re: tonight’s deadline

Republican mega-donors like the DeVos family are preparing to spend millions to cover more ground in Michigan, so defending this seat has never been more important.   John, I wanted to reach out one more time ahead of tonight’s monthly deadline. Let’s think about the margins. …

I showed up with solutions.

They did it with A SINGLE VOTE. That’s why majorities matter. That’s why 2026 matters–and that’s why YOU matter.   John, This past week, I spent two back-to-back nights in all-night hearings as House Republicans pushed through their budget bill. Instead of just voting “no,” I…

These are the hallmarks of the Trump administration – and they’re policies that are directly harming people here in Michigan and all around the country.   Uncertainty. Chaos. Rising prices. Threats to Social Security and Medicare. Attacks on civil liberties. And a $6 trillion tax in the f…
