Key Points:
-
- The group met with senior federal officials to discuss critical issues affecting Michigan communities.
- Approximately 30 state representatives were invited to the event.
- Attendees engaged in discussions with high-ranking members of the Trump administration, including Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and officials from the U.S. Department of Treasury and the White House Domestic Policy Council.
- The group also toured the West Wing.
“Maintaining a strong line of communication between state leaders and the White House is essential,” Representative Ann Bollin (R-Brighton) said. “It was encouraging to see the Trump administration make this a priority and create a space for thoughtful dialogue about how federal decisions impact states like Michigan.”
