Why I'm running for Congress

I am rerunning for Congress in the 2024 election to represent Northern Michigan and the UP to do my part in empowering and educating voters — showing them that we all deserve a better path forward.

We need to court hardworking, rural citizens, including a plurality of voters who may have supported Republicans in the district since 2011, and speak to them so that our voices are heard.

We dream of and fight for a future of fairness, equality, empathy, and compassion.

I will lead Congress in the fight for a publicly funded national health insurance program that fully covers medical care costs for all US citizens.

We will address our failing healthcare system and make mental healthcare investments.

We will invest in workers, families, and infrastructure. We will advocate for livable wages and support small businesses and organized labor.

We will improve the training and education of all Americans. And we must have a national energy plan to transition to green, sustainable energy sources.

We must save Social Security, advocate for affordable housing, public transportation, agriculture and farming, domestic manufacturing, protect our environment, and more.

I am running again for my grandchildren to live in a better future, for the hardworking families of America's rural heartland, for us, for you.

Join me.
