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.

The Affordable Care Act tax credits Tom Barrett calls "disastrous" enable tens of thousands in our community to afford health care.
What does he have to say to constituents like Diane in Okemos, a fellow breast cancer survivor, whose premiums have now doubled without them?

A masked federal agent killing an unarmed woman is outrageous and devastating.
Renee Good and her family deserve justice and accountability with a full and fair investigation.
We need leaders who stand up for what’s right and hold the Trump Admin accountable - I always will.

Tonight Tom Barrett shamefully tried to block a bipartisan vote to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for Michigan families. By voting to end the Affordable Care Act tax credits, he will cost tens of thousands of Michiganders their coverage & raise costs for everyone.

I’ve been called “too intensely focused on the issue of corruption.”
To me, that’s a badge of honor.
With Trump’s chaos & corruption costing Michiganders, we need to fight like hell to reform Washington & restore faith in government.

We need to stop the flow of drugs into our communities. But it's clear that wasn’t the reason President Trump sent American troops into Venezuela.
If it were, Trump would not have pardoned the former Honduran President who was tried & convicted of drug-smuggling.

Today marks 5 years since January 6, 2021. Over 28 years serving 5 Presidents as a member of the U.S. Foreign Service, I’ve seen what happens when leaders do not respect the values that underpin democracy— and I will always stand strong for ours.

First Tom Barrett & DC Republicans forced through Trump's Big Ugly Bill, slashing Medicaid coverage.
Now they have officially let the ACA tax credits expire, causing insurance premiums to skyrocket.
Enough is enough. For me, the fight for affordable health care is personal.

A must read. While we face an affordability crisis, our country faces an unprecedented attack on the values that made us the strongest nation on earth.
The stakes couldn't be higher: we must flip the House next year. And it will take all of us to do it.

Is it any surprise Trump is taking Putin at his word? He's following Putin's playbook:
- amassing personal wealth
- targeting political opponents
- cracking down on the media

Having lived under Putin’s missiles & drones, it’s impossible to understand how Trump falls for this.
There is one aggressor, Russia, which started the biggest & deadliest war in Europe since WWII.
To end the war, the U.S. needs to do one thing: turn up the pressure on Russia.
