I’m honored to be endorsed by UFCW Local 876 and Local 951. This campaign is about fighting for a better future for Michiganders. I am proud of the coalition we are building through people-first politics and I look forward to standing with organized labor in Congress.

Congratulations to all those who organized and won this victory. These attempts to surveil and monitor us are profoundly un-American. Don't tread on us, and don't spy on us either.

We’re all busy, working hard to pay for the basics. Thanks to Tom Barrett, gas, groceries, and healthcare are all too expensive. Here’s what I will do to lower your prices in the time it takes me to put gas in my car.

It’s happening again: Elon Musk is spending thousands to elect his data center champion Tom Barrett.

I am proud to be endorsed by the Detroit Free Press. We are building a movement here in Mid-Michigan to fight for the basics we deserve — good healthcare, good housing, and a future we can all afford.

Great afternoon at the South Lyon Pumpkinfest speaking with people from around the district. Working families are facing challenges here in Mid-Michigan, but our people-powered campaign is building a movement to fight for this community and deliver for Michigan.

Tom Barrett’s midterm strategy: Smiling and nodding next to Trump and his lackeys. Today, it was EPA admin Lee Zeldin, adding him to the tally of: RFK Jr., Mike Johnson, Sean Duffy, Doug Burgum, & more Soon he’ll run out of officials to hide behind. He might actually have to face his constituents.

Yesterday, veterans in my district gathered to protest Trump’s war in Iran. This illegal war, voted for by Tom Barrett, is raising gas and grocery prices, while our VA funding is being cut. We need to put a stop to this stupid war and bring that money home to Michigan.

Last night, we learned Elon Musk is pouring money into Michigan to defeat our movement. Musk, Trump, and their MAGA allies are spending millions against me. It means our people powered campaign standing up to corporate power is scaring them. And we're not going to back down.

It was an honor to speak at Reproductive Freedom for All’s event in Lansing last night, standing alongside so many Michiganders fighting to protect access to healthcare and to keep healthcare decisions between you and your doctor.

America makes a promise to its veterans. Trump’s cuts to the VA and restricted access to benefits are breaking that promise. Last week, I spoke with veterans about what they need from their next representative. In Congress, I will work to honor the promise made to our veterans.

The first taste of cider every fall is something special – but Trump’s erratic tariffs are squeezing the Mid-Michigan small businesses who make it happen.

Tom Barrett has never held a town hall in MI-07, let alone in his home town, Charlotte. Yesterday, I heard from residents there about issues that matter to them. In Congress, I will hold town halls at least quarterly. But I’ll be in the community much more, working with you for a better future.

AI companies’ best case scenario is putting us all out of work. Union workers deserve high paying jobs they can count on, not six month contracts building data centers for corporations’ unemployment machines.

Say one thing, do the other: that's the DC playbook and that's Tom Barrett. We need a representative who will work with our communities to protect pure Michigan from data centers and Big Tech bullies. That's why I'm running.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Stand up for Science. An educated population is an empowered public. We must protect our scientific education, stand up to restrictions on scientific inquiry and academic freedom, and combat misinformation and anti-science attacks.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Social Security Works. Our seniors paid into social security their whole lives with the promise they would be able to collect in their retirement. Now, billionaires are trying to break that promise.

I am honored to be endorsed by IBEW Local 665, the Northern Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters, and the American Federation of Government Employees. I’ll always stand with workers to take on corporate power. That’s why I’m committed to passing the PRO act and standing with labor in Congress.

We are forging a new path on AI and people are taking notice. Yesterday, we released our new Stop Tech Overreach Plan. We are going to put a STOP to advanced AI development and data center construction. And put protections in place to keep humanity at the center of this story.

William Lawrence @wewill2026.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
My Stop Tech Overreach Plan holds AI companies accountable to the people. The STOP plan calls for a pause to data center and AI development. Then we must pass a national AI compact with protections for jobs, education, the environment, and absolutely NO taxpayer funded bailouts for AI executives.

We wrote this plan for the students, teachers, farmers, workers, and everyday Americans who are being left behind in this AI arms race.  We need to put a STOP to AI and data center development and keep the American people at the center of this story.

Only one more member of Congress is needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files. Tom Barrett could be the one. Where is he?

I was one of the first Congressional candidates to call for a federal data center moratorium. I’ve been standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Mid-Michiganders and speaking out at town halls against data centers, while our representative Tom Barrett pockets checks from Big Tech and slashes their taxes.

Tom Barrett's billionaire donors are funding lies against me on your TV. They have the money, but we have the people. Here’s what we need from you: Doors, Dials, and Dollars.

Donald Trump and Tom Barrett aren’t pro-family. They’re pro-profit, at our families’ expense.

We need unbought representation in Congress. Tom Barrett takes money from DTE and Consumers, data center developers & weapons manufacturers. He represents billionaire donors, not Michiganders. I don’t take corporate PAC money. Unlike Tom Barrett, I’ll go to Congress owing nothing to corporations.

William Lawrence @wewill2026.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Yesterday I spoke to a packed room of Michigan State students who are fed up and ready for change.  We want to build a better future together. Vote for Will Lawrence to say YES to good housing and healthcare and NO to endless wars and runaway AI development. It’s time for new representation in DC.

Last night, 100+ of you showed Donald Trump why we will defeat his hand-picked candidate, Tom Barrett. Trump & Barrett are betting on billionaires, data centers, and war. We're betting on you. We will win good housing. We will win healthcare for all. We will win a better future for our families.

‼️First TV Ad of the General Election Tom Barrett spent billions on the war in Iran instead of using it to help people at home. He’s given tax breaks to data center developers and raised our utility bills. We need a Representative who will stand up to corporate power and deliver for Mid-Michigan.

Inflation's up everywhere except in Trump's head, where I live rent-free. Trump is trying to smear me from the convention stage because he knows his and Barrett's records are indefensible. Here's my response:

OpenAI and Anthropic are 'gambling with our lives.’ We need to keep humanity at the center of this story, and we cannot trust companies who are locked in an AI arms race to have our best interest in mind. We need a pause on the development of advanced AI models and a moratorium on data centers.

Tom Barrett is lying to Mid-Michigan about data centers.  He’s a data center sellout who is out of touch with what Michiganders want. I’ve stood against data centers since October. Tom Barrett is a yes-man for the big-tech billionaires trying to bully our towns.

We’re doing politics differently—and that doesn’t change after election day. My priority is putting the people of Mid Michigan first, and @nytimes.com captured me in the district doing that. Our campaign is about making life better for Michiganders, not enriching politicians and billionaires.

Happy Labor Day Michigan!  Beautiful day marching in Detroit with Michigan's labor movement.  When our unions win, our communities win. I’m committed to passing the PRO Act and standing with organized labor in Congress. It’s an honor to be endorsed by the Michigan AFL-CIO, UAW, MEA, & many more.

Voters in rural Mason, MI are sick of politicians like Tom Barrett who are in the pocket of Big Tech.  I’m running to put Michiganders first. I refuse corporate PAC money and stand with residents fighting data centers. Barrett has been propped up by almost $1 million from data center developers.
