Today, I'm announcing that I am suspending my campaign for United States Senate. And I'm doing it with a deep, deep sense of gratitude. For our thousands of volunteers, for everyone who donated what you could — building a campaign with zero corporate PAC dollars. For my staff, who built this team up from nothing. I thank you. For my family. For Ray, who believed in me long before I ever believed in myself. And for Noa. Our five-year-old, who presses her hands up against the window to wave goodbye every morning when I leave for work. "Remember, Mom," she reminded me recently. "It's not about if you win. It's about trying hard and having fun." She's right. So I want to be very clear about what this announcement is not. I may be suspending this campaign, but I am not leaving the fight. I never planned on politics. After the 2016 election, I felt lost. I picked up my phone and typed five words into the search bar: "How to run for office." And here's what I learned: when regular people get in the fight, things can change. In my very first election, we flipped a district against the incumbent. Four years later — with so many of you — we flipped the Michigan Senate for the first time in nearly forty years. And we didn’t stop at winning. We repealed Michigan's abortion ban. We raised wages. We made sure every child gets breakfast and lunch at school. We made it easier to go to college. We expanded civil rights and voting rights. And so, so much more. These wins took thousands of us — showing up every single day, refusing to give up when there were setbacks. That's why I'm staying in this fight. And why I need you to stay in it with me. Now, I haven’t been shy about calling for new leadership and a better Democratic Party. I mean it. The energy is there. People are crying out for change. And we owe it to them to listen. Then we need to build it up, together, from the ground up. So here's what we do next. Every day through November 3rd. We win this Senate seat and send Mike Rogers back to Florida for good. Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support. Then, let’s elect Jocelyn Benson as our next Governor. Let’s flip the State House, and expand our majority in the State Senate. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ticket and show the rest of this country what it means to fight like Michigan. Ten years ago, I started this work heartbroken, typing five words into a search bar. And I learned the only thing that has ever really changed this country: ordinary people who love something enough to fight for it. I love this country. I love Michigan. And I love the little girl who waves at me from the window every morning, trusting the grown-ups to leave her a state and a country worth inheriting. That's who I'm fighting for. And I'm not going anywhere. I hope you'll join me.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

The President gave a wild speech, and unsurprisingly Michigan was a big part of it. Here's what he claimed, what actually happened, how he's trying to make it harder for you to vote, and what you can do about it. Most importantly - VOTE!

How do we fix Social Security? If we lifted the payroll tax cap to ensure everyone pays their fair share, Social Security would be solvent for decades. Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire, but he pays the same into social security that a teacher does. Pay your fair share.

.Chris Murphy 🟧 and I share a belief that we need a better Democratic Party. We have to break norms and be willing to fight for people. We can’t just hold fast to the institution when the opposition is tearing that institution down. And we absolutely have to deliver.

One billionaire from Florida bought BOTH Mackinac Island ferry companies and guess what? They’re raising prices, and threatening to cut off service completely if they can’t. We need to crack down on corporate greed, promote competition, and break up monopolies that put profits ahead of people. That way you’ve got a life you can afford.

You deserve a break on Sundays that doesn’t break the bank.

Gen Z is the first generation to be less cognitively capable than the one before them. A neuroscientist told Congress why: screens. I've helped pass legislation to get phones out of classrooms and I have a plan to hold Big Tech accountable. My guiding principle will always be putting our kids first.

The United States under President Trump forced the abrupt cancellation of a ribbon cutting ceremony and the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge. Meanwhile, a few months back, the Maroun family - who owns the competing Ambassador Bridge - donated a million dollars to a Trump super PAC. Trump has done enough damage eroding relationships with our allies, so I went on Canadian TV to send a message from Michiganders and Americans.

Every morning, when I head outside to go to work, I look back and see my 5-year-old daughter Noa. Everything I do, I do for her. And this week, we watched as the President of the United States hosted a UFC fight in front of the White House where the winning fighter spewed the vile lie that First Lady Michelle Obama is a man. This is not the country I want my daughter to grow up in. There is so much on the line. And it’s up to all of us to fight the right fight.

Too often, the debate on healthcare focuses only on insurance and how we pay for care. Yes, let’s fix that system. Let’s create a public option to ensure everyone has coverage and we drive costs down. But let’s shift the conversation to the underlying system and how we build one based on health outcomes, not just how we pay for a broken system.
