@RepPettersen I agree 100%.
But like a thesis, show footnotes with references to data or reports that support the arguments.
No one can refute your arguments or call the allegations out as partisan rhetoric if the facts are supported by data.
I'm in Michigan but I have family in your district
America doesn't have a housing problem without also having a workforce problem.
Nearly 19,000 homes aren't built each year because of the skilled labor shortage.
The solution starts with the workforce pipeline and that pipeline starts with training.

@washingtonpost Helipads don't need to be 80 foot diameter concrete pads.
Using a gravel base and a @TrueGridPaver type material with sod, the surface is resilient enough for traffic yet the lawn would still look like a lawn not an airport.
@washingtonpost "Judge not lest you be judged."
It'll be interesting to see the gilded palace 47 dreams up for his ostentatious museum and what 48 and the rest of Americans think. To each his own.
@HUDgov@SecretaryTurner@RepHuizenga Next time, have your staff reach out to the local Home Builders Association to actually hear from the practitioners that build stuff and know first hand the challenges we face and you and your administration can fix and create solutions for
@SenatorSlotkin How cool! The Fort is definitely a unique place and you were given a rare opportunity.
See you in DC inva couple of weeks for a meeting on housing and skilled trades
@washingtonpost your online Sunday Crossword won't allow me to select Blank Puzzle when I try to print it out. The default is to print with the solution but who needs that? It's the primary reason I'm a subscriber
@HaleyforMI More #housing across all price points is the solution to economic growth for communities, businesses and families in Michigan. Let's have a conversation sooner than later
We've spent the last 17 years #remodeling@PetoskeyArea homes which were diamonds in the rough, painted over to look presentable but structurally and practically deficient. We've made our homeowners comfortable in their homes and at the same time they had equity upon completion
Good to see candidates talking about #housing in @PureMichigan. Every community is facing a housing shortage for residents. This affects the ability for businesses to house their workforce near the job centers. This is an obstacle to economic development and housing security
Weโve got to cut the red tape and make it easier to get into a home.
Local communities know what works. The state should be a partner, not a barrier, to make housing affordable and accessible for everyone.
Letโs get it done. Letโs walk.

@JenniferJJacobs@CBSNews@NicoleSganga How about the fact that the officer fired 5 shots at the suspect from point blank range and none hit the suspect. Seriously?
@RepPettersen My Michigan has a few quadzillion gallons of excess water it could sacrifice to keep thousands of my neighbors from flooding.
I have relatives in your district. I appreciate your compassion and zealous representation.
Builders lobby day in June, hope to thank you in person.
@washingtonpost It's "not a war" or is it? Rs in Congress are enjoying sitting on their thumbs while the Executive Branch runs its Dept. of War amok on several continents. JK-Miller-Vance seeking "resolution to the war in Iran" pretty much admits it's a GD war. Where's the checks and balances?
@SenatorSlotkin Amen!!
Home Builders have been sounding the alarm on this shortage since 2017!!
It's taken this long for the elected and education administrators to finally understand that we know what our industry needs.
Please use @NAHBhome and @NAHBRemodelers as subject matter experts.
@thriftytraveler Likely three times as much to re-position ICE agents from around the country to certain airports, lodge them, feed them, train them, defend them in court for excessive force.
Asinine to say the least.
