In an interview with News this week via Zoom, Republican candidate for the House who would represent Michigan’s Tom Barrett stated, “This is a huge issue of concern both from national security and economic security standpoint.” “Here in Michigan, the Democrats are providing over $200 million in state tax dollars to a corporation associated with the Communist Party and supported by China that plans to establish a battery facility here. In order to construct a battery facility in Michigan that is supported by the Chinese Communist Party, they have already bought a large amount of rural farmland.
Before entering the race to represent the 7th District in the U.S. House, Barrett, an Army veteran, held positions in the state legislature and state Senate of Michigan. Barrett, who earlier this year received Trump’s “complete and total endorsement” for the House seat, discussed with News the main issues he has been emphasizing from the campaign trail, such as China’s expanding influence in the state, fentanyl overdose deaths, border policies, and spiraling inflation.
