Friend, After 22-years in the U.S. Army, I often felt like I was pretending to be a politician while serving in elected office. My opponent, however, who is a 22-year politician, is now pretending to be in the U.S. Army.

Believe it or not, he actually got caught pretending to be a veteran at a Veterans Day Memorial.

My opponent isn’t in office anymore and wasn’t invited to the event, but somehow elbowed his way into the program, while wearing a U.S. Army-issued uniform jacket, while never telling anyone it wasn’t his.

Here’s what it looks like on actual Army…

We have enough phony politicians who say one thing while doing another; who pretend to be one thing while actually something else.

This race is the top open seat in the country and you can make a difference by making a secure online donation today to help us win Michigan’s 7th District.

Whether it is just $10, $25, $50, $100, or even $250, any donation you can afford will help this campaign.

And I promise you that I will never pretend to be something I’m not. I’m a father, a husband, and someone who loves our country and our state. That’s what will guide me in Congress.
