I’m Callie Barr. I’m running for Congress because MI-01 deserves a representative who shows up and listens, someone rooted here, who works hard and puts people first. Let’s have real conversations to plan for a future we can actually afford.

Many families will have an empty chair at the table this Thanksgiving — a loved one serving far from home. To all our service members and their families: thank you for your sacrifice. We’re thinking of you.

As we head into Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for my family and for the strength, resilience, and kindness of the people of Upper and Northern Michigan. From our veterans to our small-business owners, to every family gathering around a table this week — thank you for being the heart of our community.

Thank you to every essential worker spending this holiday serving others instead of being home with loved ones.
You deserve more than appreciation. You deserve fair pay, safe conditions, and an economy that works for you.

That's why I'm fighting for an Affordable LIFE. #MI01 #LIFE

Northern Michigan is where I call home, so it's hard to pick only a few of the places and events that I enjoy (because there are a lot), but here are a few that every Michigander should experience.

From Marquette to Iron Mountain, Sault Ste. Marie, Gladstone, Escanaba, and Mackinac Island, communities across the U.P. are kicking off Thanksgiving with Turkey Trots that raise money, food, and awareness for local causes.

Essential Care means protecting rural hospitals, lowering drug prices, reforming insurance, and ensuring veterans get the benefits they’ve earned. MI-01 deserves better.

Visit www.callieforcongress.com and see how we can improve Essential Care in Michigan's 1st Congressional District.

As a mom, I see the impact of rising costs and unhealthy additives. It’s time to support our farmers, expand mobile markets, end harmful tariffs, remove harmful chemicals from our food, and reverse SNAP cuts.

Our small businesses are the backbone of our rural communities. This holiday season let’s lift up the shop owners, and family-run businesses that make Northern and Upper Michigan feel like home.

When lawmakers work together for us (not politics) our communities thrive. I'm fighting for an Affordable LIFE for Michiganders, because you matter.

Join me in supporting affordable housing for our communities at www.callieforcongress.com

We're living through extreme inequality as billionaires shape laws for the wealthy, not working families.
A fair shot at LIFE means Local Housing, Income, Food & Essential Care. Too many are being left behind.
It’s time to fight for Affordable Life and a government that works for us.

Upper Michigan has it all - strong communities, SISU, beautiful environment - it's hard to pick my favorite spots (here are a few).

For all Yoopers and Trolls, what makes Michigan feel like home to you?

Why major VSOs oppose the Veterans CHOICE Act: It imposes fees on veterans seeking disability benefits (a service which is currently provided for free and is legally protected under federal law) and shifts critical services to private contractors.

The government shutdown was incredibly hard on families across Upper and Northern Michigan, especially our veterans who rely on consistent pay, services, and support. If you or a veteran you know was affected, here are some trusted resources that can help in the state of Michigan.

Our district just went through the longest government shutdown in history. Families were stressed, workers went without pay, and our representative never showed up. Where was Jack Bergman?
