Keep Michigan and Congress blue by splitting a donation between Hillary Scholten and Debbie Stabenow before Thursday's FEC midnight deadline.

Friend – I'm running to represent Michigan's newly redrawn, Democratic-leaning 3rd District in the United States Congress!

I can't wait to tell you more about myself. First, I've got some good news: Fair redistricting in Michigan made 2022 our best shot to flip MI-03 blue in decades. It went from a district Donald Trump won by 3 points to one President Biden won by 8 points. Not only is it a seat we can win–but it's one we HAVE to win to hold our U.S. House majority and make sure we can keep as many Democratic seats in Michigan as possible!

We need a surge of momentum to put our campaign on the map with our first FEC quarterly filing! Can I count on you to split a donation between Debbie Stabenow and my campaign before Thursday's midnight FEC deadline?

My story is a West Michigan story.

I was born and raised in West Michigan – my mother was a public school teacher, and my father was a local reporter. Through their work, we met people, families, and students facing difficult times who didn't have their voices heard or their stories told by the decision-makers in their lives. My parents sought to change that.

My parents' work and the stories of the families we met inspired my career in public service – first as a social worker helping individuals facing homelessness, and then as an attorney, where I served our country in the U.S. Department of Justice during the Obama Administration.

This work also led me back home to West Michigan, where I've continued to serve my community as an attorney, a deacon in my church, and an engaged neighbor and community volunteer. My husband, Jesse -- a local college professor -- and I raise our two rambunctious boys right around the corner from where my grandfather grew up.

I'm running for Congress to be a voice at the table for all West Michiganders. The most important issues facing our nation – health care, voting rights, critical infrastructure issues, and boosting the bottom line for hard-working families in need – are all on the line.

My campaign in 2020 broke records for how close we came, how much money we raised, and how many volunteers we engaged. It was powerful and inspiring. My resolve and desire to serve West Michigan haven't changed from my 2020 campaign, but something has changed: Michigan's 3rd District.

An independent commission redrew the District, and it's now rated as a PURE toss-up according to The Cook Political Report – meaning we can and will flip this seat to expand our Democratic House majority.

Folks, don't get me wrong – this will still be a battleground race. But, with hard work and a strong grassroots team, I know we'll be able to win this thing!

Folks, I can't do this alone. That's why I'm counting on you. Will you pitch in toward my first FEC End-of-Quarter goal to help our campaign make a big splash right from the start?

Let's get to work!

Hillary
