“The workers of the Michigan Machinists Council are essential to building our state’s infrastructure and keeping Michigan’s economy strong,” said Congresswoman Haley Stevens. “I am honored to earn their support and will continue fighting for safer job sites, stronger collective bargaining rights, and more good-paying union jobs that grow Michigan’s middle class.

Haley’s strength comes from her relentless focus on protecting and growing Michigan manufacturing, fighting Trump’s reckless tariffs that undermine Michigan industries and jobs while increasing costs, and working to make groceries and health care more affordable for Michiganders.

She’ll continue that record of winning for Michigan to the U.S. Senate.
