John, Senator Elissa Slotkin here.
Last night I gave the official response to President Trump’s Joint Address. I hope you had a chance to watch.
Since I’m a stranger to most people who don’t follow politics, I introduced myself and just kept it straight with the people watching about the moment we are in right now.
We just went through another fraught election season. Americans made it clear that they want change. But there is a responsible way to make change, and a reckless way. And, we can make that change without forgetting who we are as a country, and as a democracy.
Because no matter where you live, most Americans share three core beliefs: That the middle class is the engine of our country. That strong national security protects us from harm. And that our democracy, no matter how messy, is unparalleled and worth fighting for.
We all know that our country is going through something right now. We’re not sure what the next day is going to hold, let alone the next decade.
But this isn’t the first time we’ve experienced this as a country. Every single time, we’ve gotten through those moments because of two things: Engaged citizens and principled leaders.
If you're with me in that fight, I have an ask of you:
Can you split a contribution between my campaign and The Majority Rules to help us elect a new generation of leaders who put country first?
