I even worked a full 10 hr shift before voting for myself yesterday 💪😎🇺🇸 After a long year of touring the district, meeting my neighbors from Highland to Bad Axe to Port Huron, I want to thank everyone for their support yesterday. I may be the face and messenger, but this campaign was never about me

For those who did not get to attend the Oxford meeting last night in regards to the data center ordinance, no worries you did not miss much. So many of us showed up that there wasn't enough room for everyone, so they immediately voted to rescheduled to another day for everyone to be heard properly.

🇺🇸🎆It was great to be out with so many patriots here in Michigan's 9th! Whether you're at home getting the BBQ ready, out at a parade, enjoying the day on the lake, or just relaxing the day away, today is a day for you and the freedoms we have now.

🇺🇸 CAMPAIGN KICKOFF – FLAG DAY, JUNE 14TH Two Sundays from now, on Flag Day, it will have been one full year since this average blue-collar, overtime working, homesteading patriotic American took his first step toward running for Congress. I had plenty of reasons to run, but the real question was:

🚫👨‍💻📂 Lenox Township doesn't want any data centers either. I heard many great questions and suggestions from the community last night. It's pretty clear we don't want our farms and fields replaced with concrete lots and warehouses of servers.

We'd rather out taxes go to things that actually benefit us like better healthcare, schools, actually lowering the debt like this administration said they would,-

A Facebook Post from Lisa McClain on 04-26-26. It reads as follows:

It’s time for Democrats to give up their games and agree to fully fund our homeland security.

The brave Secret Service officers who just put their lives in harm’s way deserve to know they will be paid for their service and sacrifice. Protecting the President and defending our country should never come with uncertainty about whether your paycheck will arrive.

Yet Democrats are willing to leave our homeland security unpaid while prioritizing protections for violent illegal immigrants.

That’s unacceptable.

Fund our homeland security. Pay the men and women who protect this country.

Lisa: Republicans want to lower your taxes while Democrats want to raise them. Also Lisa: We'd like to tax you to vote. #Michigan #Democrat

A screenshot from Lisa McClains Facebook page that has an image that says "83% of Americans support voter ID, Pew research poll, August 2025". Her status reads as follows:

Democrats, take note: 83% of Americans support Voter ID.

That’s not “extreme.” That’s a landslide.

If you’re fighting voter ID, you’re fighting the will of the American people.

Secure elections aren’t controversial — they’re common sense.

We've lost 13 Americans in less than two weeks of this war. These are sons, daughters, and parents. The American people deserve to know why our country rushed into another war without a strategy or a goal.

When our leaders take an oath, it is to defend the United States #Constitution —not a foreign government. Senator Schumer’s declaration to fight for "all the aid that Israel needs" reveals a profound misplacement of loyalty. His role is not to be a fighter for another nation,

In recent weeks we have witnessed federal agents escalate their aggression against American citizens, culminating in the public and unjust execution of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The evidence is overwhelming,yet this administration still lies and jumps to defend their actions

111

Ray Pooley for Congress @pooley4congress.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Alex Pretti was lawfully using his #2A right, did not draw or brandish it, and had it removed before ICE executed him in public. My opponent Lisa McClain has chosen to remain silent, but was last seen supporting the agency that caused the needless loss of that #American VA nurse.

I'm the only one in this race that says abolish ICE. We already have DHS and police who can handle criminals; we could use ICE funds for other things like a better pathway towards citizenship, infrastructure, education, or just give us back our tax dollars.

It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.
