(Pictured here is Speaker Matt Hall standing next to Secretaries Bessent (Treasury), Lutnik (Commerce), Burgum (Interior) and Duffy (Transportation) in the Oval Office during President Trump’s press conference announcing actions soon to be taken on Asian Carp and Selfridge. This has been years in the making yet it was simple for President Trump to get it done, something Democrats failed to do while in power.)
Under Speaker Matt Hall’s leadership, Michigan House Republicans are celebrating a major victory with the announcement that Selfridge Air National Guard Base will receive a new fighter mission—securing Michigan’s role in our national defense and strengthening the local economy. This win ensures Selfridge remains a critical military asset while supporting hundreds of jobs and bringing major investment to the state.
This announcement is the result of persistent efforts from Speaker Matt Hall and House Republicans who advocated for Michigan’s defense infrastructure and worked with federal partners to deliver. Speaker Matt Hall traveled to Washington D.C. to appear with President Trump and key cabinet members to help get this deal across the finish line. It’s a perfect example of how conservative leadership isn’t just about saying the right things—it’s about doing the right things and getting results.
In helping to deliver this critical mission, Speaker Hall, who has been in close contact with President Trump, made it clear the importance of national security, economic opportunity, and job creation. With this new mission, Selfridge will remain a cornerstone of America’s military strength, and Michigan families will benefit from the economic ripple effect. House Republicans have proven once again they’re focused on solutions that matter—defending our country, growing our economy, and putting Michigan first.
