Hillary has four opponents who are extreme and well-financed

Whenever Hillary has the privilege of speaking with the residents of our district, she always hears that folks don’t understand why they need to pay attention to elections in an off year.   John, We hate to add to the chaos of your inbox, but Team Scholten has a considerable fun…

a quick update

The reality of running a robust campaign in a district as competitive as MI-03 is that you have to have a lot of money to win. With four Republican opponents, we have to raise more than ever to be ready to beat any of them.   Hi John, It’s Sarah here, Senior Campaign Advisor at…
