There's a good quote I heard from former University of Michigan quarterback, Tom Brady:

He said, "The fish don't just jump in the boat."

Meaning, the things you want don't just happen. You have to put in the work. I think that applies nicely to our race.

No matter what anyone may tell you, Michigan is a swing state – full stop. I am not going to win this Senate race just because there is a (D) next to my name on the ballot.

Just as we have swung toward Democrats in recent years, Michigan is known for swinging right on back. It was, after all, a few years ago that Donald Trump won here against Hillary Clinton.

The fish don't just jump in the boat.

I won't win this race without work.

But no one person can do it alone. I can only win if people like you who care contribute what you can toward our victory -- the resources we need to make it happen.

Want to help? Contribute $5, $10 or whatever you can today to help us win this U.S. Senate race in Michigan and keep Trump from winning here as well in November.
