We all want this shutdown to end, but this deal doesn’t work for the people of Michigan because it gives up the fight on health care in exchange for nothing more than a weak promise.

While the government is shut down and Michigan families need leadership, Tom Barrett skipped work to attend an anti-abortion rally.
I’ve fought to defend our freedoms, not limit them.

Today, I want to talk about the SNAP crisis facing so many of our neighbors.
I’m running to beat Tom Barrett next November because Michiganders deserve better, but we can’t wait a full year to take care of our community.

As a Navy SEAL, I was taught that a leader eats last, after all the troops are fed. But Tom Barrett is making sure the billionaires eat first, while Michigan families go hungry, so he can use it as leverage to take away people’s health insurance.

Supporting small businesses is one of the fun parts of life on the campaign trail - great lunch at Evelyn Bay Coffee Shop in Charlotte this week before a meeting with local leaders! If you’re in town, stop by to grab a bite and support the folks who keep our main streets thriving.

When I raised my right hand and swore my oath in the Navy, it wasn’t to a man or a party - it was to the Constitution. That oath still guides me every day.
Today, patriotic Americans are gathering for #NoKings rallies, standing up for freedom. I’ll be standing with them. 🇺🇸

Let’s get this straight: after all that America First talk, we’re bailing out Argentina - a rival soybean producer - while Michigan farmers suffer the loss of their biggest export market? Let’s take care of American farmers first 🇺🇸

Tom Barrett literally voted to cut Medicaid. Everyone feels what's happening: health care, groceries, and electric bills all cost more. Putting up billboards won't change that!

I had a blast being mic’d up at the MSU Homecoming Parade, with students, neighbors, dogs, and kids everywhere. (And no surprise to any parents: lots of “6-7!” along the route.)
Great to see so many friendly faces, and a big thanks to the MSU ROTC for showing up strong!

As I told Steve Scully on Sirius XM this week, the fight right now is all about health care.
Tom Barrett's votes are driving costs up, and I’m fighting to bring them down for Michigan families.

Donald Trump doesn’t get to ignore laws just because he feels like it. CONGRESS decides how taxpayer money is spent, and this funding was already approved by law.

Spent the weekend out in Lansing with Jeremy Garza and some awesome Andy Schor volunteers - no better way to hear what’s on neighbors' minds than at their doors!

It makes me sick to hear about the shooting today in Grand Blanc. Places of worship should always be safe. I’m thinking about the victims, and all of the family and community members. My heart goes out to them.

Another friend-raiser in the books this weekend! Thank you, Susan and Lee, for opening up your home to a great group of friends and neighbors. We’ll flip MI-07 by winning over voters who are common sense, love America, and want reasonably priced healthcare, housing, and groceries. Let’s go!

Deploying around the world showed me that America is the greatest country on Earth. What makes us great is that we hold our freedoms dear - and that includes the freedom of speech.
I’ve spent my career defending our freedoms, and I’ll keep fighting to protect them in Congress.

I WANT MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
Americans should be able to trust that their leaders are serving the people - not corporations, not political parties, and not themselves.
It’s a no-brainer for me to take the End Citizens United Unrig Washington pledge.

Thank you to the Eaton County Dems for welcoming me at your monthly meeting this week! So much passion in the room - the Eaton County Dems are high on the list of people most excited to flip MI-07 and make Tom Barrett a one-term Congressman. He’s making life harder and more expensive in Michigan.

JD Vance should be coming to Michigan to apologize for the 42,000 manufacturing jobs he, Donald Trump, and Tom Barrett have destroyed with their chaotic tariffs, and for kicking Michiganders off their health care to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.
