What have Dems done for you lately?
Michigan has become a “manufacturing powerhouse” thanks to the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, passed by Congress with out a single Republican vote, and to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. Biden’s game-changing green energy investments have led to at least $21.5 billion in clean energy projects announced in Michigan—expected to create more than 20,000 jobs in the state.
