Chairwoman Lisa McClain, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Michigan's 9th district, shared a series of tweets on May 20, 2025, addressing various issues ranging from civil rights to national security and legislative initiatives.

In her first tweet at 19:21 UTC, McClain stated that "@POTUS has been clear. American taxpayers will not foot the bill for ANY University that refuses to protect the civil rights of Jewish students." This statement highlights a firm stance on ensuring universities uphold civil rights protections for Jewish students.

Later, at 20:07 UTC, she expressed commitment to passing legislation aimed at supporting families affected by the border crisis. She tweeted: "We will pass this transformational legislation for the families who lost loved ones to the border crisis. For Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Zach Cullen, Agent Raul Gonzalez, and so many others." This indicates ongoing legislative efforts to address losses attributed to border-related incidents.

At 20:46 UTC, McClain addressed national security concerns and praised former President Trump’s contributions. She remarked: "Our homeland is not secure. We must be able to counter the threats of the modern age. I applaud President Trump for leading the way on this generational investment in America’s defense and the safety of all Americans." She also mentioned plans by @HouseGOP to support these initiatives.

Lisa McClain was born in Stockbridge, Michigan in 1966 and currently resides in Bruce. She graduated from Northwood University with a BBA in 1997 and has been serving in Congress since replacing Paul Mitchell in 2021.
