Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D., Mich.) office in Washington, D.C. seems to be closed, despite session resuming last week. At around 10:30 a.m. on Monday, September 9, her office was “closed” and “locked” with the “lights off,” a labor union watchdog told the Washington Reporter.

Stabenow, who is retiring at the end of this Congress, is the top Democrat on the Senate Agriculture Committee, which is currently working to finalize a Farm Bill. 

Former Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Mich.), who is in a race to replace Stabenow against Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D., Mich.), told the Reporter that while he wants “to eliminate tax on overtime pay, it appears [that] D.C. Democrats like Stabenow and Slotkin want to pay people to not work at all, with our money.” Rogers added that “representing Michiganders is the furthest thing from a part time job, I guarantee that my office won’t be closed for business and I’ll never forget who I work for: the people of Michigan.”

As part of its campaign to sound the alarm on the Biden administration “siding with a major labor union over seniors and others in search of help obtaining medical coverage,” the Public Labor Unions Accountability Committee (PLUAC) hung fliers on every House and Senate office last week in order to “to urge the Department of Health and Human Services against reneging with the company running call centers for Medicare and the Affordable Care Act.”

PLUAC found during its campaign other Democrat-run offices that were not fully open to the public. Sen. Ed Markey’s (D., Mass) office, for example, had a sign telling visitors “our office is open to scheduled meetings and appointments.”

PLUAC spokesman Doug Mayer told the Reporter that “the forced unionization of Medicare call centers put Michiganders healthcare benefits in jeopardy and Debbie Stabenow couldn’t care less. She sold out the people of her state for CWA campaign cash. Hope it’s worth it.”
