Newton is having a ruff Monday! But he reminded our team to ask for a campaign contribution before the end of the year. You can donate at ufford4michigan.com. Hope your new week is filled with treats!

If you want to do a job the right way, you make a plan and then follow that plan. This Administration has no plan to lower costs or create good-paying jobs. They're playing it fast and loose with people's livelihoods. We can do better.

Everyday Michiganders are looking for new leaders and new ideas. That's why I'm running.
I'm an outsider. My experience is in building things in our auto industry, serving in the federal government, and raising a family here.

I’m proud to be the only candidate in this race to take the @StopBigMoney pledge to Unrig Washington. It's time to ban Congressional stock trading, call for all candidates to refuse corporate PAC money, and crack down on dark money in our elections. #ecuunrigwashington

Our healthcare experience is like that of so many other Michiganders. When Rebecca needed a major procedure, we were lucky that we had insurance. And because the Affordable Care Act protects pre-existing conditions, we were able to rely on it for her recovery.

Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving!
I'm so thankful for those who keep us safe, for our community in Michigan, and for everyone working to build this campaign from the ground up.

Small businesses are critical to our mission of building more of the things we need here in Michigan.
I know what it's like to build things in the private sector. And in Congress, I'll ensure our small business leaders have the resources they need to succeed.

Let's just be clear about it. Costs are out of control, and everyone knows it.
I'm not a politician. I'm an engineer, a builder, and a dad. I know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck, and I also know what it takes to build things so that we can lower costs.

We must protect the right to free speech: to disagree with our government, to assemble peacefully, and to advocate for a better future.
That right to speak out is core to who we are as Americans and shouldn't be controversial.

President Trump says American workers aren't good enough. I say, he needs to come see our workers here in Michigan.
We can build amazing things here at home, and in order to do that, we need leaders who are on the side of working people.
That's why I'm running for Congress.

Governor Whitmer has it right. These tariffs are making life completely unaffordable and decimating our auto industry. At the end of the day, these chaotic tariffs are a tax on Michigan families. We can do better.

We need to do more to create good jobs that allow people to buy a home, raise a family, and live that Michigan Dream.

This election is a healthcare election. When Rebecca needed a heart transplant, we counted on the Affordable Care Act for her recovery.

When I worked in the Made in America Office, we worked with the state of Michigan to secure $50 million to train workers in Michigan on jobs of the future. That money went towards community colleges and K-12 programs that set people up for a good career.

We're almost a month into this government shutdown. On November 1st, over a million Michiganders will be at risk of going hungry because their SNAP benefits are on pause. Michiganders deserve better.
If you're able to, let's help out our neighbors by donating to local food banks.

I've been clear from the beginning: If we want to build things in Michigan, we need to protect our supply chains, support workers, and invest in our infrastructure.

I had an amazing time showing up for our democracy at No Kings Day today in Ferndale. It was amazing to meet with folks from all across Oakland County who know what's on the line in this next election, and are ready to do something about it.
