Just a few days ago, I stood shoulder to shoulder with the Teamsters on the picket line outside Henry Ford Genesys Hospital – standing up for something every worker deserves: fair pay and a safe place to work.
It was cold, the wind biting in that Michigan way, but the energy on that line was electric. These workers weren’t just demanding better conditions for themselves. They were standing up for the dignity of all working people – today, and for generations to come. And I was proud to be with them.
Because for me, it’s always been workers first. It always will be.
That day, I met nurses who’ve been in the profession for 35 years. I talked to folks just starting out in their careers – young, determined, and passionate about the care they provide. I spoke with retirees who drove up from Warren just to stand in solidarity with their fellow Teamsters.
Not one person on that picket line was there to get rich. They were out in the cold fighting for something far more basic: the chance to earn a living wage, support themselves, and retire with dignity.
One conversation has stuck with me in particular. A Teamster retiree told me he gets about $663 a month from his pension, plus some Social Security. His mobile home rent is $700 a month. He picks up work when he can. That conversation hit me hard – because it reminded me of my own dad, who’s in his 80s and still works today. He’s proud to work. It keeps him young. But the reality is that too many retirees can’t afford the basics anymore. Housing costs are through the roof, displacing seniors and stripping lifelong workers of the dignity they’ve earned.
This is not acceptable.
I was born and raised in Michigan. Our state doesn’t just have a strong union tradition – we helped build the American labor movement. From the sit-down strike in Flint to the Battle of the Overpass in Dearborn, Michigan workers have led literal fights for workers’ rights in this country.
The 40-hour workweek. Workplace safety protections. Weekends. Overtime pay. The right to organize. None of it was handed to us – workers fought for it, together.
And this is critical: Those wins didn’t just help union members – they raised the floor for every worker in America. That’s why what happens here in Michigan matters so much to the entire country.
But right now, those rights are under attack.
Donald Trump and his allies want to weaken unions, strip away protections, and divide working people. They want a Senate where billionaires and lobbyists call the shots – not nurses, electricians, auto workers, or teachers.
That’s why I’m running for Senate.
Because I know what’s at stake.
Because I personally know the folks who will be affected if we let Trump and his pals bust our unions.
Because I’ve spent my career fighting for Michigan workers. And I’ll never stop.
I helped lead President Obama’s auto rescue and helped save over 200,000 Michigan jobs. In Congress, I’ve fought for better wages, safer workplaces, and stronger investments in American manufacturing.
But at the core of it all is this guiding principle: I am here to help you work.
To make sure our nurses can do their jobs safely and effectively. To ensure that our retirees don’t have to choose between food and rent. To protect the right to organize and build real economic security for every working family.
And let me be clear: There is no strong middle class without strong unions.
Organized labor built this country’s middle class. When union power declines, wages stagnate. Inequality rises. Communities get gutted. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
We can strengthen the right to organize. We can pass laws that empower workers. We can build a Michigan where every worker – no matter where they live or what they do – has dignity, security, and opportunity.
That’s the Michigan way. That’s our legacy. That’s the future I’m fighting for.
I joined the Teamsters because the right to organize is sacred. Because workers deserve to be heard. Because when labor rights are under attack, we fight back.
They don’t call me Michigan’s pit bull for nothing.
So let’s link arms. Let’s stand together. Let’s fight back, and then – we’ll win.
If you’re with me, chip in to support this campaign for workers and help keep Michigan blue:
With grit and gratitude,

A personal note from Haley 👋

I’m a lifelong Michigander and the daughter of small-business owners. I’ve spent my career fighting for Michigan’s working families – and now I’m running for the U.S. Senate to keep standing up for the people I love.

But here’s the truth: Senate control could come down to Michigan. And Trump and his megadonors know it. That’s why they’re gearing up to spend tens of millions to defeat me and hand this seat to a MAGA Republican.

I need your help to fight back. This race will be one of the most competitive – and expensive – in the country, and I’m counting on grassroots support to win.

If you’re with me, will you chip in today?
