It Takes a Veteran to Fight Back

Patriot, The Radical Left is desperate to keep Michigan BLUE. And now, the fight is getting ugly. Soros-backed Super PACs are flooding our state with money, launching attack after attack against John James because they know he is the ONE Republican who can flip Michigan …

The Clock Is Ticking Friend, I’ll keep this short. Tomorrow is our End-of-Month fundraising deadline, and the stakes could not be higher. The Radical Left is already pouring money into this race because they know we have a real shot to FLIP Michigan RED and take back a critical…
