Michigan Democratic Party

Hi Friend,

It's Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet, Democrat representing MI-08.

This morning, The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced their 2026 "Frontline" Democrats. These are the members considered to be most at-risk in the coming election cycle.

As a new member of Congress representing a Trump +2 district, I was one of the first members added, and I’m the only Democrat from Michigan on this list headed into 2026.

This is our biggest test yet, and we need a groundswell of grassroots support to send a message that we are prepared to defend this seat, retake the House, and create a much-needed check on this administration. Will you split $5 between my campaign and the Michigan Democratic Party today?

Last November, billionaires and special interests – including Elon Musk’s super PAC – spent millions of dollars trying to defeat us.

Despite the surge in outside spending and strong national headwinds working against us, this grassroots coalition helped us hold one of the most competitive districts in the country – one that Donald Trump carried by 2%.

House Republicans are desperate to expand their majority, and they believe MI-08 is one of the best places to focus their efforts.

If we want to retake the gavel and put a meaningful check on Trump and Elon Musk, we cannot lose districts like MI-08. The future of Social Security, abortion rights, and our children’s educations could all come down to what happens right here – and that’s no exaggeration, Friend.

We’re on the Frontline, and we need to start preparing today:

One of the most consequential actions we can take right now to put a check on the administration is to win back the Majority in 2026. That’s why I’m hoping you’ll chip in a split $5 donation between my campaign and the Michigan Democratic Party to help me defend this seat.
