John, I launched my campaign for Congress over six months ago, and after the encouraging election results in Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky, I wanted to re-introduce myself.

I'm Emily Busch, and I'm running against John James in Michigan's 10th District.

Whether you've heard a little about me, seen me at an event, or you've never met me before, I want to make one thing clear:

I'm running for Congress on behalf of our children.

John, I know a lot of candidates will tell you they're doing this for our kids, but this is a deeply emotional and personal fight for me. If you don't have time to read my whole story, consider making a contribution to the pro-choice Democrat who can flip this seat >>

I'd like to tell you about the day that changed everything. John, this is my son:

On November 30, 2021, he ran for his life from a school shooter.

While my son's teacher heroically led him and his classmates to safety, eleven people were shot that day – including the murder of four kids.

Our community was traumatized. I was sad, scared, but more than anything, I was angry.

In the year after the shooting, elected officials did nothing to address the obvious issue we had with gun control, except offer their "thoughts and prayers." With your help, we can do so much more – chip in today >>

Republicans in our federal government did nothing. In fact, John, people like my opponent are supported by the very same gun industry which has profited off of tragedies in our communities. 🚩

🚩 NOTHING has been done to prevent this in the future.

🚩 NOTHING has been done to dig into the deep-rooted causes of gun violence, especially in marginalized communities.

🚩 NOTHING has been done to help us all heal. Where is John James?

I hope you feel the sadness, fear, and anger I feel. Inaction isn't enough for me, John. In response, I did what moms do: rolled up my sleeves and went right to work.

Now, I've spent months making sure folks across the district know about my plan to push the needle on gun laws in our country and keep the horrific and tragic events at Oxford from happening again.

This is a competitive district, John. We have a real chance to flip a seat in Congress and actually do something about abortion rights, gun violence, and so many other challenges and opportunities.

To make this long-term change, we need a change of leadership in Congress. Your contributions will help us beat the Republicans and win this race. Will you join our team with a contribution of any amount today?

Thank you,
Emily Busch

Emily first learned the importance of community and helping others from her mom, a nurse, and dad, a manufacturing representative, while growing up in a tight-knit, middle-class Midwestern family.

The proud product of public schools, Emily worked hard in and out of the classroom, balancing her studies and interest in performing arts with an after-school job as a cashier at Ace Hardware. She went on to earn her B.A. in Biology from Indiana University and Masters from Michigan State University.

Now, Emily is running for Congress in Michigan’s 10th District to keep our kids safe, protect our rights, and lower costs for Michigan families.

Emily chose to move to Oakland County two decades ago because it was the place she wanted to raise her family – a place with friendly neighbors, good schools, and safe neighborhoods.

She and her husband, a retired firefighter and Marine, enjoy camping, fishing, and visiting national parks in their free time.
