Speaker Matt Hall, a prominent figure in Michigan politics, recently shared his views on several issues through social media. His statements cover topics such as election security, transparency, and infrastructure development.

On June 3, 2025, Speaker Hall criticized Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for her past actions regarding election-security materials. He stated that "As Secretary of State, @JocelynBenson refused to release critical election-security materials and was held in contempt by the Legislature for defying a subpoena… but now promises FOIA compliance only if elected governor— deplorable." This comment reflects ongoing tensions between political figures over transparency and accountability in governance.

Later the same day, Hall emphasized the importance of transparency within Michigan's government. He tweeted at 14:24 UTC that "Transparency isn’t just a buzzword—it’s our promise to Michigan. @MI_Republicans". This statement aligns with the Republican Party's commitment to open government practices and is further supported by an article from Detroit News.

In another tweet posted at 21:15 UTC on June 3, 2025, Hall highlighted his party's efforts in infrastructure planning. He noted that "Under my leadership, @MI_Republicans passed a $3 billion Roads Plan to rebuild Michigan's failing roads— without raising taxes on families or businesses." He contrasted this with Senate Democrats' proposal which he claimed would increase costs and create a budget deficit.
