STATEMENT: Rep. Haley Stevens on Dangerous Michigan Air Quality

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to Michigan experiencing the worst air quality in the world today, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens issued the following statement: 

“Today, families across Michigan woke up to some of the worst air quality in the world as wildfire smoke from Canada and northern Minnesota settled over southeast Michigan. To all Michiganders, we will get through this. I encourage everyone to follow public health guidance: stay indoors when possible, keep windows closed, and avoid strenuous outdoor activity.

“This is a reminder that climate change is real, and its impacts are being felt here in Michigan. We must continue investing in clean energy, climate resilience, and the resources our communities need to protect public health and prepare for more frequent extreme weather events.

“Please stay informed by checking local air quality updates and following guidance from public health authorities. Stay safe, Michigan.”
