I come from a world of war planning. I come from a world where you can't just play defense and expect to succeed.

What senior Democrats owe the country is a strategy that does more than just wait for bad things to happen. And this is just the start.

To me, that means getting back to the fundamentals. A strong middle class is the anchor of American life. We need to grow and expand it. And we need to focus on the three big things that most Americans can agree on, which is strong economic security, strong national security, and a strong democracy.

As a Midwesterner Democrat who won on the same ballot as Trump in 2020 and in 2024, I'm going to be banging pots and pans about the economic message over and over and over again, because I think, as a party, we've drifted away from a central focus on the economy and on families – and that needs to be to our center of gravity.

A lead foot in whatever we do has to be pushing back on the complete fallacy that Trump is gonna save you money. He's going to cost you money in every part of your life.

And he may walk us into a self-inflicted recession. In Michigan, we know what it's like to live through a recession – in 2008, the recession was pretty damn close to a depression. And I'm not gonna stand silent while the President threatens that again in my state.

If you agree with me and want to move forward together, please consider supporting my work with a contribution.
