reminder to take a moment to celebrate all the wonderful things happening in our lives, and acknowledge the painful things happening to people we care about. While Washington is a mess, the work here in Michigan, and the people I get to meet and fight for, are what make me so proud to represent this district.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - The Senate’s bill to prevent a government shutdown passed with 77 votes – a huge bipartisan margin, but @speakermccarthy would rather cater to his most extreme wing to keep his job than put the Senate's bill on the floor and keep the government open.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - My statement on events on campus:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Yesterday’s news of violence over food delivery in Gaza highlights again how dire the humanitarian situation is there, and how important it is that we get the ceasefire deal that negotiators from all sides are working on. I and so many in Congress have been urging the White House privately and publicly to use all available means to get a deal done before Ramadan. That deal should include a halt to the fighting by both sides, the return of all hostages to families who have been desperate and without even proof of life for months, and a surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza. There will be much more to negotiate on long-term issues, but it starts with a concrete deal in the near term.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - The crisis in the Middle East is hitting Michigan hard right now. People of all faiths are watching this conflict minute to minute, and it takes a toll on a state where we live together, go to school together, and grow up together.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - We just voted on a bipartisan bill to help families and businesses in Michigan. Why can’t we do the same on the border and immigration?
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Seeing reports of the first group of Palestinians and foreign nationals exit to Egypt is a relief, but we need to keep the pressure on all parties. My full statement above.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Israel has the right to go after the perpetrators of the grievous terrorist attack on 10/7, but the way you go after them matters critically to long-term security in the region. The U.S. learned that the hard way in our own wars.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Another smashing success! Congratulations to the cast & crew of this year’s @brightonhs_bulldogs Musical – Disney’s High School Musical – for their incredible sold-out performance last night. I met the cast & crew before the show and was amazed by their energy & dedication – they’re set to do seven shows in two weeks! This is the third musical I’ve seen in office and I’m still in awe of the students’ talent – from singing & dancing to set design, lighting, & music! Thanks to director Phil Johnson, his team, and to the families and community for their support of the Brighton Musical. The production runs through March 17th, so don’t miss your opportunity to see this great show!

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - A friend of mine in Michigan got this letter from the VA about benefits available through the PACT Act – one of the most important things I’ve worked on in Congress. It’s pretty amazing to see an idea go from bill, to law, to physical outreach in veterans’ mailboxes. And for more information about PACT Act benefits, see here: va.gov/resources/the-pact-act-and-your-va-benefits/
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Israel has a right to respond to the perpetrators of Hamas' terror attack. But being a good ally also means sharing the hard lessons from our own experiences from 20 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan — particularly for those of us so saw those wars up close.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Today, I got an update on the ceasefire negotiations from the White House, and separately met again with families of Americans held hostage by Hamas. There is a credible ceasefire deal on the table and Hamas needs to take it. The Israelis have publicly supported it. The families of the hostages and the families in Gaza are desperate for it. Once again, refusal by Hamas is only selfishly prolonging the war and abusing the very civilians they claim to be fighting for. Now is the time.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - My statement on today’s Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Antisemitism is on the rise in Michigan — from vandalism at elected officials’ homes and workplaces, to antisemitic fliers papering our small towns, to support for armed violence at public conferences. No matter how passionately people feel about a cause, resorting to threats of violence and intimidation does nothing but hurt the causes people care about.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - While I’m voting in D.C, some of my staff went to visit the newly-striking members of UAW Local 602, who work in the heart of my district and who I’ve known since my first days in Congress. Their local president, Mike Huerta, was my guest at the last State of the Union address. Sending my strength and support to everyone on the line fighting for their middle class life.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Tonight’s speech from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the National Archives is a tale of two visits: During his first trip to Washington last December, he was welcomed to the Capitol with open arms — and captured here — to address a joint session of Congress on Ukraine’s fight for its freedom. Now, nine months later, Speaker Kevin McCarthy rejected President Zelenskyy’s request to address a joint session, and is reportedly considering stripping Ukraine funding out of this year’s budget, to appease his far-right flank. It’s just another example of the dysfunction we’ve seen from this majority, and even in the same week that we’re barreling towards a government shutdown at the end of September. 📷: Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - You either support workers by enacting actual policies or you support them in words only. My thoughts on @potus’ historic visit to the @uaw.union picket line yesterday ahead of former President Trump traveling to a non-unionized facility in Michigan tonight:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Tonight we were able to honor the seven students from Michigan’s 7th District who received appointments to our nation’s service academies, as well as their proud loved ones, teachers and mentors. As someone who has worked alongside the military for my entire career, nominating the young men and women of our district who have chosen to take a big step forward in service to this nation is one of my biggest honors as a Member of Congress. Reflecting the years of effort these students have put into preparing for this opportunity, my office takes service nominations very seriously, and it’s a true privilege to send them off. These students represent a new generation of leaders, one that will chart a new course for our country that upholds the values of equality, dignity, and respect for all. I know they will lead with character and purpose, and I offer them my highest congratulations.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - It’s not every day you get to meet a local legend! What fun to join Woody, Michigan’s official Woodchuck, and her friends at the @howellnaturecenter for today’s #groundhogday celebration. Woody says we’ll have six more weeks of winter. That other guy Phil thinks it’ll be an early spring, but we know history has shown that a Michigan woodchuck is far more reliable than a Pennsylvania groundhog. That’s why I’ve proclaimed today #WoodchuckDay in Michigan’s 7th District. Thank you, Woody, and the entire staff at Howell Nature Center for keeping this American tradition alive.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - The solution to our broken immigration system should have 5 pillars: Keying immigration to the needs of our economy Expanding legal immigration pathways & applying from home Strong border security Addressing root causes of migration Ensuring policies live up to American values
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - As a former intel officer, I’m concerned that the public discussion of classified intelligence in Congress this week may put the sources and methods that got us that intelligence at risk.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - I spoke to @morningjoe this morning just as news broke of Alexei Navalny’s death. We need to demonstrate U.S. leadership in the world or we hand that leadership over to dictators like Putin.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - My statement on the @WCKitchen workers killed in Gaza:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - While some in D.C. are dragging their feet on addressing border issues, I’m spending the afternoon in Detroit for an update from @cbpgov, Department of Homeland Security Investigations Detroit, & @portdetroit about our Canadian border.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - This is a historic moment in the fight against gun violence, and also I hope a moment that brings relief for Oxford. Thank you to everyone who testified in these cases, and to the families of Madisyn, Tate, Justin, and Hana for their continued courage. As they said tonight, there is much more work to do to protect our kids from gun violence, but their resolve has ensured that justice was served. It’s also important to thank Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald and her office, who have worked tirelessly on these cases for over two years. They felt the Oxford story in their guts like all of us, and they took action, even when others may not have pursued something so groundbreaking. Michigan law now reinforces the precedent these cases and the courts have set here: If you have an unsecured weapon in a home with children, and one of them uses it to commit a crime, you can be charged and held accountable.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Many Michiganders use TikTok – including my own family and my own staff! – but as a lifelong national security professional, I don’t want the Chinese Community Party to have ready access to millions of Americans’ data.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - This morning, I held my annual meeting with faith leaders from around the district under a new name: The Samantha Woll Interfaith Roundtable. Sam did for Team Slotkin what came so naturally to her: helping others and serving constituents. She helped set up and implement our internship program, and was a thoughtful and inspiring mentor to the young people who joined our team. Sam also oversaw a ton of different programs, but her passion was really in interfaith work. At a time when interfaith engagement is needed more than ever, we believed it was the right moment to rename our annual meeting on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and honor her memory for years to come. May her memory continue to be a blessing, and a moral compass as we continue to work to build bridges across faiths, backgrounds and communities.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Today, in the markup of the Pentagon’s budget, @RepDonBacon (R-NE) and I introduced a bipartisan amendment to require the Air Force to pump the brakes on fighter retirement until we get a realistic plan for keeping capabilities we need, including at Selfridge Air Base. 94% of our homeland air defense and the lion’s-share of our fighting experience reside with the Air National Guard, so we believe it’s critical that the Air Force show their cards and lay out a plan before more fighters are removed from bases across the country.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Now that the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza has seen some limited movement of humanitarian aid into Gaza, we need the State Department to negotiate getting American citizens out safely. I’ve heard from many Michiganders who are frustrated and worried about those stuck there, and scores of aid workers from around the country looking to depart. These citizens need attention, support and timely information.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Today marks 80 years since U.S. and allied troops landed at Normandy on D-Day. Among them was my late grandfather, Ted Spitz, who was recognized for “gallantry in action” in the vicinity of Caumont, Normandy in the days following the initial landings. His story helps me get my arms around the enormity of the sacrifice that was made on this day eight decades ago. My grandfather landed on Omaha Beach after what felt like an eternity at sea waiting in silence. I was young when he died, so the only story I remember him telling me was about how terribly seasick he was, and therefore how desperate he was to get to dry land, despite what was waiting for him at the beach. Later, after the invasion, his unit set up camp, and he ended up discovering enemy outposts near his company. PFC Spitz “proceeded over treacherous and fire-swept terrain and routed the hostile patrols”, and was awarded the Purple Heart and Silver Star for his efforts. The story was published in the Detroit News. As a teenager, I traveled to the village in Normandy where his medals were pinned on him. Today, I keep his medals, the story, the citation, and his photo in my office. It’s a powerful reminder of the many stories of bravery by American service members on D-Day and in the days and weeks that followed. D-Day was the first step in a long march through Europe that freed millions from fascist occupation. It was made possible by the incredible courage of the heroes who landed on that beach – courage that lives on in the generations of American service members that have followed them. Today is also about recognizing the individual stories of the hundreds of thousands who risked everything for something bigger than themselves.

PFC Spitz “proceeded over treacherous and fire-swept terrain and routed the hostile patrols”, and was awarded the Purple Heart and Silver Star for his efforts. The story was published in the Detroit News. As a teenager, I traveled to the village in Normandy where his medals were pinned on him. Today, I keep his medals, the story, the citation, and his photo in my office. It’s a powerful reminder of the many stories of bravery by American service members on D-Day and in the days and weeks that followed. D-Day was the first step in a long march through Europe that freed millions from fascist occupation. It was made possible by the incredible courage of the heroes who landed on that beach – courage that lives on in the generations of American service members that have followed them. Today is also about recognizing the individual stories of the hundreds of thousands who risked everything for something bigger than themselves.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Seeing the first of the hostages coming home is an important moment and some of the first positive news in this conflict.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - We’re off and running for NDAA markup today, a must-pass bill that sets funding levels for the Department of Defense and moves through the Armed Services Committee.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Iran’s complex attack on Israel last night was unprecedented. Israel – like any country – has the right to self-defense, and while we want strategic thinking from all parties, Iran chose to take this conflict to a new place. PS: the only other country launching attacks combining ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones is Russia, against Ukraine.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - My statement on today's vote:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - The number one killer of children in America is gun violence. And if we truly care about keeping our kids safe, we should come together in a bipartisan way at the federal level to address this crisis.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - I’ve been following reports from the Middle East this evening. My statement:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Appreciated hearing from and touring the Women’s Center of Greater Lansing this week, an org that has provided support services to more than 10,000 women in our community since opening in 2005. Their leadership shared that the need for their services has tripled over the last year, and that recent drug shortages — specifically medications that address mental health needs — puts a real strain on their ability to serve the community. Hearing from the local folks on the ground is vital to the work I do in Congress, and it’s always great to spend some time with dedicated advocates who work so hard to serve people.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - As a nation of immigrants, we need to remember that our immigration system is broken for everyone – including those coming here. I visited @freedomhousedetroit, which supports those fleeing violence and oppression.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - What’s at stake if we don’t help Ukraine: Food prices rising, refugees streaming across Europe, Vladimir Putin on NATO’s doorstep, and American leadership receding over the continent our grandparents fought to save.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - As we mark the first anniversary of the shooting at Michigan State University, it was good to spend some time on campus today, checking in with students, faculty and staff, and talking about what the past year has been like for all of us. That includes my own fantastic district office interns, all of whom are MSU students, who joined me throughout the day.   There really isn’t a playbook for how to mark this kind of anniversary, so it was heartening to see so many people turn their emotions into action through the day of service activities offered at the Hannah Community Center and International Center. There were service projects to work on, art options, and even a squishmallow exchange to provide some extra comfort. These activities really showcased what it means to be Spartan Strong. One place that’s burned into my brain from that evening is sitting in the ops center at the East Lansing Police Department as the hours-long manhunt took place. It seemed fitting to go back and visit with them and city fire and other first responder leaders on duty that night, and thank them for their actions that evening, and in the grueling year since. We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that there was only one group of leaders who were running toward the gunfire, not away from it. And that they, too, have had to process this tragedy.   I’m now back in Washington, even if my heart is still with East Lansing. It’s hard to explain how much a tragedy like this impacts all of us. The common theme I heard from students and staff today was the way a mass shooting forever changes the very DNA of a community. We are still climbing our way back. #SpartanStrong.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - A deal that would allow for the release of Israeli hostages & allow a strategic pause in fighting would be an important moment for the families of those taken, for getting desperately-needed supplies into Gaza, & for the Israeli government to get clarity about its goals in Gaza.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - My statement on U.S. strikes against the Iran-backed Houthis:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - The future of threats won’t just be traditional tanks and aircraft — it will be data and who controls it. That’s why I’m sounding the alarm on Chinese connected vehicles and am pushing for imports to be vetted through a national security lens.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Folks from across Michigan packed the room this morning at the annual breakfast @senatordebbiestabenow and @sengarypeters hosted for the annual @congressionalblackcaucus conference. Great to see so many coming to Washington to work for positive change — powerful voices in the halls of Congress.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Did you know that the symbolism of Rosie the Riveter originated at the Willow Run Aircraft Factory in Ypsilanti? It’s no surprise that hardworking women in Michigan were among the first to roll up their sleeves and serve their country. Today’s Congressional Gold Medal ceremony honoring Rosie the Riveters was long overdue, and I encourage everyone to take time to listen to Mae Krier, an “OG” Rosie who helped produce B-17s and B-29s for the war effort from 1943 to 1945.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Food security is national security, so it’s important that we ensure adversaries like China can’t gain control over the land that feeds us. Today at @houseagdems, I asked U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack about how we can protect our farmland.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - As we mark #HolocaustRemembranceDay, I was honored to spend yesterday morning at Zekelman Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills for the grand opening of its renovation and new exhibit — a permanent memorial that honors the six million Jewish victims and so many others murdered by the Nazis. It was particularly moving to see the ribbon cut by Holocaust survivors, all women in their 80s, 90s and a few over 100. There will come a time when these survivors won’t be here to share their stories, so it was moving to see so many together to hear from them today.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - As a former CIA officer & Pentagon official, I’m concerned by a potential flood of cheap Chinese-made electric vehicles coming to the U.S. as they have come to Europe. I asked Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin about it today – this is not just an economic issue, but also a major national security concern.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - This morning, I had the chance to tour and then sit down with a group of Black farmers and local agriculture leaders at the We the People Opportunity Farm @w.t.p.o.f, which employs formerly incarcerated men and women and teaches them agricultural skills and techniques. As the only Michigander on the House Agriculture Committee, it’s important that I hear directly about the unique challenges faced by minority and small farmers, like access to water and ownership issues, so we can work towards addressing them through legislation like the Farm Bill. Many thanks to Grace Fellowship Church - House of Solutions’s Pastor Powell & @w.t.p.o.f founder Melvin for hosting me, as well as @michdeptofag Director Tim Boring, Julius from @growingthehope, TC from @willowrunacres, @fedupministries & all of our attendees for coming out.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - The best part of my Friday morning: Speaking with 8th grade students from Fowlerville Middle School on their D.C. trip! They came ready with some serious questions, and I can’t wait to see what amazing things they do.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - My statement on recent events in the Middle East.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Yesterday, we held an important hearing on protecting American agriculture from adversaries. There is bipartisan support for seeing food security through a national security lens: we need to be able to feed ourselves, by ourselves. That’s why I introduced bipartisan legislation that would let national security experts review significant real estate purchases by foreign entities of concern.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Today my heart is with the Oxford community, and I ask that you pause and think about Madisyn, Tate, Justin, and Hana. They were sons and daughters, they were friends and neighbors, they had dreams and goals, and all of that ended too soon.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Yesterday, I sat down with a delegation of Ukrainian parliamentarians – including my friend Sasha Ustinova – for a frank discussion on the way forward on Ukraine as conflict roils in the Middle East. The potential for a wider regional conflict that targets U.S. forces and resources is very real, so it’s important we start talking about the implications for Ukraine, particularly as we enter the third week with no Speaker of the House, and no way to bring bills to the floor. In addition, we discussed the impressive growth of defense manufacturing in Ukraine since the start of the war — and ways the US can help further that indigenous development. In need of faster production, Ukrainian engineers have been hard at work to secure a steady supply of the capabilities they need to continue fighting Russia.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - I was honored to pay tribute to the Canady Family of Lansing from the House floor during Black History Month, and was honored again to present family members with the tribute that now lives in the Congressional Record. The Canady family is part of the very fabric of our community, a fabric stitched with their incredible work ethic, commitment to breaking new ground, and to clearing a path for others to follow.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Growing up, my family was in the meat business, but for the Sarafa family, who own @PopDaddySnacks, popcorn & pretzels are their bread & butter, and they’re based right here in Livingston County. In just over a decade, they’ve taken their passion for snacks from a basement experiment to farmers’ markets, fairs, & more than 6,000 retail locations worldwide, thanks in part to a federally-funded branding program administered through @michdeptofag. It was great to visit this homegrown family success story & hear how they’re reaching younger consumers through social media & creating a supportive culture to attract and retain employees. And with even bigger plans for the future, the sky’s the limit for this family business.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - We’re so fortunate to have several organizations in our district working to end sexual assault & domestic violence, while providing hope & healing to survivors. I recently had the chance to visit SafeCenter, which supports survivors in Clinton & Shiawassee counties. Thank you to the team for showing me around & for your work to protect & advocate for victims of interpersonal violence – especially amid an uptick in reports since COVID. And with resources limited in rural areas, they’re also feeling the effects of a rise in homelessness. Working together at every level of government is the only way to turn the tide, and it was inspiring to see how much of an impact a small group of passionate, mission-oriented people can have on a wide area of need.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - I support the President’s actions today to secure the border — it’s a last ditch effort given that House Republicans declared a tough bipartisan border security deal “dead on arrival”.
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Welcome to Washington @brightonhs_bulldogs! It was great to stop on my way to vote last week and see the group in Statuary Hall of the U.S. Capitol after they received a tour from a couple of my interns. Nothing is better than talking to students about everything from the week’s votes, to some of the strange rules of the House (no top hats and top coats on the floor!), to my office’s internship program.

Practical, serious people on both sides of the aisle should be able to come together to discuss options and compromise on this most American of issues.

I and so many in Congress have been urging the White House privately and publicly to use all available means to get a deal done before Ramadan. That deal should include a halt to the fighting by both sides, the return of all hostages to families who have been desperate and without even proof of life for months, and a surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza. There will be much more to negotiate on long-term issues, but it starts with a concrete deal in the near term.

There will be much more to negotiate on long-term issues, but it starts with a concrete deal in the near term.

Congratulations to the cast & crew of this year’s @brightonhs_bulldogs Musical – Disney’s High School Musical – for their incredible sold-out performance last night. I met the cast & crew before the show and was amazed by their energy & dedication – they’re set to do seven shows in two weeks! This is the third musical I’ve seen in office and I’m still in awe of the students’ talent – from singing & dancing to set design, lighting, & music! Thanks to director Phil Johnson, his team, and to the families and community for their support of the Brighton Musical. The production runs through March 17th, so don’t miss your opportunity to see this great show!

There is a credible ceasefire deal on the table and Hamas needs to take it. The Israelis have publicly supported it. The families of the hostages and the families in Gaza are desperate for it. Once again, refusal by Hamas is only selfishly prolonging the war and abusing the very civilians they claim to be fighting for. Now is the time.

Now, nine months later, Speaker Kevin McCarthy rejected President Zelenskyy’s request to address a joint session, and is reportedly considering stripping Ukraine funding out of this year’s budget, to appease his far-right flank. It’s just another example of the dysfunction we’ve seen from this majority, and even in the same week that we’re barreling towards a government shutdown at the end of September. 📷: Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters

As someone who has worked alongside the military for my entire career, nominating the young men and women of our district who have chosen to take a big step forward in service to this nation is one of my biggest honors as a Member of Congress. Reflecting the years of effort these students have put into preparing for this opportunity, my office takes service nominations very seriously, and it’s a true privilege to send them off. These students represent a new generation of leaders, one that will chart a new course for our country that upholds the values of equality, dignity, and respect for all. I know they will lead with character and purpose, and I offer them my highest congratulations.

Thank you to everyone who testified in these cases, and to the families of Madisyn, Tate, Justin, and Hana for their continued courage. As they said tonight, there is much more work to do to protect our kids from gun violence, but their resolve has ensured that justice was served. It’s also important to thank Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald and her office, who have worked tirelessly on these cases for over two years. They felt the Oxford story in their guts like all of us, and they took action, even when others may not have pursued something so groundbreaking. Michigan law now reinforces the precedent these cases and the courts have set here: If you have an unsecured weapon in a home with children, and one of them uses it to commit a crime, you can be charged and held accountable.

Sam did for Team Slotkin what came so naturally to her: helping others and serving constituents. She helped set up and implement our internship program, and was a thoughtful and inspiring mentor to the young people who joined our team. Sam also oversaw a ton of different programs, but her passion was really in interfaith work. At a time when interfaith engagement is needed more than ever, we believed it was the right moment to rename our annual meeting on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and honor her memory for years to come. May her memory continue to be a blessing, and a moral compass as we continue to work to build bridges across faiths, backgrounds and communities.

Among them was my late grandfather, Ted Spitz, who was recognized for “gallantry in action” in the vicinity of Caumont, Normandy in the days following the initial landings. His story helps me get my arms around the enormity of the sacrifice that was made on this day eight decades ago. My grandfather landed on Omaha Beach after what felt like an eternity at sea waiting in silence. I was young when he died, so the only story I remember him telling me was about how terribly seasick he was, and therefore how desperate he was to get to dry land, despite what was waiting for him at the beach. Later, after the invasion, his unit set up camp, and he ended up discovering enemy outposts near his company. PFC Spitz “proceeded over treacherous and fire-swept terrain and routed the hostile patrols”, and was awarded the Purple Heart and Silver Star for his efforts. The story was published in the Detroit News. As a teenager, I traveled to the village in Normandy where his medals were pinned on him. Today, I keep his medals, the story, the citation, and his photo in my office. It’s a powerful reminder of the many stories of bravery by American service members on D-Day and in the days and weeks that followed. D-Day was the first step in a long march through Europe that freed millions from fascist occupation. It was made possible by the incredible courage of the heroes who landed on that beach – courage that lives on in the generations of American service members that have followed them. Today is also about recognizing the individual stories of the hundreds of thousands who risked everything for something bigger than themselves.

That includes my own fantastic district office interns, all of whom are MSU students, who joined me throughout the day.   There really isn’t a playbook for how to mark this kind of anniversary, so it was heartening to see so many people turn their emotions into action through the day of service activities offered at the Hannah Community Center and International Center. There were service projects to work on, art options, and even a squishmallow exchange to provide some extra comfort. These activities really showcased what it means to be Spartan Strong. One place that’s burned into my brain from that evening is sitting in the ops center at the East Lansing Police Department as the hours-long manhunt took place. It seemed fitting to go back and visit with them and city fire and other first responder leaders on duty that night, and thank them for their actions that evening, and in the grueling year since. We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that there was only one group of leaders who were running toward the gunfire, not away from it. And that they, too, have had to process this tragedy.   I’m now back in Washington, even if my heart is still with East Lansing. It’s hard to explain how much a tragedy like this impacts all of us. The common theme I heard from students and staff today was the way a mass shooting forever changes the very DNA of a community. We are still climbing our way back. #SpartanStrong.

It seemed fitting to go back and visit with them and city fire and other first responder leaders on duty that night, and thank them for their actions that evening, and in the grueling year since. We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that there was only one group of leaders who were running toward the gunfire, not away from it. And that they, too, have had to process this tragedy.   I’m now back in Washington, even if my heart is still with East Lansing. It’s hard to explain how much a tragedy like this impacts all of us. The common theme I heard from students and staff today was the way a mass shooting forever changes the very DNA of a community. We are still climbing our way back. #SpartanStrong.

It’s no surprise that hardworking women in Michigan were among the first to roll up their sleeves and serve their country. Today’s Congressional Gold Medal ceremony honoring Rosie the Riveters was long overdue, and I encourage everyone to take time to listen to Mae Krier, an “OG” Rosie who helped produce B-17s and B-29s for the war effort from 1943 to 1945.

It was particularly moving to see the ribbon cut by Holocaust survivors, all women in their 80s, 90s and a few over 100. There will come a time when these survivors won’t be here to share their stories, so it was moving to see so many together to hear from them today.

There is bipartisan support for seeing food security through a national security lens: we need to be able to feed ourselves, by ourselves. That’s why I introduced bipartisan legislation that would let national security experts review significant real estate purchases by foreign entities of concern.

The potential for a wider regional conflict that targets U.S. forces and resources is very real, so it’s important we start talking about the implications for Ukraine, particularly as we enter the third week with no Speaker of the House, and no way to bring bills to the floor. In addition, we discussed the impressive growth of defense manufacturing in Ukraine since the start of the war — and ways the US can help further that indigenous development. In need of faster production, Ukrainian engineers have been hard at work to secure a steady supply of the capabilities they need to continue fighting Russia.

In just over a decade, they’ve taken their passion for snacks from a basement experiment to farmers’ markets, fairs, & more than 6,000 retail locations worldwide, thanks in part to a federally-funded branding program administered through @michdeptofag. It was great to visit this homegrown family success story & hear how they’re reaching younger consumers through social media & creating a supportive culture to attract and retain employees. And with even bigger plans for the future, the sky’s the limit for this family business.

I recently had the chance to visit SafeCenter, which supports survivors in Clinton & Shiawassee counties. Thank you to the team for showing me around & for your work to protect & advocate for victims of interpersonal violence – especially amid an uptick in reports since COVID. And with resources limited in rural areas, they’re also feeling the effects of a rise in homelessness. Working together at every level of government is the only way to turn the tide, and it was inspiring to see how much of an impact a small group of passionate, mission-oriented people can have on a wide area of need.
