While in Sault Ste. Marie, I had a fantastic perch basket at the Lockview, and no stop to the Locks is complete without a visit to the famous Zak & Mac’s Chocolate Haus for some amazing sweets. Local gems that serve the heart of the Soo.

Great conversations with local leaders in St. Ignace and Sault Ste. Marie. In St. Ignace, we discussed concerns about the Administration's trade policies hurting tourism & seasonal work. In the Soo, conversations centered on health care & our deep ties with Sault Ste. Marie,

Yesterday, I met with CBP and ICE Homeland Security Investigations officials at the Sault Ste. Marie Port of Entry. This small but mighty port does everything from processing thousands of crossings to port of entry services for Great Lakes cruise ships & international flights

Soo Locks! Today, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave me a first hand look at the $3.2 billion project of rebuilding a new lock, set to be complete in 2030. The Soo moves 75M tons of goods and is a national security asset for trade and transport for the whole country. It’s an

As I made my way back downstate, I got the chance to meet with Alpena County and city leaders to recognize the incredible emergency response to the historic ice storm in March. First responders, elected leaders and lineworkers shared powerful stories — working 18-hour shifts

Yesterday, I saw firsthand how invasive and downright diabolical sea lampreys are — and what will happen to our Great Lakes if we stop work on this invasive species. Sea lampreys attach on to fish and literally suck the life out of them, until there’s no fish to be found. To

Continuing my tour on Lake Huron, I got the grand tour at the NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary — an incredible hub for education, research, and preserving Great Lakes history. From shipwrecks (over 200 you can go explore!) to science, this sanctuary connects us to

This is a gruesome act of anti-Semitic violence, and domestic terrorism. It was intended to spread fear in a community that has already dealt with its fair share of mass attacks — and far beyond. Thank you to the first responders for acting swiftly. apnews.com/article/boulde

With the roll back of clean drinking water rules around PFAS, it’s time to start banging pots and pans about the impact in Michigan. I teamed up with Great Lakes PFAS Action for a town hall in Oscoda to hear directly from folks living with the impact of PFAS contamination. A
