Yesterday, I gathered with JPMorgan Chase and innovation partners for the Michigan Resiliency Summit. We’re proud to welcome JPMorgan Chase to Detroit to help us build on our work to grow our economy, secure the future, and compete to win on the global stage.

I ran on fixing the damn roads and bridges in communities across Michigan. Today, I’m so excited to be at the reopening of the Miller Rotunda Bridge, a key piece of infrastructure that supports our economy and connects people to the heart of Dearborn.

We put the world on wheels. Now, we’re working hard to expand our mobility capabilities with our Advanced Air Mobility Initiative and the Michigan Maritime Strategy. Our progress is a reminder -- if you want to build the next big thing, come to Michigan.

Today, I’m gathered with transportation and mobility leaders at the ITS America Conference & Expo. What better place than the Motor City to share innovative ideas and build on our long history as a leader and the #1 state for mobility, electrification, and automotive R&D.

North Muskegon Public Schools are turning free school meals into a hands-on learning experience through the Norse Villages program. Powered by Michigan’s free breakfast and lunch, students are stepping into the world of sustainable food and making their own healthy smoothies.

1.4 million kids + 180 school days + 2 free meals a day = focused students and relieved parents. Free breakfast and lunch is an equation for success. It helps kids stay focused in class while saving parents an extra $1,000 PER year, PER child. Let’s make it permanent!

Gun violence is an epidemic we can solve. When we focus on common sense solutions, we save lives. We can and will build a safer tomorrow, together.

During Men’s Health Month, we must work to reduce stigma and break down barriers that keep our fathers, brothers, sons, and friends from getting the care they deserve. Change starts with honest conversations, education, and listening to the men in our lives.
