Congressman Tom Barrett, who represents Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, shared updates on his recent engagements with local communities and businesses through a series of posts on his social media account.

On April 10, 2026, Barrett described his meeting with students in Hartland: “I enjoyed meeting with a group of bright middle and high school students at a @TPUSA chapter meeting in Hartland this week. We had a great conversation about our American system of government and public service. Thank you for having me!”

The following day, April 11, he highlighted the role of AgroLiquid in St. Johns: “AgroLiquid in St. Johns supplies farms in Michigan with the fertilizers they need to grow food for the world. Thank you to @USDA Undersecretary Richard Fordyce for coming to mid-Michigan this week to visit this local business and witness the hard work of our farmers and”

Later that same day, Barrett posted about Campbell Press Repair in Lansing: “Campbell Press Repair in Lansing is powering manufacturers around the world by keeping critical metalworking equipment running. I had a great time meeting with their skilled team and hearing how the Working Families Tax Cuts are helping them keep more of what they earn.”

Barrett’s district covers parts of mid-Michigan, including Lansing and surrounding areas. The region has a diverse economy encompassing agriculture, manufacturing, and education sectors.

Turning Point USA (TPUSA), mentioned in Barrett’s first post, is an organization focused on promoting conservative values among young people through student chapters across the country.

AgroLiquid is recognized as a major supplier of agricultural fertilizers within Michigan and beyond. The company collaborates closely with local farmers to support crop production.

The mention of Working Families Tax Cuts refers to state-level tax policies designed to provide financial relief for working-class families by reducing their overall tax burden.

Richard Fordyce previously served as USDA Farm Service Agency Administrator before taking on additional leadership roles within the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
