Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC. – Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) announced that she has nominated 22 Michigan students for placement at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO and the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. “I am excited to nominate these 22 incredible students for appointment to our nation’s service academies,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “Serving our country is the most honorable act that Americans can commit; I am so inspired by these students' desire to serve, and I am so proud to be their representative in Congress. I’m rooting for them throughout the rest of the application process!” Students seeking an appointment to a service academy must first obtain a nomination from a nominating source – most commonly through their Members of Congress. Now that these students have been nominated, they must await acceptance of admission by the academy to which they have applied.

Stevens Delivers $8.97 Billion for Infrastructure Improvements in MI-11 | 2021-11-08 | 2021 | 2021-11 | Democrat | House | MI | Haley M. Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Dear Friend, Yesterday was an exciting day! The House voted to pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, making historic investments in our country. For too long, Michigan's infrastructure has suffered from extreme lack of investment; our roads are crumbling, water pipes are bursting, and power lines are easily downed by heavy winds. Our state will receive $8.97 billion from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to make much needed improvements throughout Michigan. This bill will invest in: Roads and Bridges Fixing our roads and bridges is one of the top concerns that I hear from you all. In Michigan, there are 1,219 bridges and over 7,300 miles of highway in poor condition and, on average, Michigan drivers are spending $644 per year in repair costs due to driving on these roads and bridges. Michigan will receive $7.3 billion for federal-highway programs and $563 million for bridge replacement and repairs over the next 5 years. Public Transportation It is absolutely crucial that we have high-quality public transportation that serves everyone. Michiganders spend an extra 67.7% of their time commuting, and 17% of transit vehicles in our state are worn out. Michigan will receive $1 billion over the next 5 years to improve public transportation across the state. Electric Vehicles Auto manufacturers in Michigan know that electric vehicles are the future. However, the current US share of the EV market is only ⅓ of China’s. Michigan will receive $110 million over the next five years to support the expansion of an EV charging network. This investment in innovation will keep America competitive on the world stage as Michigan leads the way in EV manufacturing. Clean Drinking Water This week, Novi, Walled Lake, and Commerce Township residents had to boil their water to safely consume it. This is unacceptable. To ensure that communities across our state have clean and safe drinking water, Michigan will receive $1.3 billion over five years to make updates to our water infrastructure.

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC– Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI) and Congressman Colin Allred (D-TX) led a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi alongside Freshman and Sophomore House members whose districts are being seriously impacted by the semiconductor chip shortage. The Members are urging the Speaker to prioritize passage of the Creating Helpful Incentives for the Production of Semiconductors (CHIPS) for America Actfunding as soon as possible and to enact a semiconductor investment tax credit before the end of 2021. “The automotive and manufacturing sectors have been disproportionately affected by the semiconductor chip crisis,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “Thousands of my constituents work in these industries and their families are seeing the impacts first-hand. Detroit puts America on wheels and this summer multiple automotive plants were forced to shut down because they did not have the chips they needed to complete their work. Passage of the CHIPS Act funding is urgently needed to strengthen our domestic semiconductor supply chain and protect the livelihoods of millions of American workers and their families.” “The semiconductor and chips shortage has shone a bright light on how important this supply chain is, and Congress must act to address this crisis,” said Congressman Allred. “In Texas and across America, dozens of industries and millions of jobs are at stake. There is bipartisan legislation that passed the Senate to strengthen the supply chain with American-made semiconductors and I am proud to lead my colleagues in urging Congressional leaders to move forward on this important legislation.” Full letter is below. The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-222, US Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We write to urge that you work out a path for the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the Creating Helpful Incentives for the Production of Semiconductors (CHIPS) for America Act funding as soon as possible and to enact a semiconductor investment tax credit before the end of 2021.

I want to take a moment to thank you, and to look back on what we've accomplished over the last 1,000 days. Constituent Services A critical part of my job in Congress is ensuring that federal agencies serve my constituents the way that they are designed too. I am very proud to announce that my office has closed 4,000 cases, 4 for every 1 day in office, ranging from issues with the Small Business Administration, the Social Security Agency, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. I am very proud to announce that through casework, we have reimbursed Michigan 11 residents over $28,000,000.

To receive a response in literally less than one hour was truly a blessing." - Jason, Commerce Twp Social Security Testimonial "I have been on social security disability since 2015 and as of January of 2021 my payments stopped. For six months nobody could seem to help start my benefits back up or help me with back payments from either the local office or the Baltimore office.

Judy Chu (D-CA). “Given the high levels of stress, burnout, physical and mental harm caused to physicians by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that we must do more to foster and promote physician mental health,” said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI). “In order to change this risk and trajectory, we must be able to talk about physician suicide openly. This bipartisan, bicameral resolution recognizes September 17, 2021, as ‘‘National Physician Suicide Awareness Day’’ to reduce the stigma of mental health issues and promote a national discussion about physician suicide. America’s health care workers have been the heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic, saving countless lives while putting their own lives at risk. I am honored to bring awareness to this pressing issue and am grateful to my constituent Dr. Luda Khait-Vlisides for her advocacy on behalf of her fellow physicians and for her work on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.” “Recognizing the growing problem of physician burnout and trauma has only become more important during the pandemic, as health care workers have answered the call of duty and faced untold trauma and stress,” said Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA). “I am proud to co-lead the official designation of Physician Suicide Awareness Day on September 17 and renew my commitment to securing for these American heroes the resources and support they deserve.” “As the husband of a physician, I have seen the immense pressures and risks that health care workers like her endure on a daily basis,” Congressman Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) said. “I am proud to be a co-lead of this bipartisan resolution designating September 17th as National Physician S… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |

The service and sacrifice of these brave men and women will never be forgotten, and our nation will forever owe them and their families a debt of gratitude. I remain committed to fully funding VA programs and making sure that all of our veterans receive the care and benefits that they have earned.” “Last month I proudly voted in support of the ALLIES Act, which is providing resources to expand and expedite the Special Immigrant Visa program to ensure safety for those who assisted our troops overseas. The United States must continue to work on the safe and speedy evacuation of U.S. personnel and of our allies in Afghanistan, particularly given the Taliban’s recent takeover of Kabul.” “In November 2019, I was fortunate to visit Kabul and Bagram Air Base on a Congressional trip over the Thanksgiving holiday to meet with American troops stationed in Afghanistan. It was a deeply humbling and eye-opening experience, and I think often about the Afghan women and girls I met during my trip and how they inspired me. The future for women in Afghanistan is now incredibly uncertain. I join the calls of many women's advocacy organizations to find a way to protect women, who have an important role in shaping the future of Afghanistan in the years to come.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:11:17Z |

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC– Today, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) introduced the Increasing Developing Entrepreneurship Access (IDEA) Act of 2021. This legislation will create a grant program to develop a network of business accelerators that promote growth for minority-owned businesses through enhanced access to capital, business networks, and supply chains. The IDEA Act of 2021 fuels more equitable economic growth and wealth-building in regional economies by appropriating $25,000,000 for each fiscal year through 2026. “There can be no denying that the COVID-19 pandemic has hit our small, minority-owned businesses the hardest.” said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI). “One of my top priorities in Congress has always been strengthening and uplifting Michigan business, and a big part of that job is ensuring that economic development opportunities are equitable and available to all. As we continue to recover from the effects of this pandemic, it is crucial that we support our businesses by offering these vital resources. I am excited to introduce this piece of legislation that will strengthen our economy and promote growth among minority-owned businesses in Michigan’s 11th District.” The challenge grant program established from the IDEA Act of 2021 will expand entrepreneurship opportunities among minority-owned businesses by providing investment and networking opportunities, offering start-up capital or opportunities to raise capital from outside investors, and by engaging in partnerships with public or private organizations that target minority business enterprises. Rep. Stevens sits on the House Committee on Education and Labor and Co-Chairs the New Democrat Coalition’s Future of Work and Capitalism Task Force, where she works on both to enhance manufacturing, innovation, and education opportunities and bolster Michigan small business. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z |

Haley Stevens. “My staff and I have been working for months with mayors, township supervisors, local and statewide elected officials from both parties to determine the greatest needs in our communities. Every community project that was identified and submitted to the House Appropriations Committee was funded. When we invest in our communities, they thrive, and this funding will impact countless lives throughout our District.” Birmingham, Auburn Hills, and Bloomfield Police Departments Mental Health Co-Response Program Funded Amount: $260,000 According to reported studies, it is estimated that 10% of all police calls for service in the United States involve a person living with a serious mental illness. These calls involve an individual in a mental health crisis in need of immediate professional help aimed at preventing harm or injury to the individual in crisis or others. Overwhelmingly, the police are the sole first responders sent to assist those in a mental health crisis in the community. This program seeks to build a partnership between Auburn Hills Police, Birmingham Police, Bloomfield Township Police, and the Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN, the community mental health authority in Oakland County).

The goal of this partnership is to better assist those who are in crisis in our community while supporting our law enforcement officers who are so often the first and only responders in times of acute crisis. “According to reported studies, it is estimated that 10% of all 911 calls in the United States involve a person who is suffering from a serious mental health issue,” said Rep. Haley Stevens. “These calls are often at a crisis level, and police are overwhelmingly the sole first responders on the scene.

As the deadline approaches next week to decide whether to extend the border closures, the lawmakers wrote, “To defeat this virus once and for all, it is imperative we continue supporting efforts to keep Americans healthy and safe. Yet, over the past sixteen months, many individuals, families, and businesses across Michigan have been adversely affected by restrictions for international travelers between the United States and Canada. As our nation begins to make a strong recovery, we respectfully add our support to the group of members who have recently written to you and urge your administration to adopt an evidence-based strategy to safely reopen international travel along the northern border. “For over a year, our offices have spoken with distressed families, workers, and businesses in Michigan who have been impacted by the continued travel restrictions. Due to Michigan’s close proximity to the northern border, these issues are particularly salient in our communities. Under current regulations, friends, families, and loved ones continue to be separated, and Americans who own property in Canada are prohibited from safely traveling to their residences. We have also heard from countless businesses who have been financially hurt by the steep decline in international travel and tourism.” To view the full letter, please click here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z |

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC– Today, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) voted in favor of the INVEST Act, a five-year, $715 billion surface transportation reauthorization and water infrastructure bill that will create good-paying jobs and invest in communities like Michigan’s 11th District. Funding for the Beck Road Improvement Corridor was included in the bill as well as two of Rep. Stevens’ amendments to combat wrong way driving and increase research for more resilient infrastructure such as pavement materials. “Finally, through the INVEST Act 18 million dollars will be allocated to SE Michigan to make desperately needed fixes to the Beck Road Improvement Corridor and separate the railroad crossing in Wixom,” said Rep. Stevens (D-MI). “The rate of traffic fatalities on Beck Road are 10 times higher than the regional average, an unacceptable figure. After years of federal funding being denied, I am thrilled to see SE Michigan infrastructure projects being prioritized at the federal level. Two of my amendments were added to the final version of the INVEST Act. The first creates a new program for centers of excellence to improve the resilience of transportation infrastructure, including pavement materials for natural disasters and extreme weather. This is particularly important for Michigan, where climate change is causing increased flooding and rainfall and the paving materials for our roads have not been able to keep up. Finally, my amendment to expand a pilot program on vehicle sensor data solutions to include technology solutions to combat wrong way driving was added to the bill. This is in response to the tragic death of the Abbas family in January 2019, a family of five from Northville who were killed by an intoxicated driver who was driving the wrong way. It is my sincere hope that we can begin working together and using innovation to prevent more senseless and tragic losses.

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Livonia, Mi– Today, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) announced that she secured the inclusion of $2 million dollars for improvements to the Village of Milford water system as part of the Interior, Water and Related Agencies Subcommittee spending package. This Community Funding Project will help the Village of Milford to bring new water sources online and transform their contingency well into a main production well. This entails approximately 3,400 feet of 12- or 16-inch transmission main from the new water well to the existing water treatment plant. Further complicating the issues was the identification of PFAS in the Huron River in 2018 near the well. This funding recommendation was made in their 2014 Water Reliability Study. The connection of the contingency well to the existing water treatment plant is needed to keep pace with Village demand. “I am proud to have secured this much needed funding for the Village of Milford,” said Rep. Stevens. “The necessity of a new well has been a local issue for well over a decade, due to potential environmental threats to the Village’s existing well site. I will always be an advocate for our 11th District communities in Congress and this funding will help keep Milford’s water safe and clean for years to come.” Rep. Stevens submitted several Community Project Funding requests to the Appropriations Committee, FOUND HERE. Information on the status of additional requests will be announced in the coming days. The inclusion of this funding in the Appropriations Committee draft bill is the first step in the funding process. Rep. Stevens will continue to fight for this funding as the bill moves to the full Appropriations Committee, consideration on the House Floor, and negotiations with the Senate. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

Stevens Votes to Fund National Science Foundation at Historic Levels | 2021-06-28 | 2021 | 2021-06 | Democrat | House | MI | Haley M. Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Tonight, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) voted in support of multiple bipartisan bills that will increase funding for the National Science Foundation and create the first ever comprehensive authorization for the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. “I am thrilled that after an overwhelmingly bipartisan mark-up earlier this month, the House voted tonight to fund the National Science Foundation at historic levels and expand its important mission,” said Rep. Stevens (MI-11). “NSF funded research has spurred innovations and launched new industries that advance our prosperity and competitiveness and improve our quality of life. Countries around the world have taken notice and are investing aggressively to replicate our success by building their own research base. The United States will continue to lead the world in scientific research and innovation and I am incredibly proud to see this legislation pass today.” The National Science Foundation for the Future Act will increase overall funding for the agency by $4 billion dollars in fiscal year 2022. This funding increase will allow the full funding of a multitude of projects that have long gone without funding. These unfunded projects offer huge potential for innovation and include a 47% increase in funding to the Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure Program. Additionally, this bill includes historic levels of investment in STEM programs to support and develop PreK-12 students. The Office of Science accounts for half of the Department of Energy’s non-defense R&D budget. The research it does is critical to combating climate change and ensuring U.S. competitiveness in the energy space. The Department of Energy Science for the Future Act will increase funding for fiscal year 2022 and again in fiscal year 2026 and will provide a 7% increase for each of the Office’s core research programs. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

Haley Stevens (D-MI), Vice Chair of the Science, Space and Technology Committee and Chairwoman of the Research and Technology Subcommittee, led a hearing on plastic waste reduction and recycling research. This hearing discussed current federal research as well as innovation that is still needed to address the plastics waste crisis in the United States. The Committee also heard testimony on Congresswoman Stevens’ bipartisan bill, The Plastic Waste Reduction and Recycling Research Act which would increase federal investments in plastic waste reduction, recycling R&D, and recycling standards development. “Only 9 percent of plastic in our country is currently being recycled,” said Rep. Haley Stevens. “This is a staggeringly low figure, and we must do better. Harnessing the power of American innovation and bolstering public-private partnerships is a critical first step. I am thrilled that my bill, the Plastic Waste Reduction and Recycling Act was considered in today’s hearing and witnesses (listed below) who are nationally recognized experts on plastic waste reduction and recycling had the opportunity to offer their insight. I am confident that together we can make major strides to improve our recycling infrastructure and lead the world in the research and development of new, waste reducing technologies.” There are currently no national standards for plastic waste recycling. The Plastic Waste Reduction and Recycling Research Act will direct the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to establish a program to improve the global competitiveness of the United States plastics recycling industry, ensure U.S. leadership in plastics waste reduction, reuse, and recycling research, ensure U.S. leadership in national and international standards development, and reduce harmful effects of plastic waste and plastic waste recycling on the environment. The bill will authorize funding for five years and invest $85 million in fiscal year 2022 for the development of new recycling technolog… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

Fellows are already working with small businesses, franchises, nonprofits and Michigan based companies who have a District presence and will learn firsthand about the role of the federal government in their day-to-day operations and pandemic recovery. Additionally, Fellows will regularly meet with members of Livonia and D.C. based staff to learn about their roles as Congressional staffers. “I am absolutely thrilled to announce these thirteen incredible fellows,” said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI). “They represent the best of the best from Michigan’s 11th Congressional District and I am so proud to represent them in Congress. This summer is an incredible opportunity to learn, as industry, small business, franchises and nonprofits recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Leadership Development Fellows will see how these entities have used PPP loans, grants, American Rescue Plan Act dollars and so much more to continue operations and rebuild. I can’t wait to work with them this summer and welcome them to the Stevens team!” Fellows will complete a project at the end of the summer, either a written reflection, digital scrapbook, or a policy proposal. Staff will meet weekly throughout the summer with Fellows and facilitate discussion on their learning and hear from a lineup of speakers. They will also have an opportunity to meet with and hear from small business owners and entrepreneurs. Through the program, they’ll learn about how policy is made, what government services are available to aid their industry, how businesses apply for grants and how the district and DC offices operate.

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) joined with Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) and members of the Michigan and Texas House and Senate delegations to call for President Biden to address the arrest and subsequent detentions of U.S. citizens Paul Whelan of Michigan and Trevor Reed of Texas when he meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday. "Paul Whelan was arrested in December 2018 and falsely charged with espionage,” said Rep. Stevens (MI-11)."Throughout Mr. Whelan’s detention, the Russian government has repeatedly violated his rights, denied him proper medical care, and refused to provide any evidence to substantiate the charges against him. He was held in pre-trial detention for over 18 months in the notorious Lefortovo prison. Then Mr. Whelan’s trial was held behind closed doors and his defense was prohibited from calling witnesses. Mr. Whelan now serves a 16-year sentence of hard labor. June 16 will mark the 900th day of Mr. Whelan’s unjust detention. Enough is enough. I urge President Biden to advocate on behalf of my constituent and his family. It is time to bring Paul home.” “Trevor Reed was arrested following an altercation with Moscow police in 2019 and accused of endangering the lives of the police officers,” said Rep. Pfluger (TX-11). “During his trial, Mr. Reed’s defense lawyers were repeatedly denied access to additional video evidence that would have proved his innocence. The case presented against Mr. Reed was so ridiculous it evoked laughter throughout the courtroom including the judge. U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan called his trial a “theater of the absurd” and “justice was not even considered” in the case. Mr. Reed was sentenced to nine years in prison camp. The U.S. Embassy in Russia recently issued a statement expressing concern for the health of Mr. Reed, who was recently diagnosed with COVID-19, and who has been cut off from communication with his parents and diplomats for over two weeks. We are deeply concerned for the health of Mr. Reed and while we applaud the State Depa… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

This bill will help to establish the accounting profession as a valuable STEM career pathway and encourage diversity in the future of the accounting workforce. “As a founding Chair of the House Women in STEM Caucus, there are few issues in Congress that are more important to me than working to promote and advance STEM education pathways for our diverse next generation of leaders and innovators,'' said Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11). “This bipartisan bill will work to increase access to high-quality accounting education for K-12 students to improve career awareness and workforce diversity in the field. Our financial institutions and their consumers will benefit tremendously from a strengthened pipeline of talented workers of all backgrounds who are ready to meet the needs of our rapidly changing world.” “As a CPA who worked in a variety of industries, taught accounting at college, and started my own businesses, I understand the importance of finance and accounting skills for our students —regardless of which endeavor they pursue in life,” said Rep. Spartz (IN-05). “I am happy to join Rep. Stevens in leading this bipartisan legislation.” “The accounting profession has always been a leader in using and developing technology to make informed decisions, solve complex problems and improve the delivery of audit, finance and tax services. As the profession continues to apply advanced technology and technology-enabled techniques, it’s never been a more exciting time to be an accounting professional, said Susan Coffey, CPA, CGMA, CEO of Public Accounting at the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants. “We thank Rep.

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11), sent a letter to President Biden, urging the White House to send more direct support and desperately needed hospital supplies to India as they continue to battle a devastating COVID-19 surge. “India is now the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Rep. Stevens. “This past week India registered over 400,000 daily cases. On May 4, there were 3,786 deaths, bringing the total to 226,188 fatalities. The sharp increase in cases has severely strained the healthcare system, overwhelming hospitals, and depleting oxygen supplies. India is in great need of oxygen, therapeutics, and vaccines.” Rep. Stevens represents one of the largest constituencies of Indian-Americans in the United States Congress. In her letter, she asks the White House to increase shipments of oxygen cylinders, Remdesivir, Tocilizumab, and ventilators to Indian hospitals. Full letter can be found below: The Honorable Joseph R. Biden, The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Biden, May 10, 2021 As a representative of a large Indian-American community, I am extremely concerned about the deadly second COVID-19 wave in India. Many of my constituents have family members and loved ones in India who are sick or have recently passed away from COVID-19. India is now the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. This past week India registered over 400,000 daily cases. On May 4, there were 3,786 deaths, bringing the total to 226,188 fatalities. The sharp increase in cases has severely strained the healthcare system, overwhelming hospitals, and depleting oxygen supplies. India is in great need of oxygen, therapeutics, and vaccines. The U.S. and India have a historically strong partnership.

In conversations with Embassy officials and family members at home in Michigan, the situation is unbelievably dire. Yesterday’s’ announcement from the White House is indeed promising and I applaud the Biden Administration for their rapid administration of aid. The United States will be sending PPE, ventilators, rapid testing kits and raw materials so that India can ramp up their vaccine production. There is concern about sending vaccines from the U.S., as their cold sensitivity could render them useless upon arrival, given the distance between our two countries. Sending raw vaccine materials is critical so that Indian manufacturers can keep producing their own highly effective Covishield vaccine. I will continue to do whatever I can to support the Biden Administration as they accelerate aid to India.” “It has been well over a year since we first encountered COVID-19 in Michigan and with the current surge also happening at home, it can be difficult to stay hopeful. I urge my constituents to continue to wear a mask, socially distance, and get vaccinated. During challenging times like these, I lean on my faith and am praying daily for all of my Indian-American constituents who are worried about loved ones overseas and I am praying daily for all of my fellow Michiganders as we continue to live with this deadly virus. I will continue to use my platform as an elected official to encourage proper health guidelines of social distancing, wearing of masks, and regular washing of hands.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z |

Instead, they had to resort to incinerating recyclables or tossing them in landfills. There are plenty of reasons for why and how we got here; however, a major factor is because we failed as a nation to invest in domestic recycling infrastructure and policies to account for the growing use of plastic. As a result, today, the U.S. recycles just 9% of its plastic waste.

This bill strengthens our country’s supply chain readiness to help American companies respond to future disruptions. A Senate companion bill of the same name was introduced by Senators Coons (D-Del.), Rubio (R-Fla.), Hassan (D-NH) and Cornyn (R-TX). “I am thrilled to introduce this bipartisan, bicameral bill with my colleagues in the House and Senate,” said Rep. Haley Stevens. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturers in Michigan’s 11th District and across the country stepped up to meet the industrial call to action, retooling their production lines to make medical supplies that our doctors, nurses and essential workers desperately needed. However, we need to make sure that our supply chains are strengthened and protected against future supply chain emergencies.” “Our over-reliance on foreign manufacturers for essential products and goods was on full display last year as companies and everyday Americans alike faced the harsh realities of back-orders and empty shelves,”said Rep.Troy Balderson.“With these challenges still fresh in our minds, now is the right time for a clear-eyed assessment of our supply chain vulnerabilities and to shore up wherever possible. This bipartisan legislation takes important first steps to ensure the resilience of the nation’s manufacturing workforce and supply chain infrastructure in the event of future emergencies.” The National Manufacturing Guard Act of 2021 establishes an Office of Supply Chain Preparedness in the Department of Commerce that would be responsible for preparing for future crises that would threaten our ability to produce or obtain critical resources, such as personal protective equipment (PPE).

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) voted to extend the ratification deadline for the Equal Rights Amendment to enshrine equality of rights for women in the United States Constitution. The House also voted to reauthorize the bipartisan Violence Against Women Act. “The Equal Rights Amendment was drafted nearly 100 years ago, yet a century later, after passing both chambers of Congress, it is still not a part of our Constitution,” said Rep Haley Stevens. “We must ensure that the ERA becomes the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and remove the arbitrary time limits for ratification. The ERA offers critical legal protections for women in cases of sexual assault, discrimination, pay equality and so much more. This goes hand-in-hand with reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. One in three women are victims of domestic violence and the uptick in cases during the Coronavirus pandemic illustrates the need for robust, long-term reauthorization of this life-saving legislation.” This latest bipartisan, long-term reauthorization of VAWA expands upon the current law by: making vital new investments in prevention strengthening essential protections for the most vulnerable communities improving services for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking making improvements in the criminal justice response to gender-based violence and improving the health care system’s response to domestic violence helping stop abusers and stalkers from obtaining firearms and expanding protections for victims’ and survivors’ financial security, including housing protections and anti-discrimination protections in the workplace. Congresswoman Stevens was a supporter of both of the above legislative efforts last Congress. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

She voted in support of the Bipartisan Background Checks Act (H.R. 8), and the Enhanced Background Checks Act (H.R. 1446). These bills work to close gun purchasing loopholes by mandating background checks on all gun sales. “Too many Americans are killed by gun violence every single day. Today, the House of Representatives took significant action to stop the epidemic of gun violence and protect our communities,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “These bills take necessary steps to ensure that people who should never be allowed to own a firearm do not get access to one through unlicensed sellers. Requiring background checks on all gun sales will save lives and make our communities safer. I applaud the advocates, parents, and community members who have pushed for these bipartisan, common sense safety measures and encourage the Senate to take similar action expeditiously.” Congresswoman Stevens is a member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force and voted for both of these bills in the 116th Congress. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

Haley Stevens. “I am over the moon that this critical provision in the American Rescue Plan Act will save multi-employer pensions. The American Rescue Plan Act included language almost identical to my legislation, the Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act, to fully restore pension benefits for workers in ailing plans over the next three decades. Over one hundred multi-employer pensions, affecting close to one million Americans are in critical status and unable to pay full retirement benefits, crushing countless families. This morning, Congress took action to fully protect the hard-earned retirement of tens of thousands of Michiganders.

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON - Today, Rep. Haley Stevens voted to pass H.R. 842, the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, of which she is a co-sponsor. “Our economy needs a strong middle class to thrive. Unions are essential to strengthening America’s middle class and improving the lives of workers and their families,” said Congresswoman Haley Stevens. “When workers have the power to stand together and form a union, they have higher wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions. I am proud to stand with my brothers and sisters in labor to support the PRO Act.” The PRO Act strengthens the National Labor Relations Act in the following ways: providing new tools to protect workers from anti-union intimidation and retaliation; addressing states’ anti-union “right to work” laws by ensuring unions can collect a fair share payment for the services they are obligated by law to provide; and increasing accountability for violations of workers’ collective bargaining rights. The PRO Act strengthens protections to ensure workers can hold free, fair, and safe union elections. Protecting workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain is critical to rebuilding America’s middle class and improving the lives of workers and their families. When workers exercise their right to organize a union, they have higher wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions. The PRO Act restores fairness to the economy by strengthening the federal laws that protect workers’ right to join a union. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

Congress must ensure that every American has a say in our political system, which will go a long way toward restoring faith and trust in government.” The For the People Act will: Create automatic voter registration across the country Expand early and absentee voting and streamline the vote-by-mail process Enhance and strengthen election security Ban foreign money in American elections Strengthen and expand disclosure requirements for political advertising Bolster ethics laws across all branches of government Congresswoman Stevens was a supporter of this legislation when it first passed the House in 2019 and is a cosponsor. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

This legislation would require the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote research into privacy enhancing technologies (PET) and develop standards for integration of PETs into public and private sector data use to ensure that Americans continue to reap the rewards of data analysis while also protecting their most sensitive information. “I am proud to partner with my colleagues from the Senate, across the aisle and industry as we work together to enhance privacy protections for our constituents,” said Representative Stevens. “It is high time that we research ways in which privacy enhancing technologies can be utilized to protect Americans’ most sensitive and personal data.” “Digital data can be as personal and private as our social security number or information about our personal health,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “We must work to strike a healthy balance between privacy and innovation. This bipartisan, bicameral legislation helps us achieve that goal by researching ways in which privacy-enhancing technologies can complement emerging technologies of the 21st century. With our digital footprint growing each day, I’ll continue working across the aisle to ensure that the industry standards of tomorrow are cognizant of Americans’ digital privacy.” “The growth of large-scale data analysis is driving innovation in areas ranging from health care to transportation to agriculture.

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON - Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) voted in support of the National Apprenticeship Act of 2021 of which she is a co-sponsor. The bill passed with bipartisan support. The bill aims to create nearly 1 million new apprenticeship opportunities by investing in the expansion of Registered Apprenticeships, youth apprenticeships, and pre-apprenticeships. “As a workforce development professional, I know that apprenticeship programs can change lives by opening up new opportunities and giving more people access to a good-paying job,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “The National Apprenticeship Act makes significant investments in our nation’s workforce by creating nearly one million new apprenticeship opportunities over five years. As we live through the deepest economic decline in decades, this legislation would kickstart our economic recovery by expanding programs that are proven to get people back to work. Now more than ever, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage, we need to create career opportunities for hardworking Americans and pathways to good-paying, family-wage jobs.” The Registered Apprenticeship (RAs) system is America’s most successful federally authorized workforce development program. According to the Department of Labor, 94 percent of people who complete RAs are employed upon completion, earning an average starting wage of above $70,000 annually. Yet, according to the most recent data, only 0.3 percent of the overall workforce in America have completed an apprenticeship. Included in the final bill were two provisions by Congresswoman Stevens, the bipartisan Promoting Apprenticeships through Regional Training Networks for Employers Required Skills (PARTNERS) Act and an amendment to promote innovation in the apprenticeship system. The PARTNERS Act will help small and medium sized businesses establish Registered Apprenticeships and work-based learning programs.

Stevens. “Millions of Americans are struggling and in need of their economic impact payments to make rent and keep the lights turned on as our nation nears a full year of living with the COVID-19 pandemic.

He has been denied basic rights, communication with his family, and proper medical treatment. This has gone on for far too long,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “I will work with everyone and anyone to bring Paul home. That’s why I’m urging National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan t0 do everything in his power to ensure the safe and swift release. I hope that the Biden Administration will prioritize this case.” In 2019, Congresswoman Stevens led and passed a bipartisan resolution calling on the Russian government to release Paul Whelan. In 2020, Congresswoman Stevens called on then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor Sullivan to take action in this case. Rep. Stevens’ letter to Ambassador Sullivan can be found below. January 27, 2021 Dear National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, I write to urge you to take all appropriate action to secure the release of my constituent Paul Whelan, who has now spent over 2 years unjustly imprisoned in Russia. In December 2018, Paul Whelan was arrested and falsely charged with espionage. He then spent 15 months in Lefortovo prison under pre-trial detention where he was frequently denied consular access, communication with his family, and proper medical treatment. When he was tried it was behind closed doors and witnesses were barred from presenting evidence in his defense. Mr. Whelan has been in the IK-17 labor camp in Mordovia since he was sentenced last spring. Here he works six days a week in a poorly heated garment factory.

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON - Rep. Haley Stevens has cosponsored HR 1, the For the People Act, a top priority of House Democrats in the 117th Congress. “I am hopeful that The For The People Act will revitalize our democracy by stopping the dominant influence of big money in politics, expanding voting rights, and strengthening ethics laws to combat the culture of corruption in Washington,” said Congresswoman Haley Stevens. “After four years of corruption and blatant disregard for ethics laws in the Executive Branch and the horrific events on January 6th, this legislation is more important than ever before. Congress must ensure that every American has a say in our political system, which will go a long way toward restoring faith and trust in government.” The For the People Act will: Create automatic voter registration across the country Expand early and absentee voting and streamline the vote-by-mail process Enhance and strengthen election security Ban foreign money in American elections Strengthen and expand disclosure requirements for political advertising Bolster ethics laws across all branches of government Congresswoman Stevens was a supporter of this legislation when it first passed the House in 2019. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:19:43Z |

Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON — Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11), House Committee on Education and Labor Chairman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03), Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-1), and Congressman Joe Morelle (NY-25) introduced legislation to shield workers, retirees, employers, and taxpayers from the devastating consequences of the multiemployer pension crisis. The Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act of 2021 (EPPRA) would prevent the imminent collapse of failing multiemployer plans and fully protect the hard-earned retirement benefits of more than one million Americans. “Without Congressional action, over one million Americans are at risk of losing their hard-earned pensions,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “The Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act will address the multi-employer pension crisis once and for all, protecting retirement benefits for thousands of Michiganders while saving taxpayers billions of dollars in the long run. I am thrilled to join Chairman Scott and Representatives Norcross and Morelle to introduce this bill, and I look forward to seeing it signed into law.” Many multiemployer pension plans are rapidly running out of money to pay the benefits owed to retirees. Worse still, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), which insures private sector pension plans, is on the brink of collapse. If left unaddressed, this crisis could nearly eliminate retirees’ pensions, devastate active workers and employers, and cost taxpayers over a hundred billion dollars. According to one estimate, the collapse of the multiemployer pension system would cost the federal government at least $170 billion over ten years in lost tax revenue and increased spending on social programs. The COVID-19 pandemic is threatening to further exacerbate the multiemployer pension crisis as some failing plans cover delivery workers, grocery store workers, and other essential workers. “Through no fault of their own, more than a million Americans—truckers, construction workers, industrial bakers, grocery store workers, and others—are in d… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:19:43Z |

Congresswoman Stevens co-sponsored a resolution written by Representatives David Cicilline, Jamie Raskin, and Ted Lieu to impeach and remove President Trump for inciting an insurrection. In a Saturday morning interview with CNN’s Victor Blackwell, Congresswoman Stevens said President Trump “has proven himself to be a threat and a danger to our Republic and our national security, and he must be removed. […] We are in a moment of crisis, a national security crisis, and we need to use the tools in our toolbox to exercise our Constitution and bring some calm.” “Anyone who cannot join the American people in denouncing the violence or the things that incited this violence is a traitor to this nation,” Congresswoman Stevens continued. “This is a catalytic moment in which we need to act quickly and expeditiously. […] I am not going to sit quietly and stand by in my responsibility and duty to the American people.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:19:43Z |

This bipartisan legislation will strengthen domestic supply chains and help the economy better withstand future disease outbreaks, cyber-attacks, natural disasters, and other emergencies. The bill is cosponsored by Congressman Troy Balderson (R-OH-12). “As we begin a new year with a new Congress, we must prioritize the security and strength of our national supply chains,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “The COVID-19 pandemic has called attention to our supply chain vulnerabilities, which is why I reintroduced the Resilient Manufacturing Task Force Act today. Supply chain interruptions at the beginning of the pandemic left healthcare providers and first responders across the country without essential, life-saving medical equipment. Michigan manufacturers stepped up and met the industrial call to action — switching gears and manufacturing essential personal protective equipment, ventilators, and medical devices. With the vaccine distribution campaign underway to put an end to COVID-19, we must be ready to quickly address potential interruptions in our supply chain. Future national security, public health, and other crises necessitate a resilient national economy. This bipartisan bill will strengthen and secure our national supply chains.” ICYMI: Fox 2 Detroit: Rep.

I believed then as I do now, that it is time for new leadership on both sides of the aisle in Washington. And that's how I have voted today, and two years ago. I want to be clear that I keep the commitments I make to my constituents, even when I am pressured to do otherwise. Both in 2018 and again today, I have been up front about my vote and discussed it directly with the Speaker, with whom I have a positive, professional relationship. Now, more important than DC parlor games, it's time to get to work. No matter who occupies positions of leadership in Washington, people expect us to work together to get things done, for their pocketbooks and their kids especially in the midst of a generational health and economic crisis.

It is truly humbling to have been entrusted by the people of Michigan to continue representing them in the United States Senate. This is an honor of a lifetime, and I'm going to keep fighting for Michiganders and working to bring people together to solve the pressing challenges facing our nation, said Senator Peters.

I am pleased that this commonsense, bipartisan legislation has been signed into law. It will better ensure that agriculture, forestry and rural perspectives are included in drone policy decision-making.

As evidenced by the recent complex cyber-attack on federal and state agencies and the private sector, these threats are serious and can have devastating impacts on our country. I was pleased this legislation included strong provisions to enhance our cybersecurity, and particularly in light of this massive cyber-attack President Trump's veto of this legislation was reckless and ill-advised. Whether it is to take steps to address this pandemic support veterans exposed to Agent Orange or grow Michigan's defense footprint we need this legislation enacted, and I'm glad my colleagues came together on a bipartisan basis to override the President's veto. The legislation includes provisions Peters authored and supported to benefit servicemembers and their families, support Michigan's defense sector and strengthen our national security, including to counter threats from adversaries like China and Russia. Peters previously criticized President Trump's veto of the legislation. As Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Peters has led a number of bipartisan efforts to bolster our nation's cybersecurity defenses.
