John,

Today is the last day of school for my girls. And, while they are looking forward to an obscene amount of popsicles over the next three months, the slip ‘n slide we put on our front lawn, and generally creating havoc in our house (“Mom – can I keep Ralph the mouse I found in the garage?”... “It was already in the house – who cares if I put it in my room?!”) I know there are families in our district making tough choices: weighing housing options, the costs of childcare and work, and thinking about the cost of groceries over the summer.

The reality is that Upper and Northern Michigan are often overlooked.

Our very own Congressman has shown time and time again that he prioritizes party politics over the needs of our community. While he treats his position like a retirement hobby, we struggle with the rising costs of gas, groceries, and childcare.

We need a representative who understands our challenges and will work tirelessly to improve our lives.

As a mom of two who faced firsthand the challenges that come with raising two little girls in today’s world, I’m committed to being that leader in Congress.

But to unseat Bergman, I need a surge of contributions to build undeniable momentum ahead of our quarterly deadline at the end of the month. Will you chip in $10 or whatever you can right now?
