Elissa Slotkin, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Michigan’s 7th district since 2019, recently took to social media to discuss legislative efforts related to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) and other policy matters. In her series of tweets, she emphasized the importance of environmental protection and bipartisan collaboration.
On February 12, 2025, Rep. Elissa Slotkin shared a link for more information about the proposed bill, stating: "Learn more about our bill here: https://t.co/yx0oCZSS9u".
Slotkin further expressed her commitment to protecting critical programs from budget cuts by past administrations in another tweet on the same day: "Time and time again the Trump administration has tried to zero out this program, and it’s more important than ever we protect it. That's why, I am honored to take up the mantle from Senator Debbie Stabenow and work alongside @SenGaryPeters to get this bill done."
Highlighting environmental concerns related to Michigan's economy and natural resources, Slotkin tweeted: "Our Great Lakes power our MI economy, and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative ensures we protect our Lakes for generations to come. From controlling invasive species to responding to algal blooms to building up our waterways infrastructure – the GLRI is a critical tool."
