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.

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.

Team Maasdam was out in full force at today’s #NoKings rally! Thanks to our volunteers and to the hundreds of people who stopped by to sign our nominating petitions - it was such an energy boost to be with other patriotic Michiganders who love our country and stand up for our freedom 💙🇺🇸

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!

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.

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.

Tonight was our first official “friend-raiser” of the campaign - a chance for supporters to help us grow our network by inviting their own friends, neighbors, and community to come hear about the race.

Really, Tom Barrett? Michiganders aren’t "excited about" the double-digit rate increases in healthcare for everyone next year, or the massive cuts to Medicaid that kick millions of people off their insurance.

It’s always a fun time with the Livingston County Dems. Great potluck today, and now, time to settle in for the MSU game - Go Green!

Never forget.
9/11 was a day that changed America, and it changed my life too. I was a Navy SEAL, and my wife Laura was a Navy pilot. As we watched the second plane hit the towers, we rushed to our bases knowing our service was about defending our way of life and defending our country in wartime.

On an unacceptably heavy day in politics, it’s especially good to get together with folks.
We were in Corunna for the Shiawassee Dems picnic, and a great chance to catch up with friends, including Shiawassee County’s excellent state rep, Penelope Tsernoglou.

You can feel it in your gut: everything costs more right now, and it’s not getting any better. So while Tom Barrett may be falling in line with the GOP’s pathetic attempt to “rebrand” their deeply unpopular big bill, Michiganders won’t be fooled.

I had an awesome time yesterday touring the UA Local 333 training center. They train people for in-demand jobs that provide not just a good wage, but health care for the whole family, plus retirement security.
