Sen. Huizenga Tours Gerald R. Ford International Airport
Last year, I hosted a bipartisan group of legislators at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport. In recent years they have experienced tremendous growth and impact across the West Michigan region.
Providing over one hundred flights per day with thirty non-stop flights, the airport has recently undergone major construction upgrades, including a $110 million project to accommodate passenger growth and provide new food and retail options.

Sen. Huizenga Discusses the Tipped Wage at Sundance Bar & Grill
We all have our favorite family restaurants, places we went as children, places we take our families and where we celebrated special occasions.
Unfortunately, starting this year, restaurants will face new regulations that will eliminate the tipped wage system, raising costs for business owners and customers while leaving servers with less money in their pockets.
Join me as I sit down with an employee of Sundance Grill to discuss the impact of these new regulations — and how we can work together to find solutions.

Sen. Huizenga: In Remembrance of 9/11
As we reflect in the days following 9/11, we honor the lives lost and the heroes who emerged from the tragedy. From the passengers of United 93 to the first responders who gave everything, their courage continues to inspire us. My deepest gratitude goes to our everyday heroes—firefighters, police officers, and military—who protect us daily. May God bless America, our troops, and first responders. The Michigan Crossroads Council continues to honor those who sacrificed their lives with a salute from dawn to dusk.
