12/15/2020 Tweet - "Michigan put the world on wheels & has always been at the forefront of innovative technologies. If Gov. Granholm is chosen as Energy Secretary, I know she'll support our manufacturers and workers while making sure our country leads the fight against the climate crisis."

03/19/2020 Tweet - "I worked with the State Superintendent and the USDA to ensure Michigan children won't miss a meal while our schools are closed. Families can learn where to find meals for their kids here:"
03/02/2020 Tweet - "The Trump administration's latest effort to undermine government scientists is dangerous for our future. Instead of sabotaging scientists, it's time to listen to them and start taking action to solve the climate crisis!"
