She knows that we can accomplish more by working together on critical issues like protecting our Great Lakes, lowering the costs of healthcare, improving our infrastructure, and creating jobs by supporting manufacturing and leveling the playing field for our workers.

Source-published biography

Debbie has experienced all sides of the opioid epidemic and her bipartisan legislation to address the issue has been signed into law. She has told her personal story on how she was raised in a household with someone who shouldn’t have had access to a gun and used her passion to fight for legislation to take guns out of the hands of domestic abusers. This inspired her to found the Bipartisan Working Group to End Domestic Violence, which has rallied support around the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act and the narrowing of the dangerous “boyfriend loophole.” As Co-Chair of the Medicare for All Caucus, Debbie has also been a leader on the fight for Medicare For All, and her advocacy on the issue led to the first Congressional hearings on her bill.

Health care

Candidate position

Debbie firmly believes you should be able to go to the doctor when you need to go to the doctor and get the medicine and treatment you need. When you have been prescribed life-saving drugs, you shouldn’t have to ration doses just to afford them. That’s why Debbie is a Co-Chair of the Medicare for All Caucus and a House lead of the Medicare for All Act. She is fighting to protect pre-existing condition protections gained through the Affordable Care Act, and is working to pass multiple pieces of legislation with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to lower the costs of prescription drugs, speed up access to treatments, and ensure there is a strong healthcare workforce ready to provide the critical services patients rely on in every community.

Labor and unions

Candidate position

Debbie is fighting to keep good-paying jobs in the United States by supporting our domestic manufacturing industry, including the automotive industry in Southeast Michigan. For too long, poor trade deals, outsourcing, and the decline of unionization have hollowed out the industrial base. Rebuilding American manufacturing and protecting workers will always be one of her top priorities. This includes by also renegotiating the USMCA, and ensuring tariffs are implemented in a way that helps–and not harms–our domestic industries. She’s also committed to ensuring that emerging companies and entrepreneurs in the region have the opportunities and resources needed to explore innovative business ideas and position themselves for future success.

Social Security

Candidate position

Hundreds of thousands of Michiganders rely on Social Security and Medicare. These men and women worked hard for decades and paid their fair share to support these vital programs. Debbis is a co-sponsor of the Social Security 2100 Act, a bill that increases Social Security’s vital benefits while making the system financially strong throughout the 21st century.

Seniors and long-term care

Candidate position

Debbie believes all seniors should be able to live and age with dignity. She has championed several efforts to expand access to home- and community-based services to help seniors and individuals living with disabilities access care in the comfort and safety of their own homes. As the largest payor of long term care in America, she is also fighting back against the draconian Medicaid cuts made through the Big Ugly Bill, which are putting long term care further out of reach for seniors across the country.

We must ensure that our nation’s veterans receive the services they have earned when they get home — from healthcare, including mental healthcare, to education and training so they can find civilian jobs, to fighting the scourge of homelessness that hits our veteran community so hard.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
