Trump's recall of dozens of career U.S. Ambassadors is senseless and threatens our national security. As Gen. Mattis once said: if you don’t support strong diplomacy, our military will "need to buy more ammunition." U.S. soft power prevents conflict. apnews.com/article/dipl...

Appalled to hear about the antisemitic hate crime at the MSU Chabad Jewish Center - especially during the holiday of Hanukkah, which represents light in the face of darkness. There is absolutely no place for hate in our community. www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/l...

Excited to receive the endorsement of Leslie Township Supervisor Dallas Henney! I look forward to working with him to bring people together to solve our toughest problems: lower costs, affordable health care, and protect our democracy & the rule of law.

The Trump family has amassed a $4 billion fortune since his re-election. During my time as Ambassador, I was accused of "focusing too intensely on the issue of corruption." There's no such thing. We need leaders who serve the people — not themselves. www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

Ingham County Commissioner Mark Polsdofer is a tireless advocate for our county. I'm honored to have his endorsement & look forward to working with him to lower costs & build an economy that works for everyone!

22 million Americans — tens of thousands in MI07 — rely on the ACA to afford health insurance. ACA tax credits expire in 2 weeks. Prices are skyrocketing & many can’t afford it. Tom Barrett is refusing to join bipartisan efforts to extend them. Our district deserves better.

As an Ingham County Commissioner & former Lansing School Board President, Gabrielle Lawrence does so much for our community. Honored to have her endorsement & look forward to working with her to support our public schools, lower costs & deliver for our neighbors!

Trump's "A+++++" economy: the ultra-rich get tax breaks, the rest of us face rising prices, health care cuts, higher unemployment. We need an economy that works for the many, not just the few. That's why I'm running to flip my home district of MI07. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Honored to receive the endorsement of my friend, neighbor, and At-Large Lansing City Councilman @peterspadafore.com . A former Lansing School Board President, he is a true champion for public schools and our entire city!

The Trump Admin is cutting 35k jobs from the VA. Mostly health care positions — amidst a health care affordability crisis. Our veterans have sacrificed so much to protect our nation. They deserve the highest level of care. We must do better. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Excited to join an amazing group of Leadership Now endorsed Democratic candidates & Members of Congress across the nation & right here in Michigan w/ strong records "of leadership, protecting democracy, and delivering results for the American people." leadershipnowpac.org/candidates

As a public service union member, I'm thrilled the House passed the Protecting America's Workforce Act to restore collective bargaining for federal workers. It's a shame that Rep. Tom Barrett sided w/ Trump over 1 million hardworking public servants who serve our nation every day.

As Tom Barrett's votes kick 25,000 mid-Michiganders off health care, state Republicans just cut $645 million in funding — including $18M in prenatal care & infant support programs. As a mom, this is unfathomable — we deserve better. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Honored to receive @fp4america.bsky.social's endorsement & join its work to strengthen principled U.S. leadership. I’m running for Congress to fight for an economy that works for everyone, bring battle-tested leadership to DC, and to deliver for mid-Michiganders.

Thrilled to be endorsed by @emilyslist.bsky.social, a powerful force in electing pro-choice women who get things done! Tom Barrett has shown that he serves the interests of Trump, not the needs of MI07. I’m running for Congress to fight & deliver for our community, no matter what.

I've had a job since I was 15 & worked my way through college w/ grants & loans. I know what it's like to have to work hard to make ends meet. Mid-Michigan needs a Rep. in Congress who will fight tooth & nail to make life more affordable for working families. More on Michigan's Big Show:

Honored to have the endorsement of Rep Lois Frankel. Throughout her storied career, Rep Frankel has been a champion for working families, seniors, and veterans. I'm so proud to have her support as we fight for lower costs, affordable health care, and our basic rights & freedoms.

Like many Michiganders, some of my favorite childhood memories were on our incredible lakes. I want the same for future generations of Michiganders. That's why I'm committed to increasing funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative & banning toxic PFAS chemicals.

A national security strategy based on profit will never make America great. We are great because of the values that founded our country - freedom, democracy, rule of law - and for which millions of American patriots have fought and died. 1/3 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/u...

Mid-Michigan farmers feed our state, country, and the world. Trump's tariffs have slashed exports of MI grain by 89%, soybeans by 46%. All while he sends $20B to bail out Argentina. I’ll always fight for mid-Michigan farms — not Argentina bailouts. www.wgvunews.org/news/2025-12...

Congress has just 30 days to extend ACA tax credits before they expire on Jan 1. Thousands in mid-Michigan will suffer. @tombarrettmi7: protect our working families — sign the discharge petition TODAY for a 3-year extension.

Thrilled to receive the endorsement of Eaton County Commissioner Brandon Haskell! I look forward to working with him to tackle the affordability crisis, fund public schools, and make life better in Eaton County & across our District.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from the Lansing Turkey Trot!

From my 28-year career serving our country at home & abroad, I know America is strongest when we lead with our values. I am proud to have the endorsement of the Alliance for American Leadership in our race to flip MI07 & deliver results for mid-Michigan.

I've led negotiations with Russia, and nothing I'm hearing shows the Russians are serious about ending the war. But the U.S. side must articulate our positions and advance our interests - and that's not happening. Peace at any price isn't peace. It's appeasement. More on @npr.org:

I’m a proud 3rd generation union member. Trump’s assault on public service unions has been a disgrace. I’m calling on Rep. Tom Barrett to vote for Rep. Jared Golden’s Protect America's Workforce Act to restore collective bargaining rights to the million federal workers stripped of them.

America does not bow to dictators. We need to stand for freedom & democracy at home & abroad. We cannot be an America that is undermining our democracy, stripping people of health care & destabilizing our own economy. I'm running for Congress to hold Trump accountable.

I am absolutely honored to have @vetsforrl.bsky.social standing shoulder to shoulder with us in this fight for freedom and democracy. Our fundamental rights and values are on the line in the 2026 midterms. This team will flip MI07 because we must.

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are. Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

Too many feel that the American Dream is out of reach while DC gives tax breaks to billionaires. I’m running for Congress so future generations of Michiganders have the same opportunities I had. Grateful to have Brighton Library Board Trustee Devin Steele in this fight!

One week ago only four Republicans stuck their necks out to release the Epstein files. Tom Barrett was not one of them. One thing I can promise: I will always stand up for what is right - no matter what.

Honored to speak at MSU’s Center for European & Eurasian Studies last night on the importance of America leading with its values. As I told students & community members, we must have leaders who will stand up for what’s right — especially when it’s hard.

Great weekend in Livingston County! Stopped by the LivCo Dems training for Precinct Delegates and joined a workshop on "depolarizing" political conversations w/ Braver Angels & the League of Women Voters. Thanks to LivCo friends & neighbors for 2 great events!

Thank you to the Shiawassee County Dems for a fantastic night! It was wonderful to meet so many Dems and support the food drive for the Perry/Morrice/Shaftsburg Food Bank. In every corner of MI07, people are fired up to flip this seat & take back the House in 2026!

I'm running for Congress to lower costs, make health care affordable, and ensure Washington works for mid-Michigan families, not billionaires. I'm honored to have Elect Democratic Women's support & ready to deliver on day one!

Incredible evening last night speaking at @michiganstateu.bsky.social's James Madison College about the U.S. effort to stop Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and lessons learned from my 28-year career serving our country. These JMC'ers are the future!

Republicans are finally back in DC after 54 days off while mid-Michiganders faced higher healthcare costs and lost food benefits. I’m calling on Tom Barrett to stand up to GOP leaders and extend ACA tax credits. MI07 needs a leader who puts families first, not party orders.

This Veteran’s Day I'm thinking of my grandfather. He left his wife & newborn baby (my mom) here in Lansing to fight fascism in WW2. Today & every day, thank you to all veterans who have served our country & sacrificed so much to defend our nation. We are eternally grateful. 🇺🇸

Grateful to spend time with Women's Center of Greater Lansing, and hear how federal cuts and the #BigUglyBill threaten healthcare and essential services to women in MI07. I'm inspired by their tireless work and more committed than ever to fight for opportunity for everyone in our community.

For me, health care is personal. We want the govt open, but this is a bad deal for MI07. DC Republicans slashed Medicaid & refused to extend ACA tax credits. Healthcare premiums are skyrocketing. It has to stop. I'm proud both our Senators @peters.senate.gov & @elissaslotkin.bsky.social voted No.

Thanks to CD7 Dems, last night I heard heartbreaking stories of how Barrett’s votes hurt our community—firing public servants, closing nonprofits, and losing markets for our farmers. We need leaders in Congress who’ll stand up to Trump and fight for #MI07.

Fired up after an amazing night with the Blue Brigade in Lansing! Their energy fuels our fight to lower costs for mid-Michigan families, protect our hard-earned benefits, and defend our rights & freedoms. Thank you for a great night!

The big wins by @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social show clearly that women with national security experience win. I’m ready to build on our momentum, win MI07, and take back the House.

Huge congratulations to Mayor Andy and our new City Council members here in Lansing!

A new poll shows me beating Tom Barrett 45% to 41% with the highest vote percentage of any other Democratic candidate! It's clear: we have momentum on our side & MI07 voters want a Representative who has a proven record of delivering results.

From fighting for freedom abroad to fighting for families in mid-Michigan — leadership means stepping up when lives are on the line. That’s why I’m running for Congress in #MI07. Thanks to MSU alum Amanda Sloat and Nathalie Tocci.

Funds are available to provide full nutritional benefits, but the Trump Admin is choosing not to spend it. Tens of thousands of our MI07 neighbors will receive half of their usual assistance. This isn't about politics. This is about food & human decency. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/03/p...

1. USDA had a plan to protect food benefits 2. Trump ordered them NOT to use it 3. 63k+ of our neighbors in Greater Lansing will be w/o food benefits starting Saturday I’m running for Congress to put the people of MI07 first. www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/l...

Great night yesterday speaking w/ the Michigan State University College Democrats about how a kid from Michigan became a 2x Ambassador & why I resigned to stand up to Trump’s wrong & unjust policies. These Spartans are our future & I’m running for Congress so they have the same opportunities I had.

Thank you Rep. Tsernoglou for putting on a fantastic event Monday evening! It was great to see so many friends & neighbors. It's clear: MI07 wants a Rep in Congress who will fight for lower prices, affordable healthcare, & our democracy.
