Before we turn the page on August

Our August deadline is midnight tonight. When we wake up tomorrow, we'll be another month closer to Election Day, with fewer opportunities left to expand our field operation, reach undecided voters, and make our case across West Michigan. There are no do-overs in a campaign. We don't get Augus…

MAGA’s #1 target 🎯

Last year, Cook Political Report rated Iowa's Senate race "Solid R." When I launched this campaign, they upgraded Iowa to “Likely R.” When I won my primary by 25 points in June, they raised it to “Lean R.” This week, they raised us to TOSS-UP – cue the sitting ovation! SPLIT A DONATION! …

The backpacks are coming back out

John, Back-to-school season is here in West Michigan. For parents, that means new schedules, school supply lists, earlier bedtimes, and trying to remember where everyone is supposed to be in the morning. But this time of year also reminds me why I do this work. Our kids are growing up in…

2 truths and a lie

Let's play a quick game of two truths and a lie. 1️⃣ My opponent has received significant financial backing from the DeVos family. 2️⃣ My opponent called herself a "political outsider." 3️⃣ My opponent personally knocked on more than 10,000 doors across West Michigan. Take a guess... If you gue…

We’re in the home stretch

We are in the home stretch now, and I want to be honest with you about what we're up against. The DeVos family has been writing big checks to my opponent since the day she entered this race. I flipped MI-03 in 2022 for the first time in nearly 50 years. I won reelection in 2024. They happened …

Only TWO open toss-up seats. Republicans just booked $10M.

Michigan's 10th is one of only two open toss-up House seats in the country, and Republicans have already booked more than $10 million in ads to take it. They know this seat helps decide the majority. I’m officially the Democratic nominee for Congress in this district. I’m a mom, a special victims…

Every week counts

The work that wins elections starts long before Election Day. Right now, we're hiring staff, training volunteers, planning our voter outreach, and preparing for the millions of dollars Republicans and special interest groups are expected to spend against Hillary. The DeVos family has already m…

We’ve entered the next chapter

John, Now that the primary is behind us, the real work begins. The next few months will determine who represents West Michigan in Congress and whether we have a House majority willing to stand up to Donald Trump and his chaos-driven administration. My Republican opponent has the backing of …

Three seats. One mission.

The general election is officially underway, and Michigan is at the center of the fight for the House. Democrats need to flip just THREE seats to take back the House. That's why I launched Majorities Are Made in Michigan, because the path to the majority runs right through this state, and I'm not…

The general election starts right now

I am officially the Democratic nominee for MI-03, and the general election starts right now! Last Tuesday was a big day, but what comes next is bigger. The DeVos family has spent all year writing big checks to prop up my opponent and flood West Michigan with money. They’ve been preparing for this…

Primary Day

Today is primary day, and I woke up this morning thinking about you. I’m so grateful for this community and for all the people who have shown up, donated, knocked on doors, and refused to let the DeVos money machine have its way in West Michigan. You’ve made this campaign what it is, and I don't …

The hard truth about this race

Follow the money

If you want to know who's trying to shape an election, follow the money. When we looked at Terri DeBoer's first fundraising report, one number stood out above all the others: nearly half of the money her campaign raised came from a single source, the DeVos family. That's not a grassroots campa…

Michigan is not for sale
