It’s official: I am the Democratic Nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan. I
know our campaign has sent a lot of emails your way, so I want to take a
few minutes to tell you about my decision to run for Senate in the first
place, and why your support is so important in our success.

The truth is, we all know America is going through something right now. We
seem to be living from crisis to crisis. But there are certain things that
should be really simple:

Like living a middle-class life in the state that invented the middle
class.

Like making things in America so that we’re in control of our own economic
security.

Like protecting our children from the things that are truly harming them.

And preserving our rights and our democracy so that our kids can live
their version of the American dream.

I’m running for Senate because I believe that we need a new generation of
leaders that thinks differently, works harder, and never forgets that we
are public servants.

But my decision to run for Senate is also deeply personal to me, and it's
related to what motivated me to first run for the House in 2018.

It's about my mom. She was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer in 2009
— and didn't have health insurance at the time. She had let it lapse after
the insurance companies had gouged her for years because she happened to
have a pre-existing condition. She passed away in 2011, but that
experience — of desperately trying to get her care at the same moment we
were filling out bankruptcy paperwork — motivated me to run then, and
keeps me motivated to fight now. I remember the exact moment that I
decided to enter public office: when the then-GOP controlled House of
Representatives, the body I now serve in, voted to repeal those
protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Six years later, the Republican leaders, fueled by the extreme wing of the
party, are continuing the march to repeal things that the average
Americans want. They want to privatize Social Security and Medicare,
repeal drug price protections like allowing Medicare to negotiate, then
there’s the rights they’re obsessed with repealing: a woman’s right to
choose, voting rights, and any possible gun safety legislation.

By winning this Senate seat, we’ll help ensure that Democrats retain the
(slight!) majority and can pass legislation that expands access to
healthcare. Not the obsession with taking things away.

To be upfront: Winning this race is going to take a lot of resources. A
crazy amount. And we have to do it without raising a single dollar from
corporate PACs.
