Friends, I have an important question for Michiganders: Have you voted yet?
Absentee ballots are already sitting on coffee tables all across Michigan, and early voting is around the corner. The primary is one week away.
So if you are in Michigan and haven’t voted, or haven’t made your plan yet, will you take two minutes and do it right now? This site makes it super easy:
Let me tell you why I’m asking directly.
The polls show I’m leading in the primary AND that I’m the Democrat with the best shot of defeating MAGA Republican Mike Rogers in November.
I know we can win this race, keep Michigan blue, and flip the Senate.
But none of it matters if people don’t vote.
Look, friends, I’m not in this race for attention or to get rich. I’m not here for the TV cameras or the Instagram likes. I don’t have a talent agent. I’m not in this for a book deal or a podcast. And unlike my opponents, I’m not a millionaire.
I’m in this for the folks I’ve met in union halls. For the workers I’ve talked to on shop floors. For the small-business owners, retirees, nurses, and parents in every corner of this state. I’ve been listening, learning, and working on how to solve real problems for real people.
Is that as flashy as hanging out with a celebrity podcaster? Nope.
Does it rack up views? It does not.
Does it go viral? Not unless you have a cold.
But I’m not looking for fame. I’m a public servant and I’m looking out for Michigan.
My primary opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, is incredibly skilled at getting attention online. Good for him. I’m skilled at getting sh*t done.
I helped save 200,000 jobs working for President Obama during the auto industry rescue. I helped write and pass the CHIPS and Science Act. And I fight for Michigan’s working families every day in Congress.
A very online crowd has spent a ton of time making fun of my voice, my clothes, my whatever. It feels like middle school. But I want them, and everyone, to know: I don’t care.
Seriously, knock yourselves out, folks. I know I’m not some overly polished influencer-celebrity-politician. Tease me all you want. I’ve got a job to do.
I’m a workhorse.
I’m going to keep showing up in real life for Michiganders, hearing their concerns, telling them my plans, and encouraging them to do the ONE thing that actually makes a difference for real people: Vote.
So if you’re in Michigan and you’ve already sent in your ballot, thank you. I’m grateful. You did something real, something meaningful, for our state and our country.
Now, will you text a friend and make sure they have a plan, too? If you haven’t, here’s that link one more time.
Let’s keep working. Let’s keep fighting. Let’s stick it to’em.
More soon.
With grit, Haley
A personal note from Haley 👋
I’m a lifelong Michigander and the daughter of small-business owners. I’ve spent my career fighting for Michigan’s working families – and now I’m running for the U.S. Senate to keep standing up for the people I love.
But here’s the truth: Senate control could come down to Michigan. And Trump and his megadonors know it. That’s why they’re gearing up to spend tens of millions to defeat me and hand this seat to a MAGA Republican.
I need your help to fight back. This race will be one of the most competitive – and expensive – in the country, and I’m counting on grassroots support to win.
If you’re with me, will you chip in today?
