The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.
Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate.
Because we don't have a minute to wait.
We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.
This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.
We need new leaders in the Senate.
When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one.
No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.
It’s not “patriotic” to bail out Argentina while Americans are struggling, to build a ballroom while cutting SNAP benefits, or to pad your own pockets while claiming “affordability” is a hoax.
Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense.
They want things to work.
If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.
The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.
This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.
In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.
Wow. Just wow. We have already raised over $1m from over 12k people in support of this US Senate campaign. From all 83 counties in Michigan. From every state in the country.
Thank you for believing in me and what we can build together.
And we are just 👏 getting 👏 started 👏
We went to No Kings looking for paid protestors. What we found will shock you.
This admin is turning on the firehose hoping you’ll burn out and give up.
But you don’t have to do it all. Do one thing, take one step each day.
Put your phone down. Take a walk. Find the thing that moves you and focus.
If we all find our one thing, we’ll build something better—together.
This is why people hate Washington.
The President is bragging about his buddies' investments while people see their retirements go down the drain.
Nobody is coming to save us but us.
Yesterday I launched my campaign for U.S. Senate because we deserve – and we need – a new path.
If we want to be the party of the people, we need to be out there WITH the people. Full stop.
We need to:
✅ overturn Citizens United
✅ ban Congressional stock trading
✅ get dark money out of politics
To get corporate influence out of our politics and return it to the people.
The DeVos family is back at it and about to write some big, big checks to try to turn *everything* in Michigan red.
There's a lot more to this story – so I want to break it down 🧵
Maybe we need US Senators who aren’t actually rooting for you to die.
People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.
That’s why I’m running on:
- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$
Busy morning, huh? Thank you to everyone encouraging me to run for Senate. I'll have more to share soon.
We can organize everywhere.
We can flip red seats.
We can flip entire chambers.
And we can govern like we give a damn.
Let’s show the rest of the country how to fight like Michigan.
This is not the Republican Party of Reagan or Romney. This is the MAGA party.
We need Democratic leadership who understand that, and who are ready to fight back.
I had a strange moment in 2022. A colleague smeared me as a “groomer.” I gave a speech. It went viral.
But what my mom said stuck with me:
“This is great – but it doesn’t mean much unless it inspires people to do what you did.”
Gen Z is the first generation to be less cognitively capable than the one before them. A neuroscientist told Congress why: screens.
I helped pass legislation to get phones out of classrooms and I have a plan to hold Big Tech accountable. My guiding principle will always be putting our kids first.
Michiganders turned out EVERYWHERE to say loud and proud - there are No Kings in our country 🇺🇸
Not now. Not ever.
Today, I'm announcing that I am suspending my campaign for United States Senate.
