Hi, John – this is Congresswoman Haley Stevens writing to you with exciting news: I just launched my campaign for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat. 

Winning in Michigan is essential to regaining our Democratic Senate majority, and right now The Cook Political Report is rating our race as a “Toss Up.” That means we’re already one of the GOP’s top targets for defeat. Just last year, they spent nearly $80 million trying to buy Michigan’s Senate seat and came up only 0.3% short, so I need your early support to win.

John, I want to tell you a bit more about myself and why I’m running. But if that’s all you needed to hear and you’re ready to get to work, please chip in whatever you can – split between my campaign and Blue Amp Action –  to help hit our $1 million launch goal and become a Founding Donor of my campaign to keep Michigan blue.

I’m proud to be a lifelong Michigander. I learned the value of hard work by watching my parents – who owned their own landscaping business – build things. Heavy machinery equipment, bobcats, plows, dirt, grease, and grime – it was all part of my childhood. 

Later in life, I got the call to give back to the state I love during a time of great uncertainty: the Great Recession. I can’t tell you how unfathomable it was to hear the words “bankruptcy” and “General Motors” in the same sentence. So I stepped up to do my part and served as chief of staff for the Auto Rescue initiative under President Obama. 

We brought workers, corporations, and union leadership around the same table to stabilize the auto industry. On Friday nights, I’d stay in the office until the late evening and return every call from every Michigander who called our office worried about the future. In the end, we saved 200,000 Michigan jobs. 

I can’t help but see parallels between then and now as we find ourselves in another moment of great uncertainty, thanks to the chaos forced on us by Donald Trump and his billionaire buddy Elon Musk. 

People are rightly concerned about rising costs, shoot-from-the-hip tariffs, and attacks on our personal freedoms. Michiganders need a fighter in their corner – and that’s who I’ve been my entire life. 

If you’re ready to fight with me – to win this battleground race, take back the Senate majority, and stop Trump – can you split a grassroots donation between my campaign and Blue Amp Action? Every dollar counts toward my $1 million campaign launch goal.

I know a thing or two about winning competitive races when the odds are stacked against me. Back in 2018, I flipped a battleground House seat from red to blue and helped usher in a Democratic majority to serve as a check on the first Trump administration. I was also just recognized as the most effective Michigan congressperson in the House. 

I’m taking that tenacity straight to the campaign trail. But I need you with me, John. Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate, Mike Rogers, is running again – and we know Republicans will spend tens of millions of dollars to buy this Senate seat for Trump.

That’s why we must build the strongest possible campaign from day one: Help me hit this $1 million campaign launch goal by making a gift of $10 split with Blue Amp Action. With your support, we’ll win Michigan’s open Senate seat, take back the Senate for Democrats, and stop the chaos and uncertainty of the Trump administration.

Thank you for being a part of this team right from the get-go. I’m so grateful for your support. 

Haley

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do!
