Don't Lie to MeMichigan's 4th District in Congress, on the record
Committee & Legislative Record

Committee assignments and what they've produced for the district

Huizenga's committee work in the 119th Congress centers on financial policy, not agriculture or manufacturing, which matters because it sets real limits on what "what his committees produced for the district" can honestly mean here. This piece names his actual seats, what they've passed, and doesn't pretend a national financial-services bill is a district-specific one just because he had a hand in it.

Relevant test: District Relevance

Corrected Oct. 23, 2026: this page said the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act both "came out of Financial Services." CLARITY did, jointly with the Agriculture Committee. GENIUS (S. 1582) was written in the Senate, sponsored by Sen. Bill Hagerty, and passed by the House without referral to committee. The page now describes both routes and his office's account of his role.
Updated Sept. 25, 2026: the previous version described his Foreign Affairs Committee output only through his votes and two pending 2026 bills. It left out two of his measures that became law in the FY2026 defense authorization and a Burma sanctions bill that passed the House. These are now covered below.
Corrected Sept. 23, 2026: an earlier version said the Financial Institutions subcommittee "hasn't produced a comparable standalone bill yet." H.R. 6955, the Main Street Capital Access Act, passed the House in July 2026 with two Huizenga-authored measures, and it's now covered below.
Context: committee assignments explain the kind of work a member does, not automatically who it helps. A vice chairmanship on Financial Services is a genuinely significant leadership post, and everything below is real legislative output he helped move. Whether any given piece of it reaches MI-4 specifically, versus the country generally, is a separate question, and I've tried to answer it separately for each item rather than assume the answer.

What Financial Services has actually passed

House Clerk record

The committee's biggest legislative win of the term so far came on a single day. On July 17, 2025, the House passed two digital-asset bills in Financial Services' jurisdiction, and Huizenga's office credits him with helping "shepherd" the legislation through the chamber. They came by different routes. The CLARITY Act was written in the House and reported by Financial Services and the Agriculture Committee. The GENIUS Act was a Senate bill, sponsored by Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and passed by the Senate 68–30; the House passed it unchanged without sending it to committee, so its text wasn't written by Financial Services (Financial Services section-by-section). His office describes his role as chairing the Capital Markets Subcommittee, being "a leader on the digital assets working group," and helping to "shepherd" GENIUS to House passage (his office, July 17, 2025).

BillWhat it doesRelevance to MI-4Public statement
S. 1582 — GENIUS Act (Senate bill) Creates the first federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. Passed the Senate 68–30 on June 17, 2025, then the House 308–122 (Roll 200), Huizenga voting yes; signed into law July 18, 2025 National financial-sector policy. Nothing about it is specific to this district, and I'm not going to invent a local angle for a bill that doesn't have one Called it a bill that "restores American leadership on digital assets" and said he was proud to have "helped shepherd" legislation that "strengthens free markets, enhances entrepreneurship, and boosts consumer choice"
H.R. 3633 — CLARITY Act Sets up a market-structure framework dividing crypto-asset oversight between the SEC and CFTC. Passed the House 294–134 (Roll 199), Huizenga voting yes, with 78 Democrats crossing over. Not law. Senate Banking advanced its version in May 2026, but a Senate cloture vote on proceeding to the bill failed on Sept. 15, 2026, leaving it stalled (Congress.gov actions; CNBC) Same as above — a genuinely bipartisan, genuinely significant bill, and still not a district-specific one Same July 17, 2025 statement as the GENIUS Act, above — his office announced both bills together and didn't separate the rationale for each

Both bills are legitimate, substantial House accomplishments for a committee vice chair, and both cleared the House with real bipartisan margins. Only one became law. This site treats "passed the House" and "enacted" as separate outcomes everywhere they appear, and this table is the canonical status for both bills. Neither one is evidence of anything happening for MI-4 in particular. A reader looking for "what has Huizenga's committee work done for this district" specifically won't find it in digital-asset policy; the more likely place to look is the Financial Institutions subcommittee's work on community banks, covered next.

Community banks: the Main Street Capital Access Act

Passed the House, not enacted

On July 21, 2026, the House passed H.R. 6955, the Main Street Capital Access Act, 270–155 (Roll 271), with Huizenga voting yes. Financial Services Chairman French Hill (R-Ark.) introduced it, and Huizenga is among its original cosponsors. The package loosens and modifies community-bank regulation, covering new-bank formation, supervision, and merger review. It includes two measures Huizenga authored: the FDIC Board Accountability Act, on governance at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Enhancing Bank Resolution Participation Act, which would widen the pool of bidders allowed to take part in failed-bank resolutions. The bill is pending in the Senate and isn't law.

This is the nearest thing in his committee record to a district-relevant financial bill, since community banks and their borrowers are part of the district's economy. But this page hasn't measured how many MI-4 banks the changes would reach or how. His office's statement framed the changes in terms of cost and competition: "Less competition means fewer financing options, higher borrowing costs, and less investment on Main Street."

Foreign Affairs bills that became law

Enacted inside a larger bill

His Strategic Ports Reporting Act (H.R. 1701) passed the House by voice vote in May 2025. Its text became law as section 1704 of the FY2026 defense authorization (P.L. 119-60, Dec. 18, 2025), requiring the State and Defense departments to map and report on Chinese efforts to control strategic ports. The same law's State Department authorization includes a public-diplomacy title covering the offices in his H.R. 5251, in revised form, which his office credits to him. His BRAVE Burma Act (H.R. 3190) passed the House by voice vote in February 2026 and is pending in the Senate. Neither enacted item is specific to MI-4. How this compares with similar members is in Legislative Effectiveness.

Sponsored in 2026: Foreign Affairs and manufacturing

Introduced, pending

Two 2026 bills with Huizenga as lead sponsor sit outside Financial Services. Both went to the Foreign Affairs Committee, his other full-committee seat. They're listed to make the inventory more complete. Listing them isn't a judgment that either one is good or bad, and neither has had a markup or floor vote.

H.R. 9097 — American Manufacturing Revitalization Exchange Program Act of 2026 Creates a State Department exchange program that would pay a stipend to send U.S. manufacturing workers to allied countries for up to 12 months of hands-on advanced-production training toward industry-recognized credentials. Cosponsored by Reps. Johnny Olszewski (D-Md.), Young Kim (R-Calif.), Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.), and Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.)
