Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing the 7th district, utilized social media to communicate several messages recently. These tweets address both caution in pursuing change and her role as a speaker at a university commencement.

In a tweet on May 3, 2025, Sen. Slotkin urged her followers: "Don’t tune out. If generations of Americans before us had tuned out, where would our country be?"

Later on May 3, 2025, she emphasized the necessity for measured change, stating: "The American people want change. But that doesn’t mean they want reckless change and breaking things without a plan."

On May 4, 2025, Sen. Slotkin expressed her honor to be the commencement speaker at the University of Michigan's Ford School, noting the hope she derives from the graduates. She tweeted: "I’m honored to be the commencement speaker at the @UMich @fordschool. These graduates give me so much hope, because our country needs effective public servants now more than ever. Tune in at 4PM to hear an unabashed love letter to public service. Go Blue!"

As a member of the U.S. Congress since 2019, Slotkin plays a significant role in legislative activities. She grew up in New York City, holds a degree from Cornell University, and resides in Lansing.
