  JOHN, it's no secret that our race is considered the third most competitive House race in the country. This is why we set a big mid-month goal of $5,000. We're counting on your support to help us flip this seat and defeat Carl's far-right opponent, John James. Will you chip in? L…

3 reasons to support my campaign

  JOHN – here are three reasons why we urgently need your support of $5, $25, or any amount: I came up short by 1,600 votes last year, making MI-10 the third closest House race in the entire country. MI-10 is a pure toss-up and national Republicans are going to flood this race wit…
