A few favorites from the UP: Marquette, Alger, Luce, and Chippewa. We have 14 days; let's do this, Michigan!

Michigan is proud to be home to innovative, life-saving medical research. No matter what happens at the federal level, a Benson-Brinks administration will remain committed to advancing critical medical research. Grateful for the opportunity to tour @NorthernMichU.

Kicked off a canvass with @MichiganLCV and @MICollegeDems in Marquette this morning. The U.P. is a priority in this campaign, and we’re putting in the work to earn every vote.

Such a joy to spend the night with neighbors in Grand Rapids tonight to cheer on my running mate, @JocelynBenson.
Our message is simple: Costs down, wages up, and rights protected.

We repealed right-to-work in 2023. John James wants to bring it back. Not on our watch 💪

Just held a press conference outside a gas station, where Michigan families are being hit the hardest. With record-high prices at the pump, John James abdicated his responsibility and voted six times to let this reckless war continue. In November, we will send him packing.

On the line with UAW 1002 in Middleville this morning. 1,200 workers are on strike, and all they're asking for is a fair contract. Jocelyn and I stand with them and with every Michigander's right to collectively bargain.

14 years ago, I launched a write-in campaign for State Representative. Now, I'm honored to be on the ballot with @JocelynBenson. Together, we're building a people-powered movement to transform this state for the better. Early voting starts TODAY, make your plan to vote!

MUSKEGON! Thank you for coming to our meet & greet! Access to capital, economic development, and tariffs hitting small businesses were all top of mind with the folks I spoke with. Jocelyn and I are on it day 1!

Our politics should never include threats of violence against the people who serve us — no matter who they're aimed at.
Invoking "the gallows" for people you disagree with isn't political speech, it's dangerous. I condemn it fully.

West Michigan, thank you for an incredible evening! I'm humbled to have been honored last night, and thankful for the people in that room who helped me along the way.
The last few years have been the privilege of my life. Jocelyn and I will make the next four count!

Detroit knows how to tailgate. Thank you, Ombudsman Sherry Gay-Dagnogo, for hosting me at the Lions opener and connecting me with Detroit small business owners. These Detroiters told me what’s squeezing them: costs. Jocelyn and I are on it on day one.

Senate Majority Leader & Democratic nominee for Lt. Governor @WinnieBrinks and I heard from #SD35 community members on how rising costs are making it tougher to get by & impossible to get ahead. Republicans will never be able to fix this crisis if they can’t admit that Trump's...

Jay DeBoyer was just caught talking about banning abortion in MI. In 2022, Michiganders voted to enshrine access to reproductive freedom as a constitutional right.
Now, they want to rip those rights away. Let’s reject their attempts to restrict our freedoms and raise our costs.
