Friend,
Michigan Republicans are showing us exactly where their loyalties lie, and it’s not with working families.
In a budget vote, Rep. Tom Barrett voted against protecting Social Security field offices. If those offices close, tens of thousands of Michiganders may not get their checks, forcing seniors and families to choose between groceries and rent.
Meanwhile, Rep. Bill Huizenga is celebrating Trump’s reckless economic agenda, praising cuts to Medicaid and supporting his reckless, job-killing tariffs.
This is what we’re up against in 2026, Friend: two loyal Trump Republicans who would rather defend billionaires and political donors than the people they were elected to serve.
Let’s hold them accountable.
This year is all about building the campaign infrastructure to defeat Tom Barrett, Bill Huizenga, and other Trump loyalists in 2026, but we need your help to do it. Will you split a donation three ways between the Michigan Democratic Party and the Democratic Nominee Funds for MI-07 and MI-04?
IIf you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split evenly between the MI-04 2026 Democratic Nominee Fund, MI-07 2026 Democratic Nominee Fund and the Michigan Democratic Party:
When Republicans try to gut Social Security and Medicaid, Michigan Democrats fight back. But we can’t do it alone.
If we want to flip MI-07 and MI-04 in 2026, we need to start investing now in grassroots organizing, volunteer recruitment, and rapid-response communications to expose Republican extremism at every turn.
Let’s show Barrett, Huizenga, and Trump’s entire political machine that Michigan voters are ready to fight back and win.
