Friends,
I expected my opponent to be handpicked by the likes of Mitch McConnell, and I certainly anticipated national GOP interests spending millions to help that opponent defeat me. It’s an ugly, albeit very real, part of politics.
What I didn’t expect was an opponent who, in his own words, supports President Trump’s agenda “2,000 percent.”
Do you know what I think when I hear that, friends? That my opponent supports gutting funds to protect our Great Lakes – which President Trump proposed in his last budget. It makes me think that he wants to rip away health care for nearly 1 million Michiganders who are insured because of the Affordable Care Act, which the president has vowed to repeal.
And it makes me think my opponent wouldn’t bat an eye at the president’s attacks on our free press and democratic institutions. None of that is reflective of Michigan, and none of that will do anything to help hardworking Michigan families.
I’m looking forward to reading your feedback. Thank you.
Gary
