Rep. Tim Walberg, serving Michigan's 5th district since 2011 after succeeding Mark Schauer, has recently shared insights on several legislative initiatives through his official social media account. Having previously served in the Michigan House of Representatives between 1983 and 1999, Walberg leverages years of political experience focusing on policies relating to broadband deployment, parental rights in education, and limiting judicial overreach.
On April 9, 2025, Rep. Walberg emphasized the need for a national strategy for broadband deployment to avoid duplicative efforts. He mentioned his collaboration with Rep. Scott Peters to introduce the PLAN for Broadband Act aimed at enhancing coordination among federal agencies to bridge the digital divide. Walberg stressed the importance of ensuring equal access to broadband for all citizens.
Later the same day, Walberg advocated for parental rights in education by highlighting the recent advancement of the PROTECT Kids Act by the Education and Workforce Committee. This legislation mandates parental consent before any changes are made to a child’s sex-based accommodations in schools. The initiative seeks to guarantee that parents are involved in key decisions regarding their children's education.
On April 10, 2025, Rep. Walberg addressed concerns about judicial overreach by pointing out the passage of the No Rogue Rulings Act by House Republicans. The act aims to ensure federal courts remain within their jurisdiction, thereby respecting the legislative will of the American public.
Rep. Tim Walberg, born in Chicago, Illinois in 1951, currently resides in Tipton. He graduated with a BA from Taylor University.
