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 We repealed Michigan's abortion ban.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.

Our country’s future runs through Michigan. So I am relaunching my state PAC, A More Perfect Michigan, to help write that future. We’ll back Democratic candidates in 16 races that will decide control of the Michigan Legislature - growing our majority in the state senate and flipping the state house. And it’s not just $$. I’m hitting the road across the state to support these amazing candidates. I promised I wasn’t leaving the fight. This is where we take the fight next and I need you with me. Donate:

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

.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.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

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.

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.

We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

Democrats - it’s time to lock in. We’re a big tent party right now. We might have different ideas on how to get there but we ALL agree on where we’re going. The other side? Under Trump, MAGA believes if you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you deserve more. The rest of us be damned. I know what side I’m on. Find a candidate that you like or find the Michigan ONE campaign. Sign up for a door-knocking shift. Let’s go win.

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.

Normally I wouldn’t preemptively post a response to the response to the State of the Union, but after reading Sarah Huckabee-Sanders’ remarks on Republicans in a “culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight”…ma’am this was nearly a *year* ago

Just last week, John James introduced Donald Trump as the three time winner of Michigan. That's disqualifying. Then you've got Mike Rogers. Who said the most important job for the next Senator from Michigan is to have somebody who doesn't obstruct the President's agenda. The stakes could not be clearer. It's not Democrats vs. Republicans. It's Michigan vs. MAGA. And I'll choose Michigan every day of the week.
