Fox News
Reps. Haley Stevens, D-Mich.; Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.; and Dan Kildee, D-Mich., each signed a document granting their vote by proxy to one of their Democratic colleagues in the House for the vote series on May 18, 2021.
Each of the documents cite the "ongoing public health emergency" due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason they gave their votes to their colleagues for proxy. However, the reason Kildee, Stevens and Slotkin missed votes was that they were touring the Ford Motors facility in Dearborn, Michigan with Biden. All three were among the Democrats attending the event, the Detroit News reported on Tuesday.More Related News
