Money can’t buy happiness… but it sure can buy you influence in Lansing. Turn in your ballot ASAP and vote YES on Proposal 2 by November 3. For all your election information, go to mi.gov/vote. #YesOn2 #Prop2 #MoneyOutofPolitics #MMOP #MopUpMichigan

I'm profoundly against this depraved record and want to do the exact opposite: pass Medicare for All.

I had a blast today in Jenison with @hillaryscholten.bsky.social for another great canvass launch! Community organizing and connecting with voters has been at the heart of this campaign, and I love hearing what matters most to people across Southwest Michigan.

This is excellent modern journalism. A century ago, a newspaper would publish a muckraking article. Then a pol could get quotes into the paper in response. That was slow turnaround. Now subjects of articles go on TV and social media to counterspin. And @propublica.org is rapidly responding. Great!

Bill Huizenga has voted 6 times to continue the reckless war in Iran that is skyrocketing our gas and diesel prices. It’s time for change in Southwest Michigan.

Bill Huizenga just voted a 6th time for Trump’s reckless war in Iran that has skyrocketed gas prices. Meanwhile, Michigan just saw the nation’s highest weekly gas price increases. It’s time for MI-04 to have a representative willing to fight for us, not make life more expensive.

There are ~250 Muslims serving in various gov't positions in the US today, incl. 4 in Congress, others in Fed. executive positions, plus city & state positions. Have there ever been reports of their attempting to "impost Sharia Law"? The US has respected freedom of religion, since 1776. #ProudBlue

Trump's tariffs have cost Michigan $5,619 per household — higher than every other state — just so Trump can play his little vanity games. Rogers will never call this out because he's corrupt and a coward.

I went to medical school to learn how to heal, only to realize that in our current health care system, too often the hospital is part of the problem. So I dedicated my career to public health. I got to rebuild the health department in the beautiful city of Detroit.

In 2024, to attract data centers to Michigan, both Senators McCann and McMorrow voted to give data centers a tax break, good until 2050. Both are now viewing for higher office. Meanwhile cities are left little options for people that don’t want them in their neighborhood.

In 2024 Senator McMorrow (along with @mccannforcongress.bsky.social who thinks he should now be US Representative) was one of several that voted to give tax breaks until 2050 to data centers to attract them to Michigan. Now regulations?. An article from the time: planetdetroit.org/2024/12/mich...

Two sides. Same coin. Different plumbing. Huizenga takes corporate PAC money directly. McCann takes $199K in PAC checks wrapped in party-leadership money. And the same utility-linked PACs — Great Lakes, Motor City — write to both. Diop Harris takes $0.

Good public transit would be so great..less dependence on gas, less traffic. Make it feasible so people don’t need a car - they’re expensive not even considering gas. Unfortunately, transit is slow to get implemented and gas prices will drop and the public will go back to their gas spending habits.

But Michigan Republicans continue to villainize Trans people to divide working-class neighbors from each other. Then they cut vital services in order to line the pockets of wealthy corporations. We've invited primary candidates to ensure that decision makers are prioritizing the safety and needs of our Trans community members, their loved ones, and all working families across Southwest Michigan
