“Rogers, Stevens lead Michigan U.S. Senate fundraising with wealthy and corporate donors”
John, this headline from Michigan Advance says everything you need to know about this race:
When billionaires and corporations flood a campaign with cash, they’re not doing it out of kindness. They’re making an investment — and they expect a return.
That’s why, while healthcare costs skyrocket, politicians say their hands are tied. Yet there’s somehow always money for corporate tax breaks.
John, at a moment of historic wealth inequality, the last thing Michigan needs is a corporate-backed crony in Washington answering to billionaires instead of working people.
I’m running for Senate because it shouldn’t be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.
And I want to be crystal clear about something: I’m the only candidate in this race who has never taken money from corporate PACs, and never will.
That means no billionaires pulling the strings. No corporations writing the rules. Sole accountability to working people.
But that choice comes with a real tradeoff. Because I’m not taking any corporate PAC money, I’m fully relying on people like you to fuel our campaign.
If we want to compete with our corporate-backed opponents, we need to be fundraising nearly 24/7. That’s why, even though I don’t love asking you for money, I have to.
John, I know not everyone can afford to give right now, but if you’re able to, can you pitch in to support our campaign?
