While tonight’s result wasn’t the one we wanted, I’m incredibly proud of the relentless, hard fought campaign we ran. I dedicated my life to serving our country and fighting for our values—freedom and democracy—and that’s exactly what this campaign was about. To ensure the promise of our nation. 1/3

I’m the only candidate in this race who has actually stood up to Trump. With all that is at stake, we need proven leaders who will stand up and fight. Honored to join Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett for a joint interview on the Sunday Chronicle Podcast with Yanice Carter!

This election is about the future we want for our country - and the future leaders we will need. Meridian Township Clerk Angela Demas is on the frontlines of our democracy. I’m deeply grateful to have her support in this primary. Please vote TOMORROW!

I’ve been in a lot of tough fights: taking on Putin, battling breast cancer, and standing up to Trump. Voters want someone who will stand up for what’s right and deliver real results. That’s what I have always done and what I will keep doing in Congress.

We’re knocking on doors — rain or shine! Great to be in East Lansing this morning with Senator Sam Singh and Commissioner Mark Polsdofer to get out the vote 3 days before election day! If you haven’t voted already, please vote on or before 8/4.

Beating Barrett means appealing to independent voters across MI07. I’m proud to have the support of State Representative Jennifer Conlin, the only Democratic state legislator in Livingston County, in our fight to win MI07 and unseat Tom Barrett!

I was told I focused too much on corruption. Millions of dollars in dark money are pouring into this race, proving the point. That's why my first policy rollout was to end Citizens United, ban congressional stock trading, and clean up Washington.

Bridget Brink @bridgetbrink.com · 31/07/2026
The fight for MI07 is the fight for our friends and neighbors: lowering costs and fixing our broken health care system. I couldn't be prouder to have my friend Lansing Mayor Andy Schor with me in this fight!

For too many, the American Dream feels out of reach. This is enabled by Trump’s chaotic policies enabled by Tom Barrett. I’m proud to be the only candidate in this race who’s stood up to Trump, and I will fight like hell for all of our American Dreams.

Deeply honored to have LCC Board Chair Angela Mathews in my corner. Together, we are going to stand up against Trump's chaos enabled by Tom Barrett and deliver for the people of Michigan's 7th Congressional District!

Eaton County Commissioner Jacob Toomey is a lifelong Eaton resident who has devoted his life to serving the hardworking families of our community. So honored to have Commissioner Toomey’s support in our fight to hold Trump accountable, take on Washington, and deliver for MI07!

Trump & Barrett are kicking millions off Medicaid & ended Affordable Care tax credits, causing premiums to skyrocket. Now, they're cutting a Medicare subsidy, increasing health care costs for over 10 million seniors. This is unacceptable & in Congress I'll fight back. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Program that held down premiums won’t be renewed for 2027, resulting in higher costs for some seniors.

This fight is about who will stand up to Donald Trump and take on a broken Washington that is leaving mid-Michigan families behind. I'm the only candidate in this race who has stood up to Trump, and I'm ready to take that fight to Congress.

I'm not new to tough fights: I’ve taken on Putin in a war zone, fought breast cancer, and stood up to Trump. So the smear campaigns from Donald Trump, Tom Barrett, or Matt Maasdam and his dark money, corporate-backed super PAC will never make me back down. The stakes are just too high. 3/3

Bridget Brink @bridgetbrink.com · 27/07/2026
— because they know he'll do their bidding in Congress. Smear campaigns and saying one thing but doing another is exactly what people are fed up with in our politics. The only way to change Washington is to change the people we send there. 2/3

Bridget Brink @bridgetbrink.com · 27/07/2026
Michigan Democrats asked all candidates to condemn Republican meddling in MI07 — if that's what's happening, it's wrong. But for those just tuning into this race, Matt Maasdam's dark money, big tech backed super PACs have spent $5M to buy him the election and smear my record of service 1/3

Tom Barrett is w/ Trump here in MI07 bragging about the trillions in tax cuts he gave the ultra-rich & big corporations. Trump & Barrett's Big Ugly Bill made the rich richer & stuck working families with the bill. Together we're going to flip MI07!

As a proud graduate of Michigan public schools, I'm so honored to have the support of Councilwoman Clara Martinez and the Michigan Education Association. I will be a champion for public schools to ensure that every kid in our community has the chance to follow their dreams.

The chaos and corruption from Trump and his cronies is why I resigned in protest, spoke out against Trump, and am fighting to restore faith in government & get dark money out of politics. There's too much at stake - it's time to fight back.

Republicans are pumping money into MI07 to meddle in our Democratic primary — just like they've tried to do across the country. Why? Because I've proven I'll hold Trump accountable, no matter the cost. I've done it before and it's what I'll do in Congress.

People are living on the edge. This is because of Donald Trump's policies, enabled by Tom Barrett. Our community deserves a champion in Congress who will fight like hell to make sure the American Dream is possible for all of us.

Rep. @jasmineforus.bsky.social is a powerful force in Congress fighting back against the recklessness & injustice of Trump’s agenda, and she never backs down. I'm proud to stand with her in this fight to stop Trump's chaos & corruption, and I'm honored to have her endorsement to flip MI07!

With Trump's direct assault on voting here in Michigan, our local clerks are on the frontlines of protecting our democracy & the fundamental right to vote. I am honored to have the support of Williamstown Township Clerk Robin Cleveland in this fight to flip MI07!

My Dem opponents say they want dark money out of politics, but over $4M has poured into MI07 from out-of-state super PACs for their campaigns, with over $1M in attack ads lying about my public service. This is exactly what's wrong w/ politics: people say one thing & do another.

2️⃣ weeks to go and we’re out hitting the doors! Wonderful afternoon on the Westside with former Rep Joan Bauer talking to neighbors about flipping this seat and delivering for our community!

So proud of the broad coalition of 35 current & fmr Michigan elected Democrats who endorsed our campaign: fmr Governors Blanchard & Granholm, fmr Speaker Joe Tate, Sen Sam Singh, Rep Jennifer Conlin, Lansing Mayor Andy Schor & dozens more across our district. Let's flip MI07!

Trump is creating chaos at home and abroad. And mid-Michiganders are paying the price: at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and the pharmacy. I'm running for Congress to put a stop to Trump's chaos and corruption so we can deliver for mid-Michigan families.

Amazing time at the Ingham Dems & Blue Brigade picnic! Ingham Co. is ready to flip this seat and beat Tom Barrett!

We need to act with urgency, there's too much at stake. In Congress, I will stand up to Trump, protect our democracy, and fight back against attempts to take away the most fundamental right of all Americans. 4/4

Trump’s SAVE Act and his dismantling and defunding of agencies that oversee our elections pose a huge danger to the most important right of a democracy: the vote. 3/4

There is no evidence that any outside influence or internal group has been able to alter our election results - that’s largely because our elections are conducted by local officials across the country. 2/4

Bridget Brink @bridgetbrink.com · 17/07/2026
Trump's speech last night attempting to justify interference in our elections and undermine confidence in the result was yet another sign of his assault on our democracy. 🧵1/4
