Chairwoman Lisa McClain, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Michigan’s 9th district, shared her views on legislative priorities through a series of tweets dated June 5, 2025. McClain has been an active voice since replacing former member Paul Mitchell in 2021 and continues to engage with constituents on various policy issues.

In a tweet posted at 4:07 PM UTC, McClain criticized the Democratic Party's stance on immigration policies, stating, "Democrats have prioritized illegal aliens over Americans while the @HouseGOP has ALWAYS put Americans first." She emphasized that a newly introduced bill aims to ensure taxpayer dollars are used to support American businesses rather than those owned by undocumented immigrants.

Later that day, at 4:47 PM UTC, McClain highlighted her introduction of the Common Cents Act. The legislation seeks to formalize President Biden's executive order aimed at discontinuing the penny. She noted the inefficiency in coin production costs by stating, "It costs FOUR CENTS to make ONE CENT," pointing out the economic impracticality.

At 5:26 PM UTC, McClain extended congratulations to Michelle Bowman for her confirmation as Vice Chair for Supervision of the Federal Reserve. As a member of the Financial Committee, she expressed eagerness to collaborate with Bowman in fostering policies conducive to economic growth and financial stability.

Lisa McClain was born in Stockbridge, Michigan in 1966 and currently resides in Bruce. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Northwood University, obtained in 1997.
