Flags fly at half-staff across Michigan and the U.S. to honor two national figures: firefighter Emily Barker, 38, who died battling wildfires in Colorado and Utah, and Senator Lindsey Graham, 71, of South Carolina, who passed away after a 23-year Senate career. Whitmer praised Barker’s bravery and sacrifice, while also extending condolences to Graham’s family. Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, will be sworn in today as South Carolina’s first female U.S. senator, marking a historic moment for the state.
