As our US Senator, what are the biggest challenges Michigan faces moving forward? Yeah. So for me, I think actually this is very simple because we have some very clear existential issues in this state. If we do not grow, if we do not retain and attract more young families, 10, 15 years from now, we will not be able to afford our infrastructure. You're worried about the cost of utilities now. You can't imagine what happens if these communities continue to shrink, if we don't replace our population. (22:53–23:04)
