I wouldn't ordinarily advocate for legislation telling the executive branch how to manage a crisis, but I cannot ignore the outcry from my district & state. We need federal action now, and if the president won't use his authorities, I will do everything I can to push him to act.
The federal government's most urgent task is to accelerate the flow of supplies to our frontline medical providers. Today, @RepRyan, @RepJohnKatko and I are announcing the Medical Supply Chain Emergency Act, to require the Admin. to implement the DPA to produce those supplies.

We need to sound the alarm bells on the cost of insulin. I sat down with Sarah, who will be my guest to the State of the Union on Tuesday, to talk about the over 9% of Michiganders that who have diabetes, whose insulin costs are through the roof. Here’s what she had to say: https://t.co/jciON9gYA2
The urgency of lowering prescription drug costs isn’t a theoretical exercise for Sarah, or for the 800,000 diabetics across our state – and the leaders convening on Tuesday night have the power to finish the job, and sign into law legislation like #HR3 that drives down costs.
Sarah Stark is an incredible advocate for the diabetic community who lives in my town of Holly. This is a receipt from 1999, when Sarah paid $17.75 for a vile of insulin. She now pays 15 times that: $276 per vile. I'm thrilled that, next week, Sarah will be my guest at #SOTU. https://t.co/LSWIs0Js0V
- To allow Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices - To make vision, dental and hearing coverage part of Medicare - To lower out-of-pocket drug costs for Medicare Part D patients Those are the solutions I want to work with the President to pass, for the benefit our seniors.
What do you do when there’s a big basketball game between 2 rival #MI08 teams? You show up and cheer for both! Dave and I had a great time at the Brighton v. Howell game—thank you to students, staff & families on both sides for making us feel so welcome! https://t.co/3DsbMcmZYB
There are some decisions in life that have to be made based on what you know in your bones is right. And this is one of those times. https://t.co/1FN17ZnABw https://t.co/1QYMfNGsDA

I've done everything I can think of to appeal to Sec. Devos to change course on changes to Title IX that make it harder for survivors to come forward. As she insists on moving forward, I felt compelled to introduce a bill to stop them from taking effect. https://t.co/pXPcW1NIgo
It took us an extra day to get all 21 of us to town, but we’re finally sitting down to dinner. To all of you who have supported our campaign in so many ways, we are so thankful! We simply couldn’t do it without you. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! https://t.co/B03mK514La
Was glad to sit down with @camanpour to discuss why working by, with and through coalition partners matters & why it helps protect American lives. Global threats require a global response. That’s why I introduced a resolution to affirm our support for the counter-ISIS coalition: https://t.co/QsiROWNjek
Congress should be able to come up with bipartisan solutions to protect our country. That’s what Task Force Sentry has been doing for the last 3 months: https://t.co/5Og2TSAOcY
Humbled & grateful thinking of those who served 75 years ago today. My grandfather was among them, earning a Purple Heart & Silver Star for his service. The awards now sit in my office, a daily reminder of what it means to serve & put country before all else. #DDay75Anniversary https://t.co/VlWfBFGPqT
Our democratic system is one of compromise, and I have deep concerns about the President’s decision to break with historical precedent and bypass that system, and wield a national emergency declaration as a tool to make good on a political promise.
