Chairwoman Lisa McClain, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Michigan’s 9th district since 2021, shared updates on legislative and trade developments through her official Twitter account on July 23, 2025.

In a post published at 14:26 UTC, McClain highlighted recent trade agreements facilitated by President Trump. She wrote, "Yesterday marked the LARGEST day in trade history thanks to President Trump! @POTUS secured historic trade deals with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. He is opening up trade for U.S. exports of ag products, autos, and much more!"

Later that day at 16:45 UTC, McClain addressed her legislative efforts regarding currency production costs. She stated, "It doesn’t make sense to keep producing pennies. Watch my remarks during a House @FinancialCmte hearing marking up my bill the Common Cents Act."

At 17:42 UTC on the same day, she announced progress for her proposed legislation. She said, "Proud to see my bill the Common Cents Act, which would save taxpayer dollars by eliminating penny production, pass out of the the House @FinancialCmte."

McClain has represented Michigan’s 9th District in Congress since replacing Paul Mitchell in 2021. Born in Stockbridge in 1966 and currently residing in Bruce, she graduated from Northwood University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1997.
