Here we are, friends.
Tomorrow, Michiganders will vote in the primary to decide which Democrat will face Mike Rogers in November.
There’s nothing left for me to say that I haven’t already said in a union hall or on somebody’s porch.
What I keep thinking about is the people I’m in this for. I’ve met a lot of Michiganders during this campaign, and I mean it when I say I’m carrying each of you around with me. I see your faces, I think about what you said, I remember your stories.
I’ll meet somebody and chat with them for a few minutes at a diner, and then six months later I’m in a committee hearing in Washington, and their face turns up in my head. And it reminds me what’s important – the real folks behind the policies.
I’ve got a lot of those faces in my head now.
I think about Myleka behind the counter at her bagel place in Grand Rapids, the apprentices at the UA Local 85 picnic, the little girl who flexed for our camera like Rosie the Riveter, the woman who runs the pet store in South Haven, the gals at the fish fry on Tigers Opening Day who came up to me in tears worried about their energy bill, the mom on a porch in Detroit who asked plainly what I was going to do about her rising insurance premium … all of these good folks who deserve a fighter in the Senate.
That’s who this is for. These Michiganders are the reason I’m doing this.
I’m proud that we ran this campaign the way Michiganders actually live. We showed up in small rooms in every corner of this state and we listened, we learned, and then we told people directly what we’d do and why.
That’s it. That’s the whole strategy. It’s not glamorous, but public service rarely is.
The most exciting part is that if we win, I get to keep doing this good, hard work. Lowering costs. Protecting Social Security and health care. Bringing manufacturing home. Standing up to Donald Trump and Mike Rogers. Being the person in that room who is thinking about the mom on the porch in Detroit while the other side is thinking about their right-wing MAGA billionaire donors.
I have fought for Michigan my entire life. I love this state. It made me who I am – a gritty policy geek with a special place in her heart for the place that raised her.
And tomorrow, it’s up to Michigan to decide who represents them in the U.S. Senate. That’s exactly how it’s supposed to be. That’s the whole point of the thing. Michigan voters decide. I love that about this country, even on the nights it makes me a little anxious.
So I’m asking one favor tonight:
Please, make a plan to vote tomorrow. Polls are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. And if your absentee ballot is still at home, don’t mail it at this point – hand-deliver it to your local clerk’s office.
If you’ve already voted, thank you. Now I want you to be a little annoying: call your sister, text your neighbor, remind them tomorrow is the big day. We can’t let up.
And if you’re able, chip in tonight to help us reach every last voter in the final hours. [ [link removed] ]
Last thing: THANK YOU.
I mean that. Thousands of you chipped in, knocked doors, made calls. You told me your stories. I’m honored to fight for you.
This whole campaign has been a love letter to Michigan. I’m grateful you’ve helped me write it.
With 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?
