Our prayers are with the family of James Brasher. This tragic and avoidable event underscores the continued need for stronger workplace health and safety protections and for government enforcement of those safeguards.
While corporate executives are cashing their bonuses, working families are left struggling to pay their bills, falling behind economically, and sometimes even burying their loved ones. As a Labor Democrat, I won't stand by while cost-cutting and negligent management endangers workers. I'll fight for enforcement and accountability that always puts people before profits.
ICYMI: I'm proud to be endorsed by the Michigan Education Association.
As the son of a public school teacher who carried both MEA and AFT cards, I learned early on that public education and the labor movement are the most powerful forces for building a strong middle class. That's why I got in this fight. It's why I served on a school board and became a union-side labor lawyer, and it's why I'm running for Congress.
The MEA has been at the center of that fight every step of the way—fighting for our kids, our teachers, and our communities. Proud to stand with them.
I am proud to be THE labor candidate in this race. As a third-generation union member, I'm running for Congress because working people in this state are being sold out by billionaires in D.C., and everyday folks deserve a fighter for them. That's why 23 labor unions have endorsed this campaign—they know when I get to Washington, I'll fight to protect Social Security and Medicare, to lower the cost of living, and to build an economy that works for workers, not billionaires.

Thank you to everyone who joined our door-to-door canvasses this weekend! Your support is what powers us forward. Together, we're going to win and flip #MI10! 🚪🗳️
Great connecting with voters in Sterling Heights last night!
People are fired up about the things that matter most— fixing our broken health care system, tackling rising costs, and standing up to Trump's chaos. They're ready for leadership that actually delivers for working families, and every conversation makes it clearer: we're ready to flip the 10th Congressional District.
Following the 250th birthday of America, I'm feeling patriotic.
Nothing says patriotism like showing up at the polls. I’m a third generation union member. Growing up in a union household taught me this: when working people organize and show up, we win.
I’m running for Congress for a simple reason: because our working families are being squeezed like never before, and they deserve to be represented by a proven fighter who will actually deliver for them.
I've always stood up to bullies. As a labor lawyer, I beat them in court, and as Michigan's House Democratic Leader, I worked with Gretchen Whitmer to expand healthcare for 700,000 Michiganders.
I'm running because our working families need a fighter in Congress—someone who will fight to end senseless wars and stop politicians from cutting Medicaid to fund ballrooms and pass tax breaks for the wealthy. And yes, I'll take on Donald Trump and his MAGA extremist allies because I still stand up to bullies.
Proud to have the Utility Workers Union of America standing with us in this fight. I don't just talk about supporting labor—I've walked the walk as a union-side attorney and former union member. Together, we're flipping this district and delivering for working families.
Happy Independence Day! Wishing everyone a safe and fun Fourth of July. 🇺🇸
As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we honor the ideals of hope, liberty, and justice that have defined our nation since 1776.
🚨Endorsement Alert: As a union-side labor lawyer, former UFCW member, and former AFSCME member, I will ALWAYS fight for our union members. Honored to have @MIAFLCIO in this fight with us as we work to flip this district and deliver REAL results for working families.
Incredible turnout at this weekend's All of Us 250 rally. The best way to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday is to ensure that our democracy, freedoms, and Constitutional rights survive for another 250 years!
Happy Pride Month! It was great attending Pride in the Park this weekend. I'm proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ neighbors to ensure everyone feels safe, welcome, and included in our district. Everyone deserves to live authentically and be treated with dignity and respect.
I had a wonderful time at the AFSCME retiree picnic this weekend with the union members who built Michigan's middle class. As a former member of AFSCME, I've seen firsthand the grit and commitment public service workers bring to our communities.
I'm running for Congress to fight like hell to preserve the Social Security and Medicare you've earned and to take on the billionaires who've been selling out working families for decades.
In the State House, I was proud to work with Gretchen Whitmer, stand up to Republicans, deliver healthcare for 700,000 Michiganders, and raise the minimum wage. In Congress, you can trust me to take on Donald Trump and his divisive agenda, advocate for good-paying jobs here at home, and reduce costs for our working families.
