Rep. Tim Walberg, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Michigan’s 5th district, has recently shared his thoughts on several pressing issues via social media. His posts highlight topics ranging from agriculture to national security and education.

On June 3, 2025, Rep. Walberg acknowledged the contributions of Michigan farmers during National Dairy Month. He noted that "Michigan farmers produce over 12 billion pounds of milk annually," expressing gratitude to "all the hardworking farmers in Michigan's 5th District and across the country for all they do to feed America."

Later that day, he emphasized the importance of passing the DETERRENT Act in the Senate. According to Rep. Walberg, this legislation is crucial as it aims "to shed light on the litany of ways that these foreign relationships have allowed adversaries to infiltrate college campuses." He underscored that "our national security depends on it."

On June 4, 2025, Rep. Walberg announced an upcoming testimony by Education Secretary McMahon before the Education and Workforce Committee. He encouraged his audience to tune in for insights into her priorities: "Soon: @EDSecMcMahon will be testifying before the @EdWorkforceCmte on her priorities."

Tim Walberg has served in Congress since 2011 after replacing Mark Schauer and previously served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 1983 to 1999. Born in Chicago, Illinois, he now resides in Tipton and holds a BA from Taylor University.
