"I will always defend the right to life of unborn children in the womb because they are the most vulnerable people in our society and each of their lives is a special gift. It is disappointing that Democrats have made it a top priority in the new year to use taxpayer funding to end the lives of these innocent children.

"The economy is strong, with unemployment under four-percent and wages on the rise. We shouldn't jeopardize that success like the Democrats did today when they voted to make it easier for themselves to take more money from the American people. Democrats were sent here to work in a bipartisan manner, but they are already tearing up rules so they don't have to work with Republicans. I will fight against efforts to raise taxes on hardworking Michigan residents, because it's always a good thing when Michiganders can keep more of their own money."

“The Farm Bill will help small towns in Michigan and across the country with grants from the Department of Agriculture that will go toward improving water infrastructure, expanding rural broadband Internet access, and fighting the opioid crisis.

“Michigan farmers work tirelessly to feed our communities and people around the world. This legislation will help the 15,000 farmers in my district plan for the future, especially when they face natural disasters. Michigan family farmers are the best in the world and this legislation will help them compete for years to come."

“Congratulations to the Asch family on this tremendous honor for Colonel Asch. He was a patriot who never forgot where he was from and he continued to support Beaverton and Gladwin County throughout his life. This special honor will help his legacy be remembered for generations to come.”

“It was a privilege to represent the residents of the Fourth District at the National Cathedral on this national day of mourning and to pay tribute to President Bush for his lifetime of service to our country. Today’s ceremony was a beautiful celebration of the gracious and generous man who led our nation through a challenging period in world history. All of the speakers made wonderful remarks and the president’s son gave a moving speech that undoubtedly made his father very proud. George H.W. Bush was a courageous patriot and history will remember him well.”

"President Bush was a patriot. He was the right man at the right moment in history and we give thanks for his steadfast service to our nation. We raise the Bush family up in our prayers and we are comforted knowing that he is in a better place, reunited with his daughter Robin and his wife Barbara."
