help us celebrate Hillary on Mother’s Day

During her first term in Congress, I’ve seen Hillary fight for West Michigan as strongly as she fights for our family.   Hey, John – It’s Jesse, Hillary’s husband (and also her number one fan!). Hillary’s dedication, compassion, and excellence shine through in every role s…

As extremism rages around the country, the most vulnerable among us are at continued risk of losing our rights.   John, There is so much to focus on right now–extremist Republican rhetoric, Trump on trial, and our democracy in peril. But, for me, every day, at the top of m…
