Michigan Values

The traditional values exemplified by the hardworking people of Michigan are the same principles America was founded upon. As your representative, I will adamantly support legislative initiatives that preserve America’s founding principles and protect the rights of the unborn.
Upholding the Constitution
As Congress works towards addressing our nation’s challenges, we must return our nation to its constitutional foundation of limited government that serves as the source of America’s greatness. Congress must honor its constitutional commitment to freedom and recommit itself to the principles of federalism outlined in the 10th amendment.
One of the most important freedoms outlined in our Constitution is the Second Amendment. Millions of Americans responsibly enjoy the use of firearms for recreational hunting, collection, and protection. Along with many people in the 5th District, I support the right for law abiding citizens to bear arms and will continue to defend this liberty throughout my service in Congress. As such, I have cosponsored a number of bills to further defend and uphold the Second Amendment, such as H.R. 38, Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.
I also joined a number of my colleagues in introducing H.R. 615, Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act, which prohibits the Fish and Wildlife Service from blocking the use of traditional ammunition and tackle on federal lands and waters.
Protecting the Sanctity of Life
Moreover, I hold the sanctity of life in the highest regard and will continue to work diligently and support legislation that protects the rights of the unborn. For this reason, in January 2025, I cosponsored H.R. 7, No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act.
