Why are John James and Bill Huizenga lining up to hurt their constituents? Nearly one in four people in each of their districts rely on Medicaid, but John and Bill want to take it away to give tax cuts to Elon Musk and Betsy DeVos www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is incredible progress thanks to the work of Gretchen Whitmer and Democrats in Lansing. But 37% of all births in Michigan are covered by Medicaid. The Trump-GOP cuts would undo this progress. www.wnem.com/2025/06/18/m...

Matt Hall is more interested in bending the knee to Trump than standing up for Michigan. Trump's Billionaires-first Bill may be popular with Matt's big-money friends like the DeVos family, but it's a disaster for regular Michiganders. www.bridgemi.com/michigan-gov...
