Hi friend – this is Haley Stevens, Democratic congresswoman and candidate for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat. I’d like to tell you a fun fact about Michigan. (Before I do, can you take 30 seconds to chip in $5 and help us win this battleground race?)

Did you know that Michigan is the only place in the world with a floating post office?

It’s true. It’s also the only floating ZIP code in the United States: 48222.

Now as much as I love factoids about Michigan, I know your time is precious, and I also know you’re probably wondering when I’m going to get to the point.

But Michigan is the point. Consider this a love letter to Michigan, if you will.

There are few other places where you can grow up around just so much ingenuity and innovation. I saw it firsthand from my parents, who owned their own landscaping business. The grease, grime, and grit that went along with it was pure Michigan.

Michigan’s ingenuity created the middle class, and it’s been the backbone of our country’s middle class. It’s launched cultural movements and music legends. Its vast natural landscapes have provided solace and adventure for generations of Americans. And in Oakland County, Michigan, I had the sort of upbringing any kid deserves, all while learning the value of hard work.

I love Michigan and its people. That’s why I’m running to fight for my home state in the U.S. Senate. Michiganders – and people around the nation – deserve so much better than Donald Trump’s unchecked chaos and uncertainty. They deserve stability and a brighter future.

That’s why I’m so determined to win and help Democrats take back the Senate majority so we can serve as the strongest check possible on Trump’s unhinged agenda. I’m counting on you, friend, to help me win.

Will you become a part of this movement by chipping in $5 or more to help me win Michigan’s battleground Senate seat and flip the Senate? Consider your donation a stamp on this love letter to Michigan. Together, let’s build a better future for our state and country!

Thank you,

Haley Stevens

P.S. Since you made it this far, here’s one more fun fact: Did you know if you stretched out the shoreline of Lake Superior, it would run from Duluth all the way to the islands of the Bahamas?! That’s pretty cool if you ask me.
