Sen. Huizenga: Remembering the Lives Lost at Pearl Harbor
December 7, 1941, forever changed the course of history. On this day, we remember the lives lost at Pearl Harbor, the courage of those who served, and the resilience of a nation united in adversity.
May we never forget the price of liberty, and may we honor the Greatest Generation by living lives worthy of their sacrifice. On behalf of the State of Michigan, I extend gratitude to our veterans, their families, and all who safeguard our freedoms.
May God bless the heroes we lost at Pearl Harbor, and may God bless the United States of America. (December 7, 2025)

Sen. Huizenga Tours the Van Andel Institute
I had the pleasure of visiting the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids. Founded in 1996, it is dedicated to improving health and advancing biomedical research and education. Since 2015, the State of Michigan has supported its mission and last year I helped secure $1 million to strengthen their work.
The building on the Medical Mile is impressive, but the real treasure is inside, where scientists and students are working to better understand diseases and create solutions that impact West Michigan, our state, and the world.

Sen. Huizenga: On Veterans Day
On Veterans Day, I’m thinking of my grandfather, a proud WWII veteran, and the deep spirit of service in my family.
From my father-in-law in the Marine Corps to my son serving today, I know the pride and the prayers that come with military service.
To all our veterans, thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and the freedoms you’ve defended.
