Rep. Dan Kildee, serving in the U.S. Congress representing Michigan’s 8th district since 2013, has recently shared several updates and opinions through social media posts. These updates highlight his ongoing initiatives and stance on various issues impacting his constituents and the broader community.

On November 18, 2024, Rep. Kildee announced a significant development for Bay County's emergency response capabilities: "The Bay County Sheriff's Department received a new airboat thanks to the federal funding I secured." He emphasized that this new equipment will aid in water and ice rescues, contributing to the safety of mid-Michigan residents.

Later that day, he expressed concerns about fiscal policy, particularly regarding healthcare funding: "We should not be cutting health care for working Americans in order to pay for a massive tax cut for billionaires and wealthy corporations." This statement reflects his advocacy against reducing healthcare resources for Americans while favoring tax cuts for wealthier entities.

On November 19, 2024, Rep. Kildee addressed environmental concerns related to nuclear waste storage: "Permanently storing nuclear waste in the Great Lakes basin will endanger our economy, livelihood, and way of life." He reiterated his opposition to such plans and highlighted his collaborative efforts with both Republicans and Democrats to safeguard natural resources and public health in Michigan.
