Chairwoman Lisa McClain, representing Michigan's 9th District in the U.S. Congress since 2021, has been vocal about key legislative and economic issues through her recent social media posts. Her insights reflect her focus on Medicaid reform and economic recovery under the current administration.

On May 13, 2025, McClain highlighted a statement from House Commerce Chairman Rep. Guthrie regarding a new bill aimed at refocusing Medicaid. She shared his words: "This bill refocuses Medicaid on mothers, children, people with disabilities, and the elderly – not illegal immigrants and capable adults who choose not to work." This reflects an ongoing debate over the allocation of resources within Medicaid.

Later that day, McClain expressed optimism about the nation's economic trajectory. She noted three consecutive months of lower-than-expected inflation rates and remarked on significant reductions in grocery costs: "Three straight months of lower than expected inflation! Grocery costs saw their largest decrease in five years. @POTUS is getting our country and economy back on track." This underscores her support for the current administration's handling of economic challenges.

In another post made on May 13, she reiterated her commitment to protecting Medicaid for vulnerable populations. She stated: "The @HouseGOP is protecting Medicaid for the most vulnerable Americans: pregnant women, single mothers, low-income seniors, and disabled individuals." Her remarks align with ongoing efforts by certain legislators to prioritize aid for specific demographics within healthcare policy discussions.

Born in Stockbridge, Michigan in 1966, Lisa McClain now resides in Bruce. She graduated from Northwood University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree.
