"It would be an embarrassment for all of Michigan if the voters of the 7th District passed on someone with Barrett's credentials and dedication to service and instead sent the extremist William Lawrence to Washington."

My seventh and eighth bills passed the House of Representatives today with bipartisan support! The Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act — which includes my Home Affordability for Guard and Reserve Act — will deliver the largest benefits expansion for disabled veterans and Gold Star Families in decades while also expanding housing benefits for those who serve.
The most frustrating part of my military service was that we engaged in decades-long conflicts with no defined mission or end date. We cannot allow that to happen again in Iran.
It’s time for Congress to reclaim its war powers authority.
a signal on the politics on Iran.
Rep. TOM BARRETT, a Michigan Republican who holds an extremely competitive Lansing-anchored district, has filed an AUMF giving Trump 90 days to conduct the war in Iran.

I served in the Army for 22 years during the War on Terror. I saw firsthand the total human cost of this foreign policy failure and believe it’s time to rethink how we do things.
Today, I’m announcing the fourth pillar of my Blueprint for a Better America to Recalibrate American Foreign Policy and put a stop to the endless wars. ⬇️
Three of my bills to help our veterans and military families passed @HouseVetAffairs today. Together, we’re expanding financial support for injured veterans and Gold Star families, helping more service members afford a home, and cutting down on wait times for veterans’ health care appointments. Next step: the House floor!
President Trump signed my first bill into law last night!
Less than a year after a passenger jet collided with a military training helicopter in January, my Military Helicopter Training Safety Act will now begin the process of equipping military aircraft with anti-crash technology — making air travel safer for every American.

‼️ICYMI: @RepTomBarrett and House Republicans are leading a bill to make life more affordable for over 500,0000 surviving families and over 7,000 catastrophically disabled veterans.
Read the details on HR 6047 ⬇️
President Trump's executive order and this decision by @SecVetAffairs will give peace of mind to thousands of veterans who deserve benefits, but we can’t stop here. The COVID mandate forced out thousands more under threat of discharge. This is why the House must pass my Patriots Over Politics Act to restore their ability to transfer benefits to their children.
