Elections, ethics & government

Congressional stock trading

Members of Congress shouldn’t be playing the stock market for profit while mid-Michigan families struggle to get by. That’s why I voted to ban stock trading in Congress this week, and it’s time for the Senate to do the same.

Voter ID

The American people agree: It's time to ban stock trading in Congress and require photo ID to vote. Today, I voted to do both when we passed the Stop Insider Trading Act.

Other priorities

War powers

I’m proud to have @WithHonorAction’s endorsement of my three bills that would repeal a 1957 authorization for use of military force and prevent the United States of America from finding itself in the middle of another endless war.

Alzheimer's screening

I’m proud to cosponsor @VernBuchanan’s Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention Act to ensure Medicare covers innovative and necessary blood-based tests that can help detect the disease in its earliest stages.
