Friends,

Trump will be in Michigan on Thursday for his first visit since Democrats wrapped up their convention last week — and 8th time since kicking off his 2024 campaign. It would mean A LOT to me if you would chip in today.

It comes just a few days after a visit to Howell, Michigan — in my district — last week and a visit to Detroit on Monday. On Tuesday, J.D. Vance was in Michigan as well. I’ll explain why all of this is important in a moment.

But first, I am asking for a contribution — $7 or whatever you can afford — before Donald Trump gets here on Thursday. If that's all you need to hear, please use this link to split a donation to the DLGA and my campaign today:

Here's how former President Trump's visit plays in our race:

We know that both the presidential race and the Senate majority will be decided by Michigan — and recent polls show that our race is a dead heat. Cook Political Report recently downgraded our race from “lean Democratic” to “toss up.”

Given that the Senate race is the top of the ticket in the state, we know that whatever happens in our race will impact the presidential, too. That’s why Trump has given Mike Rogers his full-throated endorsement — and why he’s attacked me directly, by name, calling me a “far-left liberal lunatic.” We expect to hear that and more tomorrow, unfortunately.

He knows that in order to win Michigan, the Republican nominee needs to win the Senate race — and he’s going to do whatever he can to make that happen.

That means we can likely expect to see Trump in Michigan a lot — more in the home stretch. And National Republicans will be doing everything they can to flip our state red and boost our ultimate GOP opponent in the Senate race. In fact, there are already attack ads against me on TV — and we know more are on the way.

If we are going to keep this seat blue in November, we need to hold the line by keeping our own positive TV ads on the air, doubling down on our field outreach, and continuing to meet voters in every corner of the state.

Trump will be here on Thursday. It would be a huge boon to our campaign if you would chip in and show your support before he gets here. Our goal is to send a message that we are NOT letting them win back Michigan! Even a single $5 or $10 contribution, split between my campaign and the DLGA goes a long way when lots of folks are chipping in.

Thank you again. Your donation today — especially today — really means a lot.
