Trooper Tara-Marysa Guting was out there to keep us all safe and she gave it all. This holiday season as we gather with our loved ones, letโ€™s think of Trooper Gutingโ€™s family and the empty chair that is left behind. ๐Ÿ’” #gonebutneverforgotten

This is what leadership looks like, talking to people about issues regardless of their party. We shouldnโ€™t allow red/blue to define us. Personal freedom transcends party. #transrightsarehumanrights @SarahEMcBride

Last night, I met Heather, her husband will have to pay $1,400/mo for health insurance if Congress doesnโ€™t extend ACA subsidies. Decisions our leaders make have real and devastating consequences on people like Heather. We canโ€™t let political games hide the impacts on real people.

It seems pretty simple to me: make sure hungry kids have food, make sure health insurance premiums donโ€™t skyrocket, and reopen the government. Itโ€™s sad that this common sense approach seems so out of reach for Congress.

Issuing coins with your face on them while people are losing their health care is a bad look. We need the President focused on affordability, not vanity.

As our state economy struggles with the impacts of tariffs, this is another blow to jobs and growthโ€”especially in our rural areas like Centralia and Tri-Cities which have big projects planned. We need a Plan B to save as many jobs and investments as we can!

The continuing attacks on places of worship must stop. My heart breaks for the LDS community in Michigan and around the world. People gathering to worship and be in community together represents the best of us. This was an attack on all of us. We canโ€™t allow it to become normal.

Itโ€™s always a best practice to consult your health care provider for advice on which medications you should take and which to avoid. And a friendly reminder that the President (of either party) is not an accredited health care provider.
