I’ve dedicated my life to protecting democracy & fighting for freedom. It’s why we stood up to Putin and why I spoke out against Trump.
My next mission: fighting for what’s right here at home. I’m running for #MI07 because it's time to put Michigan families first and fight back.

Shopping for Christmas dinner at our Meijer & could not believe the price of beef. MSU Prof Jason Miller says Christmas dinner is “3% to 5% more” & beef is up 15%!
This is Trump & Barrett’s “A+++++” economy. We deserve better.

The Trump family has amassed a $4 billion fortune since his re-election.
During my time as Ambassador, I was accused of "focusing too intensely on the issue of corruption." There's no such thing.
We need leaders who serve the people — not themselves.

22 million Americans — tens of thousands in MI07 — rely on the ACA to afford health insurance. ACA tax credits expire in 2 weeks. Prices are skyrocketing & many can’t afford it. Tom Barrett is refusing to join bipartisan efforts to extend them. Our district deserves better.
