John, I wasn't entirely sure where I wanted to start this story, but here it goes: freshman year of college, my dad died of cancer. It rocked my world.
Then, just a few months later, I got news I never saw coming — I was pregnant. I didn't know a lot at that age, but I knew I wasn't ready.
|
So I decided to have an abortion.
|
I didn't have a lot of places to turn, but I did have my best friend Jessica, who's mom lent us her minivan so we could drive to the Planned Parenthood in Fort Wayne.
And while it was a scary time in my life, at the end of the day, I had a choice. I had the freedom to control my own healthcare decisions and my future.
John, that choice meant everything, and looking back, it completely changed my life.
But the sad reality is that today, so many women across the country don't have that choice. Nineteen year old girls today have less rights than I did thirty-three years ago.
So I’m sharing this story, and it will be the first time that many close to me hear it. But I know that this is the right thing to do, because we need more leaders who understand what access to abortion care can mean to a person.
Unfortunately, folks in this race – like MAGA extremist John James, and my anti-choice primary opponent Carl Marlinga – have aligned themselves with the same groups actively looking to take away our right to an abortion, birth control, IVF, and more!

We deserve better, John — that's why I'm running for Congress.

Emily first learned the importance of community and helping others from her mom, a nurse, and dad, a manufacturing representative, while growing up in a tight-knit, middle-class Midwestern family.
The proud product of public schools, Emily worked hard in and out of the classroom, balancing her studies and interest in performing arts with an after-school job as a cashier at Ace Hardware. She went on to earn her B.A. in Biology from Indiana University and Masters from Michigan State University.
Now, Emily is running for Congress in Michigan’s 10th District to keep our kids safe, protect our rights, and lower costs for Michigan families.
Emily chose to move to Oakland County two decades ago because it was the place she wanted to raise her family – a place with friendly neighbors, good schools, and safe neighborhoods.
She and her husband, a retired firefighter and Marine, enjoy camping, fishing, and visiting national parks in their free time.
