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 itā€™s been like to process and try to heal this past year. Swipe to read.

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - While we face a potential government shutdown tonight ā€“ which means the closure and disruption of federal facilities and programs and the furlough of federal workers ā€“ my goal is to limit the impact it will have on my officeā€™s ability to respond to #MI07ā€™s needs. Both of my D.C. and Lansing offices *will remain open*, which means youā€™ll still be able to reach my constituent services teams for assistance, regardless of the shutdownā€™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. šŸ”—: 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 sheā€™s the Michigan State Senateā€™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 - 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 itā€™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, itā€™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 - My statement on events on campus:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Yesterdayā€™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 - 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 - Another smashing success! Congratulations to the cast & crew of this yearā€™s @brightonhs_bulldogs Musical ā€“ Disneyā€™s High School Musical ā€“ for their incredible sold-out performance last night. I met the cast & crew before the show and was amazed by their energy & dedication ā€“ theyā€™re set to do seven shows in two weeks! This is the third musical Iā€™ve seen in office and Iā€™m still in awe of the studentsā€™ talent ā€“ 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 donā€™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 ā€“ one of the most important things Iā€™ve worked on in Congress. Itā€™s pretty amazing to see an idea go from bill, to law, to physical outreach in veteransā€™ mailboxes. And for more information about PACT Act benefits, see here: va.gov/resources/the-pact-act-and-your-va-benefits/
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 todayā€™s Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - While Iā€™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 Iā€™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 - Tonightā€™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 ā€” and captured here ā€” to address a joint session of Congress on Ukraineā€™s fight for its freedom. Now, nine months later, Speaker Kevin McCarthy rejected President Zelenskyyā€™s request to address a joint session, and is reportedly considering stripping Ukraine funding out of this yearā€™s budget, to appease his far-right flank. Itā€™s just another example of the dysfunction weā€™ve seen from this majority, and even in the same week that weā€™re barreling towards a government shutdown at the end of September. šŸ“·: Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Tonight we were able to honor the seven students from Michiganā€™s 7th District who received appointments to our nationā€™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 itā€™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. Anyone interested in learning about military academy nominations, or applying for next yearā€™s process can find more info here: https://slotkin.house.gov/services/military-academy-nominations

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

Elissa Slotkin Instagram - My statement on the @WCKitchen workers killed in Gaza:
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. Itā€™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 - 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 - 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. Iā€™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 ā€œgallantry in actionā€ 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 ā€œproceeded over treacherous and fire-swept terrain and routed the hostile patrolsā€, 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. Itā€™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 ā€“ 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 - My statement on today's vote:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Iā€™ve been following reports from the Middle East this evening. My statement:
Elissa Slotkin Instagram - Appreciated hearing from and touring the Womenā€™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 ā€” specifically medications that address mental health needs ā€” 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 itā€™s always great to spend some time with dedicated advocates who work so hard to serve people.

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. Ā  There really isnā€™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 thatā€™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 shouldnā€™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. Ā  Iā€™m now back in Washington, even if my heart is still with East Lansing. Itā€™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.

Both of my D.C. and Lansing offices *will remain open*, which means youā€™ll still be able to reach my constituent services teams for assistance, regardless of the shutdownā€™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 first met back in 2018 while knocking doors together, and now sheā€™s the Michigan State Senateā€™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.

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, itā€™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.

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 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 Zelenskyyā€™s request to address a joint session, and is reportedly considering stripping Ukraine funding out of this yearā€™s budget, to appease his far-right flank. Itā€™s just another example of the dysfunction weā€™ve seen from this majority, and even in the same week that weā€™re barreling towards a government shutdown at the end of September. šŸ“·: Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters

I know they will lead with character and purpose, and I offer them my highest congratulations.

Caption : Tonight we were able to honor the seven students from Michiganā€™s 7th District who received appointments to our nationā€™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.

What fun to join Woody, Michiganā€™s official Woodchuck, and her friends at the @howellnaturecenter for todayā€™s #groundhogday celebration. Woody says weā€™ll have six more weeks of winter. That other guy Phil thinks itā€™ll be an early spring, but we know history has shown that a Michigan woodchuck is far more reliable than a Pennsylvania groundhog. Thatā€™s why Iā€™ve proclaimed today #WoodchuckDay in Michiganā€™s 7th District. Thank you, Woody, and the entire staff at Howell Nature Center for keeping this American tradition alive.

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. Itā€™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.

Iā€™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.

Among them was my late grandfather, Ted Spitz, who was recognized for ā€œgallantry in actionā€ 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 ā€œproceeded over treacherous and fire-swept terrain and routed the hostile patrolsā€, 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. Itā€™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 ā€“ 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.

Hearing from the local folks on the ground is vital to the work I do in Congress, and itā€™s always great to spend some time with dedicated advocates who work so hard to serve people.

That includes my own fantastic district office interns, all of whom are MSU students, who joined me throughout the day. Ā  There really isnā€™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 thatā€™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 shouldnā€™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. Ā  Iā€™m now back in Washington, even if my heart is still with East Lansing. Itā€™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.
