Matt Hall - State Representative

Thank you to Michigan Works Southwest for the conversation and tour. They connect people with career training and employment opportunities while helping local employers find the skilled workers they need. I’m proud to support state investments like the Going PRO Talent Fund which helps develop the skills Michigan’s economy needs.

When people have opportunities to build careers and provide for their families, our entire community benefits.

Every parent who wants the opportunity to work should have access to affordable, quality care for their children.
✅ MI Tri-Share helps make child care more affordable by splitting the cost between the employee, employer, and state.
✅ MI Care-Share gives employers a new way to support working parents by covering one-third of their employees’ child care costs.
✅ Great Start Readiness Program provides free pre-K to all Michigan 4-year-olds, helping children get ready for kindergarten and beyond.

I support giving parents more choices and making it easier for Kalamazoo and Allegan families to find the care and education that works for them.

Happy 60th Anniversary to Kalamazoo Valley Community College!

I appreciated the opportunity to tour the campus this week and discuss the expansion of Michigan Reconnect in the state budget, which helps eligible adults earn a tuition-free college degree or certificate.

Increasing access to career and technical education gives students more pathways to good jobs and helps build a stronger future for our communities.

It was an honor to attend today’s memorial ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11. We gathered to remember the lives lost, honor the courage of the first responders and ordinary Americans who stepped forward, and reflect on the enduring strength of those who carried on.

My special guests were: Chief Darrien Smith, Officer Evan Finch, Chief Patrick Doran, FOP President Tim Randall, FOP Vice President Robert Smith, Sheriff Richard Fuller, Pastor Eric Jones, and Pastor Alexa Jones.

May we always remember. May we always honor their sacrifice. And may we never forget.

I’m working to lower the everyday costs families face.

Loyal customers shouldn’t be punished with higher prices. I voted to prohibit insurers from using “price optimization” to charge you more simply because they think you’re unlikely to shop around for a better rate.

I also voted to expand access to lower-cost E15 and E85 fuels, which would save drivers money while supporting Michigan farmers.

Lower costs. Fairer prices. More money back in Michigan families’ pockets.

Hunting isn't just a pastime here in Michigan, it's a tradition passed down through generations, one that keeps us connected to the outdoors and to each other. Whether you're a longtime hunter or a first-time participant, I wish you success and safety in the months ahead!

It’s game day! As a proud Western Michigan alum, there’s nothing quite like seeing the Broncos back on the field.

Also, congrats to WR Corey Davis and QB Zach Terrell on your recent inductions into the WMU Hall of Fame!
