Hi Friend,

Did you see Elissa's note on Betsy Devos? I've included it below, just in case.

Here's why her message is so important right now: 

According to pollster Nate Silver, Michigan is one of 2024’s most important battlegrounds.

Betsy DeVos and her family know this. That’s why they’ve already poured in tens of thousands of dollars to help Republicans like Elissa’s opponent, Mike Rogers, win in November.

The polls are close, and we know from previous election cycles that the DeVos family is only getting started. 

I'll be blunt – Elissa needs our support right now to keep Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat blue.  

I’m proud to be the first woman to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate. But I always said it wasn’t enough to be the first -– there has to be a second and a third. 

Elissa is ready to take the torch, but she can’t do that unless you support her at important times like today. 

Your donation today will help Elissa have the resources she needs to fight the coming attacks from the DeVos family, Donald Trump, and the rest of the national Republican party.

So, what do you say? Can Elissa and I count on you to split a donation before midnight tonight?

Thanks, 

Debbie

If you were waiting for the perfect time to make one more donation to my campaign for Senate, not only is today the perfect day but there's also a very good reason as well.

Betsy DeVos.

If you're already familiar with her significant support for my opponent and are ready to chip in to my campaign and the Michigan Victory Fund, please use this link to give:

Otherwise, let me go a little deeper...including a very recent revelation about her designs on a role in a second Trump administration.

As Michiganders know, for decades the DeVos family’s #1 issue has been weakening Michigan's, and the country's, public education system. Betsy DeVos used Michigan as her petri dish before becoming Trump’s Secretary of Education, and one of his longest serving cabinet secretaries.

Much like our Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, she condemned Donald Trump after January 6, 2021. In Betsy DeVos’ case, she “resigned in protest” as Education Secretary, blaming his rhetoric on the insurrection — just 13 days before the end of Trump’s term.

And like my current opponent who turned around and worked hard for Trump's endorsement, Betsy DeVos is now back — and willing to serve in a second Trump administration.

So what does that mean?

As if there weren't already a million reasons to defeat Donald Trump, there's now one more: keeping Betsy DeVos out of any role of prominence in Washington, D.C.

And there is no doing that without winning in Michigan.

The DeVos family has been some of the top supporters to opponents of mine in the past, and they've doubled down on this Senate race.

Mike Rogers' first FEC report in this race was filled with donations from a bunch of members of the DeVos family — contributions totaling $46,200 all made on one single day. And just last week, Betsy DeVos herself was campaigning with Mike Rogers at a roundtable just a day before the primary election.

They are certainly not done with their support of my opponent.

On a positive note, the response to emails about the DeVos donations has raised far more than the DeVos family has contributed. But we have to keep going, because their family's unlimited wealth can impact this race in many more ways.

So in light of this news about Betsy DeVos' potential return to Washington, D.C. and her role in campaigning for my opponent, I am asking:

Can you split a contribution of $25 directly to the Michigan Victory Fund and my campaign for U.S. Senate in Michigan? I will put your donation made today in Betsy’s name right to work persuading the voters we need to win in Michigan this fall.

$25

$50

$100

Thank you.

Elissa
