Friend, this is Elissa Slotkin, and I’m running for the open Senate seat in Michigan.
Yesterday, Donald Trump held a rally in Michigan – and he directly attacked me by name for the first time in this campaign. For a man known for his nicknames, he called me “far left liberal lunatic Slotkin” and went through a slew of Trumpian lies about what I believe, say, and do.
We knew it was a matter of time before he went after me personally, and this is likely just the beginning given his style.
That’s why I need your help to fight back and keep Michigan blue in November. Please, use this link to donate now to my campaign and Sheldon Whitehouse's: DONATE
During his rally, Trump stood shoulder to shoulder with Mike Rogers, the GOP candidate Trump endorsed in the messy GOP primary, who he said will be a “warrior” for his far-right agenda in the Senate. He also attacked union workers, railed against his political opponents, and continued his lies about the 2020 election.
And this visit — his fifth in just ten months — comes on the heels of a staggering interview where he laid out, plain and clear, his plans for a second term, including allowing states to monitor womens’ pregnancies and criminally prosecute women who violate abortion bans.
We know Trump’s playbook, friend.
And every time Trump returns, it is a likely boon for our potential opponent – in fundraising, in media coverage, and in volunteer activity.
We need to not only match that energy, but exceed it.
No matter what anyone may tell you, Michigan is a swing state – full stop. And just as we have swung toward Democrats, Michigan is known for swinging right on back.
We can't let that happen. Want to help? Chip in what you can and help send a message that Michigan is sure as hell not ready to swing back to Trump.
