Michigan needs more high-wage jobs. Kristen is helping us invest in our workforce to prepare Michiganders for the jobs of tomorrow, because while college isn’t for everyone, good-paying jobs should be.
Commitment to invest in workforce preparation for future jobs.
McDonald Rivet said she helped pass the Farm Bill in the House and highlighted that it includes the Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act, plus rural capital and infrastructure provisions.
This is the clearest recent official sign of jobs-focused work: she helped move a House bill containing a jobs-oriented provision, but it is still only House-passed and not evidence of completed job creation in mid-Michigan.
McDonald Rivet co-introduced the SNAP Rotisserie Chicken Act, another concrete legislative action during the lookback window, though it is not a direct jobs measure.
Recent activity shows continued legislative effort, but this item does not demonstrate delivery on the jobs promise and does not by itself resolve the claim.
Her official House biography lists her priorities as cutting taxes, lowering costs, and bringing good-paying jobs to mid-Michigan.
This official source confirms the promise is an active federal-office priority for Michigan's 8th District, including Genesee, Saginaw, Bay, and Midland counties.
The official press-release index lists an April 30, 2026 release titled Rep. McDonald Rivet Helps Pass Farm Bill Through House of Representatives.
This supports same-term legislative effort tied to agriculture and rural development, but the index alone does not prove enactment or completed job creation in mid-Michigan.
Congress.gov identifies H.R.7567 as the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, with latest action on February 13, 2026 referred to the House Committee on Agriculture and status Introduced.
The official bill-status record does not show the farm bill became law by the evidence date, so farm-bill activity cannot count as full delivery of the jobs promise.
The bill text includes rural business development grants, rural innovation stronger economy grant provisions, jobs accelerators, and biotechnology and biomanufacturing policy language.
The bill contains job- and rural-development-related provisions that could support the promise if enacted, but the text itself is proposed legislation rather than delivered jobs.
McDonald Rivet announced a $4,657,313 DOT/FAA Airport Improvement Program grant for MBS International Airport runway work and said it would create good-paying construction jobs.
This is the clearest evidence of actual federal funding linked to jobs in the region, but it is a project grant and does not prove broad fulfillment of the overall jobs promise.
Reporting says McDonald Rivet sought Community Project Funding for mid-Michigan infrastructure, blight removal, university development, and road safety, arguing the projects would create good-paying jobs and attract investment.
This shows concrete same-term appropriations advocacy for local economic-development projects, but requests are not the same as enacted funding or completed job creation.
Reporting says McDonald Rivet and Brian Fitzpatrick introduced the Keep Call Centers in America Act of 2025 to discourage offshoring and prioritize U.S.-based call centers for federal contracts.
The bill is a concrete jobs-related action, but it concerns domestic call-center retention generally and does not show enacted law or specific new mid-Michigan jobs.
AP reported that a planned Sandisk semiconductor facility near Flint fell through after forecasts of 9,400 permanent jobs and 5,000 construction jobs; McDonald Rivet called the lost project a potential game-changer for mid-Michigan.
The failure of a major regional jobs project weighs against full delivery, although the article attributes the collapse to broader economic conditions rather than solely to McDonald Rivet.
The promise is broad but outcome-oriented: bringing good-paying jobs to mid-Michigan. The evidence shows McDonald Rivet materially advanced jobs-related federal legislation by helping pass a House Farm Bill that included the Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act and rural capital/infrastructure provisions. However, the measure had only passed the House as of the evidence date, and there is no evidence that the relevant provisions became law or produced completed job creation in mid-Michigan. Her action supports credit for serious same-term effort and partial progress, not full delivery.
