Congressman Tom Barrett has used his social media platform to address a range of policy issues relevant to mid-Michigan families. On March 10, 2026, Barrett highlighted his efforts in health care reform, adoption support, and national security.
In a post published at 14:12 UTC on March 10, Barrett stated, “The status quo isn’t working for mid-Michigan families. I joined @AFPMichigan’s Tim Golding to lay out some of the real solutions to these deep-rooted problems so we can finally put patients first and make health care more affordable again.

Later that day at 15:34 UTC, Barrett addressed adoption policy, writing, “Every child deserves a loving home — and every family who wants to provide one should be able to. That’s why I helped pass the Working Families Tax Cuts to strengthen the Adoption Tax Credit and make it easier for more families to adopt.”
At 19:40 UTC on March 10, Barrett commented on federal funding for homeland security: “Every day Democrats in Washington refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security is another day Americans’ safety is put at risk.”
Congressman Tom Barrett represents Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. The Working Families Tax Cuts referenced by Barrett are part of ongoing legislative efforts intended to expand tax relief for working- and middle-class families by enhancing credits such as the Child Tax Credit and Adoption Tax Credit. These measures are designed to ease financial burdens associated with adoption and family care.
Funding debates over the Department of Homeland Security have been recurrent in Congress, often centered around broader disagreements over immigration policy and federal spending priorities.
