I had a great time yesterday at the Bear Lake Township Fire Department's 47th Annual BBQ! It was wonderful to connect with such a dedicated group of firefighters and community members who came out to show their support. Today I walked in the Manton Harvest Festival parade. Thank you, Manton… I felt the love! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Happy Labor Day to all! I’m returning to Lansing this week, ready to fight for your right to keep more of the money you’ve worked so hard for. 💪

It’s about that time! Absentee ballots will start hitting mailboxes soon and early voting starts Oct. 24th. I’ve begun placing signs across the 16-county district I represent! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

For those interested in supporting our candidates, the Alpena and Roscommon Republican Parties have designated sign pickup locations (location info under the images below and more pick up locations are coming soon). I personally delivered my signs to these spots, making it easy for you to get involved.

I understand that many of you may feel some political fatigue, but your continued support and engagement means the world! Thank you for standing with me!

I came across a social media post that perfectly reflects the spirit of common sense and the Northern Michigan way of life. It highlights a school reinstating a woodshop class, with many commenters offering their support and resources for the teacher. I'm also excited for the students at Kalkaska Schools who will gain valuable trade skills during their formative high school years, paving the way for well-paying jobs in Northern Michigan.

The auditor generals office released a performance audit on the DNR’s licensing system (MiConnect).

The DNR maintains the MiConnect system which is used for the sale and purchase of hunting, fishing, snowmobile, and off-road vehicle licenses. Also, MiConnect is used for hunting lottery applications, fuelwood permits, Outdoor Skills Academy classes (e.g., fishing clinics, hunting clinics, and survival classes), and deer harvest patches. NOTE: This is not an overall audit of the DNR, just the licensing system used by the department.

Here is a link to the full report:

The bottom line is that Democrats took away local control. What they have planned for the future, should they gain further power, is far more detrimental than the loss of local voices we currently face.

To be clear, not a single Republican voted in favor of Public Act 233, the Act which removed local control.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Presque Isle Farm Bureau annual meeting in Posen. Tonight, I made my way to the opposite end of the district for the Benzie/Manistee annual meeting held at the Northern Natural C***r House & Winery in Kaleva.

Tonight’s board meeting formalities wrapped up with rain clouds drifting over the lighted outdoor tent, while kids played in the rain. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and valued the discussions on agricultural policies.

I know farmers are facing tough challenges, and I want you to know that I’m here to support you locally and advocate for you all in Lansing!

Wow, this summer really flew by! Students and educators are already returning to the classrooms. Just a reminder to parents that a new law has been enacted, banning cell phones during school hours.

The law allows schools the ability to permit the use of cell phones during lunchtime breaks only; schools will communicate their individual policies with families directly should this be permissible.

Note: While I understand the intent of the law, I did not vote in favor because schools already had the authority to implement these policies, and many Michigan schools had voluntarily done so.

Wishing students, educators, bus drivers, coaches, and staff a fantastic and productive school year ahead! 🌟

I wrapped up a busy work week by attending the Republican Convention in Mount Pleasant, which kicked off on Friday. Today, Republicans stood united to confirm our statewide candidates—and we are fired up! The Democrat Party has been overtaken by socialists, and the differences in our policy platforms are stark. The November election presents a clear choice: the upheaval of socialist radicalism or the stability of principled leadership! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’ve watched this spark show since I was a small kid, and it never gets old. 🔥🎇
