ICYMI: Rep. Haley Stevens Blasts Trump’s Reckless War with Iran and the Rising Costs Hurting Michigan Families
March 23, 2026
Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, Congresswoman Haley Stevens joined Bloomberg Balance of Power to call out President Trump’s reckless war with Iran, the rising costs crushing Michigan families, and the urgent need to bring our manufacturing supply chains back home.
Stevens also highlighted her work to strengthen domestic manufacturing, reduce dependence on China, and restore accountability in government.
Here’s what Michiganders are seeing and hearing about Rep. Haley Stevens standing up for Michigan workers, families, and manufacturers:
- “No, it's a war that he [Trump] started on his own. Michiganders don't want this. They're paying for it. We have 200 injured. It's hitting us at the gas pump. It's hitting us in our pocketbooks, and it's something that the President began without the consultation of the American people, and certainly of Congress. So, I voted for War Powers, and I continue to stand with the Michiganders who want something much better than what they're getting from this administration right now.”
- “We've dealt with reckless and chaotic tariffs that have threatened our manufacturing sector. Our economy has been rocked as a result of this, and now those gas prices that are coming down on Michiganders, who are just trying to get to their job, to pick up their kids from school, go to the store, and get what they need to get. It's just another strangulation. It's not acceptable. It's not working for us. This is an overreach. There's no plan. There's no strategy, and I'm not going to go along with that.”
- “I want the world to see what we do in Michigan. That's where I'm always going to stand. We've got the vice president bopping around my district today, going to a manufacturing shop. I've spent years being with these manufacturers, advocating for them at the law making table, and we've got to win the race against China from the place that I call home, but that race is not going to be won if we're pushing our allies into the arms of, you know, the adversaries here, particularly on the energy costs and on trade, and so I've got a lot of concerns.”
- “I've got bills that I've helped pass, and bills to come, on lessening our dependence on China for our supply chain, lowering costs, creating jobs. We've done that on CHIPS. I want to do that for critical minerals. I want to secure our supply chain from the place that I'm so proud to call home. We're the best manufacturing economy in the world, and our state needs a champion. That's what I'm advocating for each and every single day here.”
- “I just authored a bill…People here, we got to stop that stock trading in the House of Representatives, the Senate and also in the executive office, and that's what my bill does, no sitting on corporate boards. Stop the grift here. And so we're all paying that price. I want to see tax fairness.”
