Great afternoon at the South Lyon Pumpkinfest speaking with people from around the district. Working families are facing challenges here in Mid-Michigan, but our people-powered campaign is building a movement to fight for this community and deliver for Michigan.

Today on Gold Star Mothers and Families Day, we honor the parents, families, and loved ones of U.S. service members who died while serving in the military.  We owe a debt of gratitude to these service members and their families. Your service will never be forgotten.

Tom Barrett’s midterm strategy: Smiling and nodding next to Trump and his lackeys. Today, it was EPA admin Lee Zeldin, adding him to the tally of: RFK Jr., Mike Johnson, Sean Duffy, Doug Burgum, & more Soon he’ll run out of officials to hide behind. He might actually have to face his constituents.

Yesterday, veterans in my district gathered to protest Trump’s war in Iran. This illegal war, voted for by Tom Barrett, is raising gas and grocery prices, while our VA funding is being cut. We need to put a stop to this stupid war and bring that money home to Michigan.

Last night, we learned Elon Musk is pouring money into Michigan to defeat our movement. Musk, Trump, and their MAGA allies are spending millions against me. It means our people powered campaign standing up to corporate power is scaring them. And we're not going to back down.

It was an honor to speak at Reproductive Freedom for All’s event in Lansing last night, standing alongside so many Michiganders fighting to protect access to healthcare and to keep healthcare decisions between you and your doctor.

America makes a promise to its veterans. Trump’s cuts to the VA and restricted access to benefits are breaking that promise. Last week, I spoke with veterans about what they need from their next representative. In Congress, I will work to honor the promise made to our veterans.

Trump’s war in Iran cost Americans over $43 billion. That money could be invested in our communities: affordable healthcare, affordable housing, and good schools. Tom Barrett was the decisive House vote to fund this stupid war. In Congress, I will vote to bring money home to help Michiganders.

Mid-Michigan is standing up and speaking out against AI data centers. Read the thread to hear directly from residents about what a proposed data center could mean for Mason, and why I'm standing alongside my neighbors.

Tom Barrett has never held a town hall in MI-07, let alone in his home town, Charlotte. Yesterday, I heard from residents there about issues that matter to them. In Congress, I will hold town halls at least quarterly. But I’ll be in the community much more, working with you for a better future.

AI companies’ best case scenario is putting us all out of work. Union workers deserve high paying jobs they can count on, not six month contracts building data centers for corporations’ unemployment machines.

Say one thing, do the other: that's the DC playbook and that's Tom Barrett. We need a representative who will work with our communities to protect pure Michigan from data centers and Big Tech bullies. That's why I'm running.

We are forging a new path on AI and people are taking notice. Yesterday, we released our new Stop Tech Overreach Plan. We are going to put a STOP to advanced AI development and data center construction. And put protections in place to keep humanity at the center of this story.

Bild

My Stop Tech Overreach Plan holds AI companies accountable to the people. The STOP plan calls for a pause to data center and AI development. Then we must pass a national AI compact with protections for jobs, education, the environment, and absolutely NO taxpayer funded bailouts for AI executives.

We wrote this plan for the students, teachers, farmers, workers, and everyday Americans who are being left behind in this AI arms race.  We need to put a STOP to AI and data center development and keep the American people at the center of this story.

Tom Barrett voted for tax breaks for data center developers, helping the rich get richer at the expense of Michiganders. I’m proud to support this legislation to ensure data center developers pay their fair share. Mid-Michigan needs someone who fights for them. That's why I'm running for Congress.

I was one of the first Congressional candidates to call for a federal data center moratorium. I’ve been standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Mid-Michiganders and speaking out at town halls against data centers, while our representative Tom Barrett pockets checks from Big Tech and slashes their taxes.

I’m proud to be endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign. This country was founded on the principle of freedom and equality. As extremists take aim at our civil liberties, we need leaders to fight back. I will stand with the Human Rights Campaign to fight for a better future together in Congress.

Michiganders deserve a pro-equality champion that will expand health care access, lower health care and housing costs, expand affordable housing, and protect our communities. That’s why we’re proud to endorse @wewill2026.bsky.social for Michigan’s 7th District.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Grateful to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with so many neighbors, leaders, and friends today at Lansing City Hall.  Our Hispanic communities’ culture and contributions make our district stronger.

AI companies are exploiting enormous tax breaks thanks to Tom Barrett and his support for Trump's big tech agenda. Despite building huge data centers that benefit from our tax dollars, AI companies and data center developers aren’t paying their fair share.

We need unbought representation in Congress. Tom Barrett takes money from DTE and Consumers, data center developers & weapons manufacturers. He represents billionaire donors, not Michiganders. I don’t take corporate PAC money. Unlike Tom Barrett, I’ll go to Congress owing nothing to corporations.
