Union Fire Captain │ Father │ Independent for WI-06
Mequon, WI
Joined January 2026
Wisconsin is on fire. Wages are too low, costs are too high, and politicians in Washington are watching us burn while billionaires win. I’m Mike Thurow, a trained firefighter running for WI-06, because when there’s a fire, you don’t pick who to save. You show up & do the work.

I am honored to have the endorsement of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin. My brave brothers and sisters demonstrate everyday what it means to serve their communities with no distinction between party lines, wealthy connections, or lobbying influence.

This has to be made illegal. At this point DC insiders are quite literally flaunting their corruption in our faces. While our gas and grocery bills go up they make a killing on illegal wars.
BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than

Break up the big 3. 2/3 of the major fire apparatus production corporations are based right here in Wisconsin. They’ve caused prices to rise over 200% and caused 2-3 year wait times for new fire engines. It’s a waste of tax payer $ and an endangerment to our communities.

The most preventable outcome imaginable. I grieve for these soldiers and their families. Our brave men and women, and thousands of innocent Iranian civilians have been killed not for us, but for Raytheon, Northrop Group, and Miriam Adleson. #americafirst

Welcome back to the coffee clutch. Today I am answering a question out of Fond Du Lac, asking why I support marijuana legalization. Send in your questions and I will answer them throughout this series! #wisconsin #marijuana #coffeeclutch #election

Based upon public pressure I have decided to change my answer to squirtle as it is more in line with my work as a fire fighter.

Congress’s failure to uphold the constitution and pass the war powers act is cowardly and gives the president carte blanche in his war on Iran. We should be spending our tax $ to strengthen our schools, not blowing up girls schools in Iran.

that ICE training was cut by 240 hours. He testified that “the constitution, our legal system, fire arms training, and legal use of force” have all been cut from training. This is unacceptable and ICE funding should continue to be withheld until there is real reform. #KristiNoem

Kristi Noem has been removed as the head of DHS. I said weeks ago she should be removed from her post, and this is a move in the right direction. But, this is only the first step. Ryan Schwank testified in front of Congress last week.

This is peak stupidity from Jeffries. It was wrong to bomb Libya without Congressional approval, and it’s wrong to bomb Iran without Congressional approval. And that’s just on a procedural level. The economic and moral questions can’t even be asked because leadership like Hakeem
NEW: I asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about Nancy Pelosi saying in 2011 that President Obama didn't need Congressional approval to bomb Libya, but Dems now say President Trump needs approval to bomb Iran? Jeffries said Iran is "very different" & told me "I

Thanks to everyone who came out for our first town hall last night! It was great to hear from members of the district and see the ground swell of support for a new kind of leadership in Wisconsin.

War with Iran is a mistake. Congress must vote on the war powers act and refuse to sanction the actions of the president. We cannot allow American boots to hit the ground in Iran, and every escalation leads us closer to that.

This was and still is the correct take. It’s the same reason we should not go to war with Iran, it will cost tax payers trillions of dollars and thousands if not hundreds of thousands of lives.

The corporate uniparty, folks. Playing political games with our citizens lives and tax dollars.
NEW: Top Democrats are working behind the scenes to stop a vote on the Khanna-Massie Iran war powers resolution – a vote that would force every member of Congress to go on the record over Trump’s potential regime change war.

No matter what you call them, the deep state, the swamp, or the Epstein class, the point remains the same. Our politicians are all bought and paid for by wealthy donors who want to send our sons and daughters to fight a war that has no benefit to us.
If you suspect Democrats' silence on Iran isn't an accident, you are correct. A foreign policy aide to Chuck Schumer privately explained last year that many Democrats *want* a US war with Iran, but don't want the ensuing political fallout - so they prefer letting Trump do it:
