Rep. Haley Stevens Leads Bipartisan Build to Scale Reauthorization Act to Strengthen Innovation and Entrepreneurship Across Michigan

Position: Rep. Stevens supports reauthorization and expansion of the Economic Development Administration's Build to Scale program through 2030 to strengthen startup growth, regional innovation hubs, and entrepreneurship, particularly in rural and economically distressed communities.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11), along with Rep. Jim Baird (R-IN), introduced the bipartisan Build to Scale Reauthorization Act of 2026, legislation to extend and strengthen the Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) successful Build to Scale program through fiscal year 2030. The bill helps startups grow, strengthens regional innovation hubs, and creates good-paying jobs across Michigan and the country. Since 2014, the EDA’s Build to Scale program has invested $272 million in 426 projects nationwide, supporting more than 58,600 jobs and 6,200 startups. In Michigan, the program has helped fuel entrepreneurship and advanced manufacturing in communities from Detroit and Ann Arbor to Traverse City to the Upper Peninsula. “Michigan has proven that when we invest in innovation, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship, we create good-paying jobs and make our economy more competitive,” said Rep. Haley Stevens. “The Build to Scale program has helped communities across our state, from Detroit to Traverse City to the Upper Peninsula, grow startups, attract investment, and turn ideas into real products and technologies. This legislation builds on that success by making sure even more communities, especially historically underserved and economically distressed regions, have a chance to be part of the innovation economy.” “Innovation is the driver of economic growth,” said Congressman Baird. “When entrepreneurs are given the tools to thrive, society benefits from new technologies and inventions. The Build to Scale Reauthorization Act of 2026 supports technology-based economic development and new opportunities for innovation, especially in rural communities. This legislation also boosts coordination between the Economic Development Administration and the National Science Foundation to avoid duplicative work and optimize influence. I thank Rep. Stevens for her work with me on this vital issue to help ensure America continues to lead the world in innovation.” The Build to Scale Reauthorization Act of 2026 would: Reauthorize the Build to Scale program through 2030; Expand access to capital for entrepreneurs and startups; Increase outreach to rural, trade-impacted, and economically distressed communities; Reduce barriers to participation through cost-share waivers for distressed communities; Strengthen coordination with federal innovation initiatives, including National Science Foundation programs and Regional Tech Hubs. The legislation builds on Congresswoman Haley Stevens’ strong record on manufacturing and innovation. Stevens has visited nearly 200 manufacturers across Michigan, pushed to strengthen domestic supply chains and advanced manufacturing, and led efforts in Congress to support workforce development and entrepreneurship. She previously introduced legislation to reauthorize the Build to Scale program during the 116th Congress, continuing her work to grow startups and expand regional innovation economies. Michigan organizations that have received Build to Scale funding include TechTown Detroit, Automation Alley, Ann Arbor SPARK, 20Fathoms, Lawrence Technological University, Michigan Technological University, Battle Creek Unlimited, and the University of Michigan. The legislation is backed by the Detroit Regional Chamber, MichAuto, Automation Alley, Wayne State University, State Science and Technology Institute (SSTI), Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), Ben Franklin Technology Partners, and more than 60 economic development organizations nationwide. “The State Science and Technology Institute (SSTI) applauds Representatives Stevens and Baird for introducing this bill to reauthorize one of the most important federal funding programs intended to support locally designed, public-private initiatives addressing private innovation asset gaps. Build to Scale helps Americans all across the country move new products, technologies, and medical inventions to market faster,” said Mark Skinner, President & CEO of SSTI. “The program allows any U.S. region to make its local companies more competitive at a time when global pressures demonstrate that we need that most urgently and in turn, those innovative startups and manufacturers create critical high-wage job opportunities in communities big, medium, and small; rural, suburban, and urban. Our nation’s regional innovation economy benefits greatly from Representatives Stevens’ and Baird’s leadership.” “By leveraging the EDA’s Build to Scale framework, TechTown Detroit and Wayne State University have transformed a $400,000 federal investment into a powerful engine projected to unlock $34.7 million in private capital. This strategic initiative has fundamentally reshaped the regional ecosystem by training 200 new angel investors through the Catalyst Angel Program, ensuring that emerging tech startups have the access to capital and mentorship required to scale,” said Ezemernari Obasi, Ph.D., Vice President of Research & Innovation for Wayne State University. “Ultimately, this high-leverage model serves as a replicable blueprint for urban innovation, strengthening Detroit’s economic resilience while establishing a sustainable pipeline for high-growth entrepreneurship.” “The Build to Scale program has been instrumental in expanding access to capital for early-stage technology companies across Pennsylvania,” said Ryan Glenn, Director of Statewide Initiatives, Ben Franklin Technology Partners. “Through our EDA-supported investments, we’ve accelerated company growth and supported entrepreneurs in underserved regions. We appreciate Representatives Haley Stevens and Jim Baird for leading the effort to reauthorize this important program.” The legislation is also cosponsored by Reps. Wesley Bell (D-MO), Mark Alford (R-TX), Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR). ###

WATCH: Stevens Blasts Trump-McMahon Education Agenda for Threatening Michigan Schools and Workers

Position: Stevens opposes the Trump Administration's efforts to cut career and technical education programs, reduce K-12 funding, and dismantle the Department of Education, arguing these cuts would harm Michigan workers and students seeking middle-class employment.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens blasted President Trump and Education Secretary Linda McMahon over the Trump Administration’s efforts to gut career and technical education programs, slash K-12 funding, and dismantle the Department of Education. At a House hearing, Stevens warned that the Administration’s agenda would hit Michigan workers, students, and schools especially hard at a time when the state is fighting to strengthen manufacturing and fill critical workforce shortages. “It’s clear that [cutting technical education] is not going to make Michiganders achieve the paths for high-paying, middle-class jobs.” Watch the full clip HERE “Madam Secretary, I am strongly opposed to your efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, and I urge you to change course. Our kids’ futures depend on it.” Stevens’ questioning reaffirmed her commitment to defending public education, strengthening workforce training programs, and ensuring every Michigan student has access to the opportunities they deserve. ### Issues: Education

Rep. Stevens Leads Letter Urging President Trump to Address Skyrocketing Energy Prices

Position: Rep. Stevens and colleagues urge President Trump to address rising energy prices and utility costs, arguing that the administration's policies including tariffs and H.R. 1 are driving electricity and gas price increases that strain household budgets.

WASHINGTON, DC – This month, U.S. Representative Haley Stevens (D-MI-11) led a letter with her colleagues in the Lowering Costs Caucus urging President Trump to immediately address the energy affordability crisis straining household budgets across the country. The members highlighted how the Trump administration's policies, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) and chaotic tariffs, are driving these skyrocketing costs. “More than 80 million Americans are struggling to pay their utility bills, resulting in a 30 percent rise in household utility debt in the U.S. The Administration’s policies have exacerbated these economic pressures, with electricity prices rising faster than inflation and ballooning as much as 13 percent nationwide. Looking ahead, your signature domestic policy legislation, H.R. 1, will increase electricity prices by 61 percent over the next decade,” the Representatives wrote in part. “Families across our districts carefully plan their budgets between their mortgage or rent, grocery bills, retirement investments, and health care needs. When the energy market becomes unpredictable and costs increase, Americans are forced to make hard decisions to make ends meet,” the Representatives continued. “Our constituents deserve not only to get by, but to thrive–that starts with ensuring critical markets have the certainty necessary to provide stable, low gas prices.” Rep. Stevens was joined by Reps. Sarah Elfreth (D-MD-03), Hillary Scholten (D-MI-03), Derek Tran (D-CA-45), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Greg Landsman (D-OH-01). The full text of the letter can be found below: Dear President Trump, We write as members of the Lowering Cost Caucus to urge your Administration to take immediate action to provide American consumers with relief from skyrocketing energy prices. Families across our districts carefully plan their budgets between their mortgage or rent, grocery bills, retirement investments, and health care needs. When the energy market becomes unpredictable and costs increase, Americans are forced to make hard decisions to make ends meet. American families have been saddled with an energy affordability crisis. More than 80 million Americans are struggling to pay their utility bills, resulting in a 30 percent rise in household utility debt in the U.S. The Administration’s policies have exacerbated these economic pressures, with electricity prices rising faster than inflation and ballooning as much as 13 percent nationwide. Looking ahead, your signature domestic policy legislation, H.R. 1, will increase electricity prices by 61 percent over the next decade. In 2026, gas prices have soared more than 30 percent. The national average sits at $4 per gallon, up over a dollar since February. This is the most significant jump in gas prices in six decades. This reality–in conjunction with tariffs raising the cost of imported goods by nearly seven percent, and domestic goods by almost five percent–is untenable and places a significant strain on communities throughout the nation. In addition to rising prices at the pump, global market oil shortages have jacked up the price of jet fuel by over 14 percent compared to this time last year. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in fewer flight options, increased fares, and other fees for Americans. This will inevitably limit our constituents from traveling for work or leisure, as well as being there for their loved ones during significant life events such as weddings or funerals. Our constituents deserve not only to get by, but to thrive–that starts with ensuring critical markets have the certainty necessary to provide stable, low gas prices. We share the goal of lowering costs for all Americans, and that includes taking swift action to lower gas and energy prices. The Lowering Cost Caucus stands ready to work with our colleagues in Congress to bring immediate relief to families across the nation, and we encourage your Administration to support these efforts. Thank you for your time and attention to this pressing matter. ### Issues: Economy

Rep. Stevens Blasts Trump on Inflation: “Michigan Workers Are Being Left Behind”

Position: Rep. Stevens opposes the Trump administration's economic policies, arguing that inflation and rising costs for groceries, gas, and housing are harming Michigan families and workers, and criticizes spending on military action in Iran as exacerbating price increases.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the highest inflation numbers in nearly three years, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens issued the following statement: “Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, Michigan families are still getting squeezed: from rising grocery bills to higher prices at the gas pump to the soaring cost of housing. At the same time, his administration is spending billions of taxpayer dollars on a reckless war with Iran that is driving prices even higher. “Michiganders are tired of the chaos, the broken promises, and political stunts. While Trump jets off to China this week with his billionaire friends in tow, Michigan families are being left behind. “I’ll keep fighting every single day to make sure Michigan has a seat at the table in Congress and that Michigan workers come first.” ###

Rep. Stevens Brings Congress to Michigan Autoworkers for Heartland Tour Focused on Global Competition and Manufacturing Jobs

Position: Rep. Stevens advocates for strengthened trade enforcement against Chinese automakers, investment in domestic manufacturing, protection of union jobs, and supply chain resilience through legislation including the No Chinese Cars Act and Union Auto Workers Job Protection Act.

ROMULUS, MI — This weekend, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens joined Ranking Member Ro Khanna and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell for the Michigan leg of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party’s “Heartland Tour,” meeting directly with autoworkers, union leaders, and manufacturers at GM Romulus Propulsion and UAW Local 600 in Dearborn. The visits brought Members of Congress directly to Michigan manufacturing facilities, focusing on the growing threat from global auto competitors and the need for a stronger American industrial strategy that protects union jobs and domestic supply chains. At GM Romulus Propulsion, Stevens toured the powertrain facility and met with plant leadership and representatives from UAW Local 163 to discuss global supply chains and pressures facing the U.S. auto sector. Afterwards, the delegation visited UAW Local 600 in Dearborn for a roundtable with union leadership and autoworkers about job security, trade enforcement, and the challenges facing Michigan workers. “Michigan workers are on the frontlines of America’s competition with China,” said Rep. Stevens. “The future of the auto industry will be determined by whether we invest in American manufacturing, strengthen our supply chains, and stand up for union labor. That’s why it was so important to bring Congress directly to Michigan to hear from the workers and manufacturers driving our economy every single day.” Stevens highlighted several pieces of legislation she has introduced to strengthen American manufacturing and protect Michigan auto jobs, including the No Chinese Cars Act, legislation to stop foreign automakers from bypassing U.S trade rules by routing production through third countries like Mexico. “Michigan put the world on wheels, and Michigan will build the future of advanced manufacturing,” Stevens continued. “But we need a smart industrial strategy that protects workers, enforces trade laws, creates good-paying jobs, and lowers costs making sure we are making and building right here in America. That’s why the No Chinese Cars Act is critical to stand up for Michigan workers and fight back against efforts to undercut Michigan manufacturing.” Stevens also discussed her broader legislative efforts to support domestic manufacturing and union workers, including the Unearth America’s Future Act, the Union Auto Workers Job Protection Act, the Make Congress Drive Union Made Act, and the Shifting Forward Vehicle Technologies Research and Development Act.

Position: Rep. Stevens introduced the Homeownership Savings Act, which would create tax-free savings accounts allowing first-time homebuyers to save up to $40,000 for down payments and closing costs, with tax-deductible contributions and employer contribution options.

Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced the "Homeownership Savings Act," a bill designed to help Michiganders afford their first home. With housing prices and mortgage costs continuing to rise, Stevens' proposal would create tax-free savings accounts that first-time buyers could use to save for down payments and closing costs. Here's what Michiganders are seeing and reading about Rep. Haley Stevens' efforts to make homeownership more affordable for working families across the state: In Detroit: WMYD Being able to buy a new home is one of the affordability issues that many people are trying to deal with now, and a Michigan lawmaker wants to help out. Congresswoman Haley Stevens is introducing the "Homeownership Savings Act." This bill would create a tax-free savings account for first-time homebuyers to save for down payments and closing costs tax-free.

Rep. Haley Stevens Introduces the “Homeownership Savings Act” to Reduce Costs for First-Time Homebuyers

Position: Rep. Stevens introduced legislation creating tax-advantaged Homeownership Savings Accounts (HOSAs) to help first-time homebuyers accumulate down payments and closing costs, with contributions up to $40,000 and tax-free earnings growth.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced the Homeownership Savings Act to break down financial barriers that have kept a generation locked out of homeownership. With home prices up 60% nationwide between 2019 and 2025, it is increasingly difficult for young families to achieve the dream of homeownership. Stevens’ legislation creates Homeownership Savings Accounts (HOSAs), a new class of tax-advantaged accounts that allow first-time buyers to contribute up to $40,000 for down payments and closing costs. Contributions are tax-deductible up to annual limits, and earnings grow tax-free inside the account, giving young families a critical edge as the average age of a first-time buyer hits a record 40. “For too many Michiganders, the American Dream of owning a home is slipping away,” said Rep. Stevens. “Families are working hard just to keep up with everyday costs while homeownership moves further out of reach. This bill is about making sure the next generation of Michiganders can afford to live in the communities they call home.” The Homeownership Savings Act Would: Create Homeownership Savings Accounts (HOSAs) for first-time homebuyers to save for down payments and closing costs tax-free; Allow eligible buyers to contribute up to $40,000 over the lifetime of the account, with annual tax-deductible contributions of up to $3,000 for married couples filing jointly, $2,500 for heads of household, and $2,000 for single filers; Limit eligibility to first-time homebuyers; Allow employers to voluntarily contribute their own funds to an employee's HOSA; Ensure funds can only be used for qualified homebuying expenses, including down payments and closing costs; Target tax benefits toward working- and middle-class Americans through income phase-outs for higher earners; Allow account holders to invest their savings in stocks, bonds, and other assets, with all earnings growing tax-free inside the account. This legislation has been endorsed by the Michigan Bankers Association, the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan, and the Mortgage Bankers Association.

ICYMI: Rep. Stevens Introduces “Release Your Taxes Act”

Position: Rep. Stevens introduced legislation requiring all members of Congress and congressional candidates to publicly disclose their federal tax returns annually, with non-compliant individuals listed in a public database for up to six years. The release frames this as a transparency measure to combat financial secrecy in Washington.

Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, last week Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced the Release Your Taxes Act. After leading by example and releasing her own 2025 tax returns, Rep. Stevens is now calling on her fellow Members of Congress and congressional candidates to do the same. This legislation is designed to force federal lawmakers to meet the public’s demand for transparency and ensure that those in power are held to the same financial standards as hard-working Michiganders. By mandating total disclosure, Rep. Stevens is working to eliminate financial secrecy in Washington and prove that public service is about serving the people, not getting rich in office. Here’s what Michiganders are seeing about Rep. Haley Stevens pushing to make sure Congress puts constituents first not personal profit: Michigan Advance: Haley Stevens introduces bill calling on all members of Congress to release their tax returns By: Ben Solis Stevens’ “Release Your Taxes Act” would require all congressional lawmakers in both chambers — as well as candidates for Congress — to disclose their tax returns each year. “There are already too many millionaires in Congress,” Stevens said in a statement. “Americans agree, and they deserve to know who they are voting for each election.” Members and candidates who do not comply with disclosure requirements will have their names listed on the public database until they comply, or for six years after the date on which the individual is no longer a member or a candidate. “I’m not a millionaire, and at a time when Michiganders are sick and tired of politicians running for office to get rich, we owe the public the transparency they deserve,” Stevens added. “This bill would make every Member of Congress and candidate to do the same.” Washington Post: Early Brief – What We’re Watching By: Matthew Choi & Dan Merica Rep. Haley Stevens…is introducing a bill today that would require all members of and candidates for Congress to disclose their tax returns in a publicly searchable database. Those who did not would be named and shamed on the database for up to six years. “Trust has really broken down,” Stevens told us. “Trust in our government institutions and government officials — a president who would never release his tax returns.” “I recently took the step and released my tax returns, in part because of the cost-increasing measures that have just whacked Michiganders, and because I’m not a millionaire,” Stevens told us. WLNS: Stevens introduces bill requiring members of Congress to publicly release tax returns By Brad LaPlante U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Birmingham, introduced legislation Thursday that would require all members of Congress and congressional candidates to publicly disclose their federal tax returns each year. Stevens says it’s a challenge to a culture of financial secrecy in Washington. The bill comes days after Stevens voluntarily released her tax return ahead of Tax Day. Her return showed an adjusted gross income of $169,970, a standard deduction of $22,272, and a total tax liability of $28,249. The return showed that she earned no income outside her congressional salary. “I’m not a millionaire, and at a time when Michiganders are sick and tired of politicians running for office to get rich, we owe the public the transparency they deserve,” Stevens said, announcing the legislation. Earlier this year, Stevens also introduced a bill that would prohibit members of Congress from trading individual stocks, though several other efforts to rein in stock trading by Congress are underway. WJR: “It became apparent to me, that as we run for office and serve in federal office, we do financial disclosures. But why not just release tax returns and actually just show your standing?” “I, unlike many people, maybe some in our White House, I haven't been using my position in elected office to get rich. Actually, far from it. And so voters in these times of high distrust. What they feel as though is corruption, and in some cases, it obviously is.” “You know, I've also written legislation to ban stock trading, not only for elected officials, but also their spouses and their children, and extend that over to the president and vice president and candidates for those offices. Why not take the step of seeing tax returns come forward?” ###

Rep. Haley Stevens Introduces “Release Your Taxes Act,” Building on Call for Transparency in Congress

Position: Rep. Stevens introduced legislation requiring Members of Congress and congressional candidates to publicly disclose their federal tax returns annually, with a public database maintained by the House Clerk and Senate Secretary.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced the Release Your Taxes Act, legislation to require Members of Congress and candidates for Congress to publicly disclose their tax returns—bringing greater transparency and accountability to Washington. Rep. Stevens released her own 2025 tax returns ahead of Tax Day and now she is introducing legislation to require all Members of Congress to do the same. “Ahead of Tax Day, I released my 2025 tax returns, and now I’m urging all Members of Congress and candidates for Congress to do the same,” said Rep. Stevens. “I’m not a millionaire, and at a time when Michiganders are sick and tired of politicians running for office to get rich, we owe the public the transparency they deserve.” The Release Your Taxes Act: Requires Members of Congress and candidates for Congress to annually disclose their tax returns to the Clerk of the House of Representatives and Secretary of the Senate within two days of filing with the IRS. Requires new candidates for Congress to disclose their tax returns within thirty days of filing to run for office. Requires Members of Congress and candidates for Congress to disclose their 2025 federal tax returns within 30 days of enactment of this law. Requires the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate to create a public database of Members of Congress and Congressional candidates’ tax returns, and display the names of all Members and candidates not in compliance with this law. Defines tax returns as Form 1040 and Schedule A of a federal tax return, as well as any application for a filing extension or explanation why a return was not filed. The bill applies to tax years 2025 and beyond, setting a clear, forward-looking standard for transparency. This is Rep. Stevens’ latest effort to help increase transparency and accountability in Congress. She introduced the No Getting Rich in Congress Act earlier this year. Text of the bill is available here. ### Issues: Congress
