I’ve dedicated my life to protecting democracy & fighting for freedom. It’s why we stood up to Putin and why I spoke out against Trump.
My next mission: fighting for what’s right here at home. I’m running for #MI07 because it's time to put Michigan families first and fight back.

I’m a proud 3rd generation union member. Trump’s assault on public service unions has been a disgrace. I’m calling on
Rep. Tom Barrett to vote for Rep. Jared Golden’s Protect America's Workforce Act to restore collective bargaining rights to the million federal workers stripped of them.

America does not bow to dictators. We need to stand for freedom & democracy at home & abroad. We cannot be an America that is undermining our democracy, stripping people of health care & destabilizing our own economy. I'm running for Congress to hold Trump accountable.

I am absolutely honored to have @vetsforrl.bsky.social standing shoulder to shoulder with us in this fight for freedom and democracy. Our fundamental rights and values are on the line in the 2026 midterms. This team will flip MI07 because we must.
A message from VFRL President & Chairman: @bridgetbrink.com has built a career on service and moral courage. She resigned under Trump rather than support a foreign policy she knew was wrong, and she put her life on the line in Ukraine to stand with democracy. MI-07 deserves a leader like her.

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.
Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

Too many feel that the American Dream is out of reach while DC gives tax breaks to billionaires. I’m running for Congress so future generations of Michiganders have the same opportunities I had.
Grateful to have Brighton Library Board Trustee Devin Steele in this fight!

One week ago only four Republicans stuck their necks out to release the Epstein files.
Tom Barrett was not one of them.
One thing I can promise: I will always stand up for what is right - no matter what.

Honored to speak at MSU’s Center for European & Eurasian Studies last night on the importance of America leading with its values. As I told students & community members, we must have leaders who will stand up for what’s right — especially when it’s hard.

Great weekend in Livingston County! Stopped by the LivCo Dems training for Precinct Delegates and joined a workshop on "depolarizing" political conversations w/ Braver Angels & the League of Women Voters. Thanks to LivCo friends & neighbors for 2 great events!

Thank you to the Shiawassee County Dems for a fantastic night! It was wonderful to meet so many Dems and support the food drive for the Perry/Morrice/Shaftsburg Food Bank. In every corner of MI07, people are fired up to flip this seat & take back the House in 2026!

I'm running for Congress to lower costs, make health care affordable, and ensure Washington works for mid-Michigan families, not billionaires. I'm honored to have Elect Democratic Women's support & ready to deliver on day one!

Republicans are finally back in DC after 54 days off while mid-Michiganders faced higher healthcare costs and lost food benefits. I’m calling on Tom Barrett to stand up to GOP leaders and extend ACA tax credits. MI07 needs a leader who puts families first, not party orders.

This Veteran’s Day I'm thinking of my grandfather. He left his wife & newborn baby (my mom) here in Lansing to fight fascism in WW2.
Today & every day, thank you to all veterans who have served our country & sacrificed so much to defend our nation. We are eternally grateful. 🇺🇸

Grateful to spend time with Women's Center of Greater Lansing, and hear how federal cuts and the #BigUglyBill threaten healthcare and essential services to women in MI07. I'm inspired by their tireless work and more committed than ever to fight for opportunity for everyone in our community.

For me, health care is personal. We want the govt open, but this is a bad deal for MI07. DC Republicans slashed Medicaid & refused to extend ACA tax credits. Healthcare premiums are skyrocketing. It has to stop.
I'm proud both our Senators @peters.senate.gov & @elissaslotkin.bsky.social voted No.

Thanks to CD7 Dems, last night I heard heartbreaking stories of how Barrett’s votes hurt our community—firing public servants, closing nonprofits, and losing markets for our farmers. We need leaders in Congress who’ll stand up to Trump and fight for #MI07.

Fired up after an amazing night with the Blue Brigade in Lansing! Their energy fuels our fight to lower costs for mid-Michigan families, protect our hard-earned benefits, and defend our rights & freedoms. Thank you for a great night!

The big wins by @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social show clearly that women with national security experience win. I’m ready to build on our momentum, win MI07, and take back the House.

A new poll shows me beating Tom Barrett 45% to 41% with the highest vote percentage of any other Democratic candidate!
It's clear: we have momentum on our side & MI07 voters want a Representative who has a proven record of delivering results.

Funds are available to provide full nutritional benefits, but the Trump Admin is choosing not to spend it. Tens of thousands of our MI07 neighbors will receive half of their usual assistance.
This isn't about politics. This is about food & human decency.

1. USDA had a plan to protect food benefits
2. Trump ordered them NOT to use it
3. 63k+ of our neighbors in Greater Lansing will be w/o food benefits starting Saturday
I’m running for Congress to put the people of MI07 first.

Food need expected to grow if SNAP money ends for 63,000 Lansing area residents
Even before SNAP benefits paused, pantries within the Greater Lansing Food Banks network were seeing consistent increases in usage.

Great night yesterday speaking w/ the Michigan State University College Democrats about how a kid from Michigan became a 2x Ambassador & why I resigned to stand up to Trump’s wrong & unjust policies. These Spartans are our future & I’m running for Congress so they have the same opportunities I had.

Thank you Rep. Tsernoglou for putting on a fantastic event Monday evening! It was great to see so many friends & neighbors. It's clear: MI07 wants a Rep in Congress who will fight for lower prices, affordable healthcare, & our democracy.
