RECAP: MI Congresswoman Haley Stevens Introduces Three Major Bills To Protect Michigan Troops, Workers, And Communities

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced three major pieces of legislation that strengthen national security, protect union jobs, and prepare communities for severe weather.

Here’s a look at what she delivered for Michigan families:

On Tuesday, Haley introduced the SHIELD Act (Strategic Homeland Information Education and Learning Defense Act), a bill to protect U.S. servicemembers from foreign disinformation and extremist ideologies. With Michigan home to thousands of servicemembers, the legislation ensures troops are safeguarded against online threats while strengthening national security.

On Wednesday, she introduced the TWISTER Act, which unanimously passed the House Science Space & Technology Committee as an amendment to the Weather Act Reauthorization. The TWISTER Act would modernize tornado research to improve severe weather forecasting and early warning systems. Michiganders know firsthand the damage tornadoes and violent storms can bring, from flooding in Metro Detroit to twisters across the state. This bill gives families and local officials the tools they need to prepare, respond, and recover when disaster strikes.

On Thursday, Haley introduced the Union Auto Workers Job Protection Act, reaffirming her commitment to Michigan’s proud auto workers and automotive future. The bill protects union jobs, strengthens domestic auto manufacturing, and ensures Michigan remains the heartbeat of the American auto industry.

“These three bills speak to the heart of what I fight for every day: protecting our troops from modern threats, defending our workers and their livelihoods, and keeping our communities safe,” said Rep. Stevens. “Michigan families sent me to Washington to deliver, and I’ll never stop fighting for them.”
