I do NOT support a statewide mask mandate. I do encourage everyone to honor whatever policies individual businesses, organizations and schools establish. #MILeg #MIGov

Fear is a powerful motivator that can be abused. It appears @GovWhitmer and Dr. Khaldun sought to capitalize on the tragic death of this baby to frighten Michiganders. They should apologize to this grieving family, and seek to motivate with honesty and openness instead of fear. https://t.co/bxlZ7IYy5b
My statement on so-called protestors who used intimidation and the threat of physical harm to stir up fear and feed rancor. I condemn their behavior and tactics. They do not represent the Senate Republicans. At best, those so-called protestors are a bunch of jackasses. https://t.co/641jOzXRDi
Movie theater owners challenged @GovWhitmer's inconsistent orders in court. They still can't open. Bowling alley owners dropped their lawsuit last week. Now they CAN open. I think we finally found the "data & science" she's using to make her decisions... https://t.co/DCOuRzwvtt
The threats against Rep. Johnson were ABHORRENT. I put the people making them in the same class as those I denounced earlier this year jackasses. But she was wrong to respond to threats with threats. @GovWhitmer and Democrats need to denounce threats regardless of the source. https://t.co/09SfYlpggi
We must recognize the difference between the protestors who gathered to make their voices heard and rioters who seek to co-opt that message for their own purposes. We need empathy and understanding right now, not extremists who destroy property and threaten others. https://t.co/YaHcyRJT56
My latest in the @detroitnews: The Republican legislative majority believes citizens deserve clear direction and equal representation, and we will pursue our argument to the highest court to ensure Whitmer abides by the law. https://t.co/ICj8OBr4oY
There is no force greater, no force more formidable on this Earth than a mother acting in defense of her child. I am proud of the Senates bipartisan vote yesterday to pass Wyatts Law, creating a child abuse database. https://t.co/59wwbhsyGP
Happy Sunday - Today is National Sanctity of Human Life Day. Created by Ronald Reagan through a presidential proclamation on Jan. 16, 1984, it was originally celebrated on Jan. 22 as it marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It is observed annually on the third Sunday in January. https://t.co/N2IKSlp9Il
RT @MISenate: "WANT TO OPEN. CAN'T. CALL GOV." Drive-in movie theaters were social distancing before social distancing was a thing. But @&
