Trump and Republicans know that America’s presence and influence around the world is critical.
Yet they’re destroying USAID and other foreign programs, ceding our global leadership to China.

“It's Brenda Lawrence. I'm asking you to support Mike McGuinness for Mayor of Pontiac. He's a man with integrity and a smart, hardworking leader. I saw it firsthand when he worked for my congressional office and we delivered results for Pontiac. Please vote Tuesday, August 5th and vote Mike!”

I'm honored to start Pride Month by earning the support from the Equality PAC, the PAC of LGBTQ Reps,for my campaign. When elected, I’ll make history as Michigan’s first openly gay member of Congress — and I’ll carry that responsibility with pride, purpose, and the urgency this moment demands.

UAW retirees know firsthand what it takes to fight for a better future. As governor, I’ll stand with them—and with all working families—to protect Social Security, defend Medicare and Medicaid, and ensure they have a voice not just in their union, but in their government too.

Despite what Donald Trump says, there’s nothing to celebrate over these last 100 days. My team and I have collected stories from folks across Michigan to shine a light on how their lives have been made worse – not better – under Trump’s administration.

The so-called “SAVE Act” would make it harder for millions of women to vote just because their married name doesn’t match their birth certificate!
Why are the House Republicans bringing this to the floor? We’re not going back to 1919!

Don't change your name.
105 years ago, women finally gained the right to vote.
Republicans’ SAVE Act, expected on the floor next week, would make registering to vote nearly impossible for 69 million women who changed their name after marriage.
We won’t let women’s voices be silenced.

Younger victims of retirement fraud should not be slapped with an early withdrawal penalty, in addition to a potential tax bill & losing their life savings.
That’s why I introduced the No Penalties for Victims of Fraud Act, because no crime victim should face fees on top of losing their savings.
