Dear friend, 

When I was first elected to Congress in 2008, I always knew there would come a time to pass the torch to the next generation of public servants and allow them the opportunity to bring fresh energy and ideas to our nation’s capital. Our founding fathers envisioned members of Congress as citizens serving their country for a few terms and then returning to private life. I agree. 

After three terms in the House and two terms in the Senate, I believe now is time for me to write a few more paragraphs in my current chapter and turn over the reins. I will therefore not seek reelection in 2026.

So, as a supporter and friend, I wanted you to hear it directly (click the image below for a short video):

Although I will not be on the ballot next year, I will not just walk away. I plan to actively campaign to ensure we elect a dynamic Democratic candidate to be the next U.S. Senator from Michigan.

I have always believed that American democracy can only remain healthy and vibrant when every citizen takes an active role in strengthening their community.  I look forward to continuing to take an active role alongside you in that mission.  

Thank you again for all your support and your commitment to our democracy. 

Gary
