Hi there, it's Elissa Slotkin.
Trump will be in Howell, Michigan today for his second visit since formally accepting the Republican nomination and naming J.D. Vance as his running mate – and his 7th time since kicking off his 2024 campaign.
Howell also happens to be in my current Congressional district, and I’ll explain why that’s important in a moment.
But first, I am asking for a contribution — $20 or whatever you can afford — before Donald Trump gets here today. If that's all you need to hear, please use this link to split a donation to Tim Kaine and my campaign today:

Howell, Michigan is a historically conservative town I won by *13 votes* in 2022.
It's in Livingston County, a county that Trump won with 60% of the vote against Joe Biden last time around.
If you’ve followed any of our three campaigns, you've heard me say that a key objective for us is to "lose better." That means doing just a little bit better in the Republican-leaning areas of Michigan.
Howell, the place Trump is visiting, was at the heart of that strategy in my last election.
So it is no surprise that Trump and likely Mike Rogers will be there.
Because they know what I know: if I can "lose better" in places like Livingston, County -- we are going to win this Senate race, and we are likely to help Kamala Harris win as well.
That’s what we have to do, but I cannot do it alone.
It would be a huge boon to our campaign if you would chip in and show your support before Trump gets here. Our goal is to send a message that we are NOT letting them win back Michigan! Even a single $10 or $20 contribution to Tim Kaine and my campaign goes a long way when lots of folks are chipping in.
