Always great to catch up with Rev. Al Sharpton—someone who’s spent a lifetime fighting for justice.
We talked about leading with courage, and building on the legacy of those who paved the way. Grateful for the wisdom—and ready to carry it forward here in Michigan.

This campaign isn’t funded by Wall Street or MAGA billionaires, it’s being built by Michigan educators, farmers, students, parents, and small business owners who believe in a brighter future for Michigan.
Thank you for being part of it. We’re just getting started.

I’ve been to all 83 counties—more than once. What I hear from Michiganders isn’t partisan. It’s personal. They want leaders who get it, who listen, and who will fight for their families. That’s the energy driving me every day.

Had a blast at the Ann Arbor Alphas Golf Tournament ⛳ A great day supporting scholarships for local students. A scholarship helped me pursue higher education right here in Michigan. It’s so important that we pay it forward and invest in the next generation.

The faces of Michigan Democrats are the faces of America. Honored to present the Dingell/Levin Award to Teola Hunter—her legacy reminds us that progress must be fought for. That’s why we #StandTALL for Michigan.

The DeVos family just dropped one of the biggest checks in Michigan history to help John James gut your health care.
They’re trying to buy our democracy—and take our rights with it.
We won’t let them. We’re going to #StandTALL and fight back.

We’ve never seen a moment like this. That's why Michigan needs bold, future-focused leadership that meets the moment with creativity, ambition, and the energy of all our people. I’m ready to #StandTALL and fight for our future.

Let’s call it what it is: the Republican plan—from Trump to John James—is for people to lose their Medicaid and die faster. That’s not leadership. It’s cruelty. We deserve better—and we’re going to #StandTALL against it.

I’ve been to all 83 counties in Michigan. Folks are frustrated—and Trump is preying on that with lies and empty promises. But his chaos is hurting real people. We have to raise our voices, hold him and his imitators accountable, and #StandTALL for real results.

Earlier today in Holland, I celebrated Michigan’s small business owners & innovators—the backbone of our growth economy. 🌷 We’re building a future where every entrepreneur, every worker, every idea can thrive. Let’s continue to #standTALL for Michigan.

Let’s say it like it is: Medicaid saves lives—and attacks from Donald Trump and John James will raise costs and put lives at risk. I’ll never stop working to make sure every Michigander gets the care they deserve. #StandTALL @seiuhcmi.bsky.social @protecthealthcare.medsky.social
