Christmas is almost here, and I wanted to reach out and speak honestly with you.
The holiday season can be about warmth, family, and joy. About love, generosity, and hope. It can be a magical time of year – especially for kids.
But for a lot of Michiganders, and folks across the country, this Christmas feels heavier than it should.
I’ve been hearing it everywhere I go:
Working people lying awake at night doing mental math – wondering where another $300 a month will come from when their health insurance subsidies expire on Jan. 1.
Seniors worried about their heating bills climbing higher and higher – debating whether to turn the thermostat down again, or cut back somewhere else.
Parents who want nothing more than to give their kids a little Christmas magic – a big family meal, toys under the tree, decorations around the house – but who’ve seen grocery prices eat away the little extra they had.
That stress doesn’t disappear just because it’s the holidays. If anything, it can feel sharper.
And I want you to know: I see you. I hear you. I carry your stories with me every day.
And yet – I still believe. I still feel hope.
Many of you will be heading to Christmas Eve services this week, which are, at their core, a celebration of the birth of a child.
A child not born into wealth, and not born in a gold-plated palace – but born among farm animals and placed in a manger.
That story has always meant something to me, because I believe that great things come from humble beginnings. I believe in the goodness of people. In the strength of coming together with hopeful expectations. In the simple, everyday courage of communities that show up for each other, day in and day out.
I see it in parents juggling two jobs and still making it to a school concert. In the resilience of small businesses, the solidarity in union halls, and the pride on factory floors.
That’s what I’m holding on to this Christmas.
Folks, our country has had a tough year. Michigan has had a tough year. But we won’t lose hope.
We adapt. We help each other. And we fight back when the system stops working for the people it’s supposed to serve. That’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate.
Because I believe we can build an economy where families don’t have to choose between heat and health care. Where working people aren’t punished by chaos in Washington. Where dignity, fairness, and decency aren’t partisan – they’re expected.
So as Christmas approaches, my hope for you is simple: that you find moments of joy and peace. That you feel connected to the people you love. And that you know, even if things feel uncertain – you are not alone.
And if you’re in a position to help – and truly, only if you’re able – a contribution to this grassroots campaign helps us keep fighting for Michigan families. Every dollar goes toward reaching voters, fighting back against the chaos, and building a future that works for everyone.
But more than anything, I just wanted to say this: I believe in Michigan. I believe in you. And even in hard seasons, I believe we can still choose hope.
Let’s create something better, together.
Merry Christmas.
With grit and gratitude,
Haley
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?Paid for by Haley Stevens for Senate.
