I am so honored to have this opportunity to serve the people of the 110th District. @BeauMattLaFave
Spent the afternoon on the road with @MichStatePolice Troopers from the Calumet Post. Enjoyed learning about their important role firsthand as well as various public safety issues affecting the Copper Country. Proud to #BackTheBlue!

Hey, Upper Peninsula: we hear you, and we’re sorry for misplacing you on our #DEWnited map. Give us a chance to right our wrong. Help us fill this special edition label by telling us all of the things you love about the Upper Peninsula (note to self: located in MICHIGAN)
I was happy to help this evening with the restoration project at the Schoolcraft cemetery in Calumet.
I was happy to stop by the @MichStatePolice Calumet Post for the open house! Back our blue! 👮♂️👮♀️
To all those that gave the ultimate for their Country, I give you my deepest respect and thanks. This Memorial Day weekend, remember those that lost their lives defending our freedom.
