Speaker Matt Hall and House Republicans once again outworked and outmaneuvered
weak Senate Democrats by securing critical funding for Selfridge Air National Guard
Base after weeks of political games and unnecessary delays.
Despite repeated attempts to stall the process, House Republicans held the line and
ensured the funding passed, protecting a crucial military installation and supporting jobs
tied to Michigan’s defense industry in southeast Michigan.
Speaker Hall made clear from the beginning that Selfridge was too important to become
a bargaining chip for unrelated political priorities. Thanks to the leadership of President
Trump and House Republicans standing firm, the runway funding is now moving forward
and Selfridge will continue its historic legacy serving both Michigan and the nation.
This victory reinforces a broader point that has become increasingly clear in Lansing.
Speaker Hall delivers results because he is willing to stand firm, reject political
gamesmanship, and fight for Michigan communities even when others try to stand in the
way.
