“Nearly 70% of Michiganders filing taxes are collecting returns, including many supersized through new deductions created by the Working Families Tax Cut included in the OBBB.
Roughly a quarter of Michiganders benefit from a provision that eliminated taxes on overtime, while about 1.7 million seniors saved through no taxes on Social Security.”

This is deeply concerning. We cannot abolish the electoral system as this would make our entire state subject to the whims of New York City, Los Angeles, and any other dense urban area. District 73 is predominantly rural and already suffers from a lack of funding due to geography. If you need the proof as to what would happen to the country, look no further than here.
What just happened in Virginia should be a wake-up call for Michigan.
Virginia just joined the National Popular Vote Compact — a system where, if enough states sign on, electoral votes go to whoever wins the national popular vote, not necessarily who wins your state.
Translation:
Michigan votes RED by a landslide…
California + New York push the national vote BLUE.
👉🏻 Michigan’s electoral votes still go BLUE.
That’s not hypothetical.
This compact is already growing, now covering 222 electoral votes — getting closer to the 270 needed to take effect.
And here’s the part people in Michigan need to understand:
Legislation like this has already been introduced in states like ours.
So ask yourself honestly:
If this was one of the first major election changes pushed in Virginia…
what do you think happens next in states like Michigan if the same people gain more power?
This is why 2026 matters.
If you care about how elections are run — not just who wins them — then:
👉🏻 The House must be held
👉🏻 The Senate must be won
👉🏻 And we must win the Governor’s race
Because the governor signs these laws.
Once systems like this are put in place, they are extremely difficult to reverse.
Agree or disagree on the policy — but understand exactly what’s at stake.

ELPD responds to a reported stabbing that led to an officer-involved shooting The East Lansing Police Department responded to a report of a stabbing that led to an officer-involved shooting.
Yesterday I finished up a great weekend of knocking doors and even cleared a walk list! I’ve been really enjoying getting to know the constituents of the district. What most have expressed as their chief concerns is the current failures of education in our schools.
I had a wonderful conversation with a man named Kevin who was saddened to learn his grandchild didn’t know much about Artemis II and that it wasn’t really talked about in school. He said when he was a kid, everyone was watching TV or listening to updates on the astronauts headed for the moon.
What a strange change.
One thing I learned about was the crew mascot, Rise. He’s a little squish ball and zero gravity indicator. He was designed by Lucas Ye, a 3rd grader in California, as part of a competition to design the best mascot per the specs provided by NASA. Lucas has indicated he now wants to work for NASA in the future.
What’s most important to remember about the previous space race, is that it not only pushed the boundaries of humanity in the universe, without it we wouldn’t have a pile of products we use every day and likely take for granted. Memory foam and Velcro are directly a result of space exploration, as two examples.
I’m thrilled the crew all returned safely and that the future of the Artemis missions is secured! Time for a moon base.

Fantastic day starting on door walking. Had great conversations with voters! The longest was with someone who said she wouldn’t vote Republican, but would vote for me after our discussion. Just more proof to me that all we need is greater dialogue.
I’m sitting in the famous chair in our house, it is THE chair for holding this baby boy. He needed a nap and so do I. But it’s a great reminder why I’m out there on a beautiful Saturday knocking on doors. I really want us to give the next generation a better world than we found it. We have a lot to do, and I’ve never been more ready to get to work doing it.
Looking forward to chatting with more of you tomorrow!

The article below, from a Finland study spanning 1996-2019 on transgender youth undergoing s*x reassignment procedures shows a staggering increase in su***de AFTER procedures.
“Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment. After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls.”
This barbarism must end.

Democrat Harry Reid pushed to end birthright citizenship decades ago.
Everything President Trump is doing now, are things Democrats have said they wanted for years.
They were all his friends. They all agreed on these issues.
Trump hasn't changed.
Democrats have.

This is a very shocking figure, and puts recent Supreme Court arguments into sharp perspective. Quite concerning…
