Our campaign has earned the endorsement of @uaw.org Region 1! UAW members show up every day - on the line, in the shop, at the bargaining table - fighting for their families and their coworkers. That's the same work ethic I'm bringing to Lansing. Thank you, UAW! Let's get to work. 💪🏻

Energy bills up. Utility profits up. Companies treating Michigan like a trash state and leaving taxpayers to clean up the mess. I'm proud to have earned an endorsement from @michiganlcv.bsky.social. I'll fight to hold polluters accountable - full stop.

Proud to earn the endorsement of @mippadvocates.bsky.social. In 2022, voters in HD-55 overwhelmingly passed Prop 3 in municipality in this district. This community has already made clear where it stands on reproductive freedom. I'll protect that decision in Lansing every single day.

@noaharbit.bsky.social takes public service seriously. He's someone who leans in when things get complicated, not someone who disappears. I’m grateful for his support because our campaign is built on that same mindset: work first, ego last, community always. Proud to have him in this fight with us!

A lot of what’s happening right now is heavy. People are getting hurt, basic stability feels shaky, and many of us are exhausted. That exhaustion makes sense. But disengaging only makes it easier for bad decisions to keep happening, especially at the local level.

Grateful to be endorsed by the @machinistsunion.bsky.social District 60! Unions like IAMAW fight every day to raise standards at work. My mom was a member of IAM for 20 years, so I know that union strength changes lives. Always proud to stand with workers. ✊ #UnionStrong #IAMAW

When a results-driven legislator like Rep. Joey Andrews gets behind you, it means you’re serious about the work. Joey’s a champion for workers, clean energy, and accountability in Lansing, and he knows talk doesn’t fix problems. It's an honor to have him on #TeamHawkins as we work to flip HD-55. 🔥

Alex Hawkins @alexhawkinsmi.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Proud to be endorsed by New Politics, which supports service-driven leaders. My focus in HD-55 is practical outcomes: ✅ strong public schools ✅ safer communities built on smart partnerships, ✅ stronger mental healthcare and ✅ an economy where everyone thrives

Today is World Mental Health Day. As an Army EOD officer and a Reserve Sheriff’s Deputy, I’ve seen how stress, trauma, and isolation can stack up. I also lost my dad to mental health struggles, and I carry that with me every day. Asking for help shows strength, not weakness.

Alex Hawkins @alexhawkinsmi.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Honored to be endorsed by State Rep. Denise Mentzer (HD-61). She’s seen my service and leadership up close, and her support means a lot. We’re building the team to win HD-55 and deliver for Michigan families. Join us → AlexHawkins.org/endorsements

Our votes are our values. Our current State Representative voted YES on a budget that cuts funding to the State Police, Health & Human Services, clean water initiatives, and voting. I’m an Army EOD officer and Reserve Sheriff’s Deputy, and I'll fight to fund the things that keeps families safe.

Header: ‘GOP Budget: Public Safety Cuts.’ Two cards: ‘$66M cut to State Police’ and ‘$29M cut to Corrections.’ Red banner ‘ELIMINATED.’ Bullets: 433 State Police positions; Office of Community Violence; De-escalation training for officers.

Header: ‘Beyond Public Safety: Cuts Families Will Feel.’ Cards show ‘$5B cut to Health & Human Services’ with note that it affects Medicaid, behavioral health, and food assistance; and ‘$1B cut to Labor & Economic Opportunity’ with note about fewer worker protections, jobs, and opportunities.

Header: ‘Environment: Clean water and parks at risk.’ Cards show ‘$200M cuts to Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’ with note that it weakens PFAS response and drinking-water protection. Red ‘ELIMINATED’ bar. Bullets: 200 state positions in EGLE; 114 Parks & Recreation positions.

Header: ‘Elections & County Services: Access reduced, services strained.’ Cards show ‘$69M cuts to Secretary of State’ with note about reduced early-voting and absentee support; and ‘$35M cuts to County Revenue Sharing’ with note that courts and jails are strained, complicating public safety.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Labor Day is about celebrating and honoring the people who built the middle class. I grew up in a union family, and I’m proud to stand with Michigan's workers. I'll always have their backs in the fight for fair pay, good jobs, and safe workplaces. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 🛠

I’m grateful for Emily Busch’s endorsement. Her family has faced gun violence not once, but twice. Instead of stepping back, she’s chosen to lean in and keep fighting. That courage inspires me. We need action, not more inaction. Join us: bit.ly/AH-EB

To Trump and Congressional Republicans, tax cuts for billionaires stay, but NPR & PBS funding must go. It's not an exaggeration to say these cuts put the safety of people across our country in jeopardy, especially those in rural areas. We need a tax code that values the public good.

Reminder: The job title is REPRESENTATIVE. But they’re not representing working families. They’re representing lobbyists, billionaires, and their own careers. This bill is cruel and they’re too busy celebrating to notice. We deserve leaders who actually give a damn. www.tiktok.com/@pissed.off....

It’s an honor to have earned the support of Marie Adkins - a nurse, a community leader, and a fierce advocate for working families in Warren. Marie knows what it’s like to run for office not for power or status, but to help people. I’m incredibly grateful to have her in this fight with me.

Unions are the backbone of this country. Grateful to stand with the @aflcio.org and so many fired-up workers in Warren this week. We're building a future where working people - not billionaires - have the power. #unionstrong

A wide shot of the AFL-CIO “It’s Better in a Union” tour bus parked behind a speaker podium. A crowd of union members wearing red, purple, and blue shirts sits in rows of chairs, listening to speakers in front of the colorful bus.

A man sitting in the audience holds a bold black-and-white sign that reads “WORKERS OVER BILLIONAIRES!” while listening to speakers at the AFL-CIO bus tour event in Michigan.

Alex smiles and takes a selfie with a life-size cardboard cutout of Rep. John James in front of the AFL-CIO bus tour vehicle, which reads “Bus Tour! Fighting for Freedom, Fairness & Security.”

The cardboard cutout of Rep. John James has been placed inside a large outdoor trash can next to the AFL-CIO bus, with just his upper half visible.

🧵 Today I’m proud to share our year-to-date fundraising numbers with you. But before I say anything else, I just want to say thank you. This campaign isn’t powered by corporate PACs or political insiders. It’s built by working people who believe, like I do, that our community deserves better. 1/3

They keep calling it the Big Beautiful Bill. Let’s not bullshit. There’s nothing beautiful about adding $2.8 trillion to our debt so billionaires can cash in while millions lose their health care and we kill clean energy jobs.

Happy Father’s Day. Thinking about the men who shaped me today. My dad, who I miss everyday, gave me my roots, the lessons, the grit, the love that started it all. He didn’t have to step in, but he did, and I’ll always be grateful for the example he’s set.

What happened in Minnesota was an assassination. A Democratic state rep and her husband were murdered in their home. A Democratic state senator and his wife were shot. This was not random. It was political violence.
