Michigan needs bold leaders who are ready to get stuff done. That’s why I’m proud of the work Fight Like Hell PAC is doing to train the next generation of Democratic candidates and campaign staff. Read about our Ypsilanti training here:

We’re getting to work here in Michigan. This month in Ypsilanti, we hosted one of our Fight Like Hell PAC candidate trainings where over 100 future Democratic leaders came together to learn the tools they need to compete and win. Donate here to help fuel our work:

There’s a lot of economic uncertainty coming from Washington, but Michigan is taking action. This week, we ended taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security because Michiganders deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money.

Conversion therapy is a horrific practice. Here in Michigan, we came together to ban conversion therapy because everyone deserves to be who they are and love who they love. That's non-negotiable.

The Supreme Court's conservative majority seemed sympathetic to a therapist's claim that a ban on 'conversion therapy' infringes on her free speech.

Amid so much national economic uncertainty, I’m proud that Michigan’s bipartisan budget is going to put more money back in your pocket. ✅ Tax refund of $3,000 for 700,000 families ✅ No taxes on tips, overtime or Social Security ✅ Medicaid protection for over 2 million

We’ve got a budget Michigan! This balanced, bipartisan budget makes the biggest investment in state and local roads in Michigan history. We’re making sure every penny you pay at the pump goes to fixing the damn roads. I’m proud we came together to get this done, and I look

Yesterday, I delivered a big speech about the harm current tariffs are doing to Michigan. I discussed the partnership between Michigan and Canada, one of our closest allies and trading partners, supplying so much of what Americans use every day. Tariffs don’t just hurt

School meals are a win for everybody. Our students get to focus on learning instead of being hungry, and parents save valuable time and money. Let’s make sure we keep feeding our kids and supporting our parents.

By the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired, or replaced nearly 24,500 lane miles of roads and 1,900 bridges. But our work is far from over. Let’s keep building on that momentum and pass a bipartisan, long-term local road funding plan so we can keep

Businesses need certainty to make investments and plan for the future and because of tariffs they don’t have it. The stakes are too damn high. We need to make it easier—not harder—to make stuff here in Michigan and across the country.

Here’s the bottom line. We all want to bring good-paying, middle-class manufacturing jobs back to Michigan. But the current tariff policies are making it harder for us to achieve that goal. That’s why I’ll keep doing everything I can to call for commonsense trade policies that

Take it from Scott, getting a roads deal in the budget will save thousands of good-paying jobs, keep businesses investing in Michigan, and fix a decades-long problem.

Tariffs are making it more expensive for students and teachers to get the school supplies they need. Kids shouldn’t be paying the price for bad trade policy—that’s why I’m working nonstop to fight cost hikes and protect Michigan families.

Michigan is moving fast: 75,000 new homes built one year ahead of schedule. Next stop: 115,000. We can do hard things here in Michigan—and we’re just getting started.

While other states go backwards to undermine reproductive freedom, Michigan will continue to be a place where women can get the health care they need. We will keep fighting like hell to protect your right to make your own decisions about your own body.

Don’t just take it from me, without a long-term roads deal we risk losing thousands of good-paying jobs and critical investment into our state. The time for the legislature to act is now. Let’s get this done and show Michiganders that we have their backs.

Prices are just too damn high right now. I get it. Tariffs and cuts to health care coming out of Washington are only going to make life more expensive. But we can do something about it. Let’s hold Washington Republicans accountable. https://t.co/bwd1u98CFk
