"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.

Lower tax rates, a bigger standard deduction, a bigger child tax credit, and bigger paychecks, means more money for Michigan families, small businesses and our communities. As one resident from Roscommon told me, “Any time a family can keep more of their own earnings and spend it as they see fit, it is a good thing.” I could not agree more and I am proud to support real tax relief for Michigan families.

Tax reform is already benefiting hardworking Michigan residents. Companies like AT&T are using the money they save to invest in their employees and our country.
