Friends,
Earlier this year, on the House floor, Rep. Jack Bergman labeled all immigrants as "felons, gang members, drug traffickers, and terrorists." Fact: Crime rates among undocumented individuals and US citizens are virtually identical.
This rhetoric undermines the values of diversity, compassion, and respect that our nation holds dear.
While we recognize the need for border security and immigration reform, no decent person should ever refer to immigrants as sub-human.
Bergman and Trump derailed the most substantial border security bill in US history to create chaos at the border and chaos in the political arena.
Last night, they intentionally weaponized this wedge issue for political gain, and to the detriment of our nation.
I'm on a mission to be part of the Democratic slate that defeats Bergman and Trump, but I need your help.
Michigan is a swing state, and my district used to be purple. For quality candidates up and down the ballot, we have to get it back. I have the strongest campaign to do that. Friend, can you chip in today? Will you please fund me?
We have so much work to do.
