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. #MI01 #activedutymilitary #activedutylife #service #thankyou #usmilitary

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, from my family to yours 🦃❤️ No matter which side of the table you sit on, everyone can support more dessert. 🥧 #happyholidays #HappyThanksgiving2025 #callieforcongress #MI01

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. #MI01 #Callieforcongress

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. #Turkeytrot #communityevents #MI01 #callieforcongress

We just survived the longest government shutdown in history and the holidays are right around the corner. Here are some resources throughout Upper and Northern Michigan that may help families prepare. Please tag or share to help spread the word. #MI01 #LIFE

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. #MI01

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. Read more about my plan for an affordable LIFE at www.callieforcongress.com #MI01 #LIFE

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. #MI01 #Callieforcongress #supportsmallbusinesses #happyholidays #AffordableLIFE #LIFE #Income

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 #MI01 #AffordableLocalhousing #LIFE #Callieforcongress

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. #MI01 #LIFE

Thank you, Cheboygan, for having me! It was great to meet with those who came out to hear what we are all about as we fight for an affordable life. I'm grateful for your support. Let's do this! #MI01 #callieforcongress #CheboyganMi #CheboyganMichigan #Democracy

Thank you to everyone who came out to the St. Ignace meet-and-greet! I’m so grateful for your support and for every conversation we shared. I’m here to listen, to learn, and to fight for the issues that matter most to our community. #MI01 #callieforcongress #stignacemichigan #democracy

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? #MI01 #Callieforcongress #UpperMI #PureMichigan #Michigantourism #MichiganTech

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. #MI01 #Callieforcongress #VAdisability

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. #MI01

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? #MI01 #wheresjackbergman #WeDeserveBetter #northernmichigan #uppermichigan #callieforcongress #EnoughIsEnough

On World Diabetes Day, we honor the strength of millions while demanding a future where lifesaving care is affordable for every American. We can do better! #MI01 #WorldDiabetesDay #AffordableHealthcare #uppermichigan #northernmichigan #MichiganHealthcare

Throwback Thursday to when I was fortunate to meet Rosalynn Carter. Mrs. Carter worked tirelessly to create what she described as “a more caring society.” If you could have a meet and greet with anyone, who would it be? Tell me in the comments. #MI01 #Throwbackthursday #callieforcongress
