“My experience with Congresswoman Stevens’ office and staff was exemplary. Her staff submitted a USCIS expedite request on our behalf because of my husband’s cancer diagnosis and we were approved a few days later. While it is easy to feel that elected officials make promises that they do not fulfill or that our votes do not matter, I have always voted believing that the needs of many take precedence. Until now, I have never really considered the impact that an elected official can have on the nuanced issues within my own life.
For today’s Manufacturing Monday, I had an inspiring visit to Novelis, an aluminum stamping and rolling R&D center in Novi. They’re leaders in producing aluminum components for aerospace & autos and they are moving our circular economy forward!
“I am a veteran and was stationed at Camp Lejune during the time Marines were drinking, swimming and showering in toxic water. I needed information on where on base I was housed in order to determine my level of exposure. I needed my military records for this information. The Department of Defense (DOD) acknowledged receipt of my request in February 2020 and by September 2023 my request was still listed as ‘received.’ I contacted Representative Stevens’ office in October 2023. Her staff contacted me and processed my request to the DOD. Within one month, I had my records in hand.

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI) and Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) introduced a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to designate September 17th as National Physician Suicide Awareness Day. Due to high-stress, intense work environments, and continuing stigma around seeking mental health care, physicians are at greater risk for suicide. According to recent data, each year in the U.S., roughly 300 - 400 physicians die by suicide.
"Unions didn’t just build the middle class. Unions didn’t just sustain the middle class. Unions are the middle class. I saw what UAW members sacrificed to keep the Big Three in business while serving in the U.S. Auto Rescue. Automakers recovered to make record profits, but workers’ wages are still stagnant. That’s not right. To ensure a just transition to the green economy and American competitiveness for generations to come, it is critical workers get dealt in as the U.S. transitions to EVs. Workers deserve their fair share."
