However, the tax code can be tough to navigate so I strongly urge Secretary Mnuchin and the Treasury Department to modernize the IRS and make sure taxpayers are receiving support with their returns this year. Taxpayers can also call my office in Midland for help if they are having a problem with the IRS."

"I spoke with President Ross and congratulated him on his incredible leadership at CMU. He has strengthened the university's commitment to STEM education, made it a leader in Great Lakes research, opened the College of Medicine and seen the first medical students graduate. His work has made our region and our state a better place and the next president will have a tremendous legacy to build upon. I have enjoyed working with George and I wish him and Elizabeth all the best in retirement."
