Featured Campaign
Candidate for MI, 7th Congressional District
I’m running for Congress because I believe government should belong to the people who live here, not the corporations and political insiders who bankroll campaigns and disappear after Election Day. In Mid-Michigan, we work hard, take care of our neighbors, and show up for each other. We deserve representation that does the same.
I’ve spent my life in this community listening to people who feel left behind by both parties. Families worried about rising costs. Seniors choosing between prescriptions and groceries. Young people who want to stay here but don’t see opportunity. I’m not running to be a career politician. I’m running because too many of our neighbors feel unheard, and that has to change.

The Democratic National Committee’s Local Listeners program is built around a simple idea: Democrats are stronger when they listen first. The program trains volunteers and organizers to have real, relationship-based conversations—especially in communities that often feel ignored—so local concerns, not assumptions, shape messaging and outreach. Instead of leading with talking points, Local Listeners creates a feedback loop that helps campaigns stay grounded in what voters actually care about.
Recent policy changes could allow private equity firms greater access to retirement accounts, raising concerns about higher fees, increased risk, and reduced transparency for everyday savers. Retirement funds are meant to provide long-term security — not expose workers to complex, high-risk investments they may not fully understand. This petition urges federal regulators and lawmakers to protect retirement accounts by limiting private equity involvement and ensuring strong safeguards for workers’ savings.
World leaders have made repeated climate commitments, but progress remains uneven as emissions continue to rise and deadlines slip. Without stronger follow-through, the gap between promises and action will keep growing. This petition calls on global leaders to meet their existing climate commitments, strengthen targets where needed, and take measurable steps to reduce emissions and protect vulnerable communities.
