🚨Our first TV ad: "Doing the Work"!
People are tired of loud talk and little action. This race is about leadership and how to actually deliver results. Here in Michigan, I worked across the aisle to lower costs and cut taxes. I'm running for Congress to build on that progress.

Michigan House Dems just won a house seat in the west side of the state that Dems lost by 26 points last election. Congrats Representative Carol Glanville. We will continue to fight to take back Michigan for the people! On to the majority in the Michigan House and Senate!

Barrett may want to hide his radical prolife position on his website. But he can't hide the fact he wears this position right on his lapel. That pin represents the size of a fetuses feet at 10 weeks. Tom has bragged about being 100 percent pro life with no exemptions.

A sure sign you have been a politician long enough if you can pretend this is real when your own fiscal agency says it creates at least a 700 million dollar deficit.
A sure sign someone has been in government too long is if they’re trying to convince you the bureaucracy can’t afford a $2.5 billion tax cut when it has an $8 billion surplus.

Governor Whitmer’s strong actions is the most responsible thing we can do at this time. We need to stop this spread now. 12 positive tests now means there are likely many more. Social distancing is the only way to stop this with the limited amount of tests in this country.

Here in Mid-Michigan, voters don't have to look far to see the corrosive impact of special interests in our politics. Tom Barrett voted to keep Michigan as the only state in the country that shielded drug companies from liability when they sold dangerous, defective drugs.
Why?
🚨 Endorsement Alert 🚨Today, we’re endorsing
@CurtisHertelJr
in his fight for

families. Corporate greed has eroded Michiganders’ trust in Washington. Curtis's pro-democracy, anti-corruption leadership will help rebuild confidence in our government.
