I’m fighting like hell to help candidates in Michigan and across the country win in the toughest places. In Michigan, we’ve shown that if you stay focused on the kitchen-table issues and getting stuff done, then you can compete anywhere and win. Join us: fightlikehellpac.org.

Michigan is proud to be home to nearly half a million veterans who have served our nation in uniform. Today, and every day, we honor your service, recognize your sacrifice, and recommit to making Michigan a place where you and your families receive the support you deserve. To every veteran and military family: thank you.

14 seats in Lansing flipped by Democrats. A Democratic trifecta secured. Now THAT is what I call a BFD.

On Tuesday, Michiganders elected 13 of our Fight Like Hell candidates to serve their communities in the State House and State Senate. 6 flipped seats held by Republicans, helping secure a Democratic trifecta in Lansing. At Fight Like Hell, they learned how to organize and win tough races. Now, they’re headed to Lansing to get stuff done for Michigan.

Once again, we’ve secured a Democratic trifecta here in Michigan that is ready to lower costs and get stuff done on day one. With this new trifecta, we can keep feeding our kids free meals, protecting Medicaid access, cutting taxes for seniors, investing in our schools, and fixing the damn roads. We can keep expanding on the progress we’ve made over the last eight years and keep moving our state forward. That’s what I call a B-F-D.

Tonight, Michiganders chose a tough, principled leader who will stay laser-focused on making life easier and getting stuff done. I’m thrilled that Governor-elect Benson will lead our state. Tonight, we also made history. For the first time in more than 60 years, Michigan elected back-to-back Democrats to the governor’s office. That means we can continue making historic progress for our families, our kids, and the state we’re lucky to call home. Congratulations to Governor-elect Jocelyn Benson. I look forward to seeing all the good work you will do.

Election Day is here, Michigan, and the stakes are too high to sit this one out. Families are paying more for everything: over $5 a gallon for gas, triple-digit grocery bills, and rising healthcare premiums. It’s all piling on. Meanwhile, Republicans in D.C. are doubling down on reckless tariffs and a costly war overseas, making life even harder and more expensive. If you’re sick of paying the price for this Republican agenda, today we have an opportunity to elect Democrats who will fight to lower costs, protect health care, strengthen our schools, defend our fundamental freedoms, and make life more affordable for working families. I’ve been working around the clock to elect Democrats who will get the job done. But we need everyone in this fight. So get out and VOTE. Today, let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot who will fight for YOU.

Michiganders deserve a senator who will protect their freedom to make their own health care decisions, not one who wants to put politicians between a woman and her doctor. Given the chance, Mike Rogers would vote to put women’s lives in danger.
🚨 BREAKING: Mike Rogers confirmed in a new interview that he would vote for a national abortion ban: "I've been very open about that time I was in Congress, having a 100% pro-life rating... This is the only way that I know how to be when I go back to the United States Senate."

‼️ REMINDER: Vote NO on Prop 1. In 2022, Michiganders voted to protect reproductive freedom and expand voting rights in Michigan’s constitution. Don’t let special interests undo our progress. Vote NO on Prop 1.

TOMORROW, is Election Day, Michigan! I’m running through the tape, traveling across the state to help send Democrats like Matt Koleszar and Lisa McIntyre to Lansing. Let’s finish strong, turn out our neighbors, and elect a team that will lower costs and deliver for Michigan families. Get out and vote! @mcintyreformich @MattforMichigan
