Five years ago today, armed protesters attacked the U.S. Capitol. I had friends and former colleagues - both police and civilians - in the building that day. There was nothing peaceful about it. We cannot normalize this. We must continue to fight for the rule of law.
I’m excited to announce that I’m running for Michigan’s 41st State House seat. No matter what seat I’m running for, I’ll always fight to make sure Michiganders choose their politicians—not the other way around. Let’s flip the House and return our legislature to the people.
Yaktrax: $50. Sweatproof headphones: $150. TSO tunes: free (with Spotify subscription). Run through local nature preserve during a snow storm: priceless. Happy Thanksgiving weekend, everyone. I hope you got to take some time for yourselves.
It was a joy to march with the Calhoun County Democrats at the Battle Creek Christmas Parade. Great start to the holiday season!
I had a great time running with some friends at the @WMU turkey trot this morning. Thanks President Kavalhuna and WMU SRC for organizing such a good race
I had a great time yesterday at my friend Chris Kleinjans’ state Senate campaign kick off. West Michigan is ready to go blue. Looking forward to many more events like this one.
Disappointed to see us abdicating our leadership at the COP30 global climate summit this week. Protecting our planet for the next generation is critical and we need leaders who are willing to engage reuters.com/sustainability…

If you or someone you know relies on SNAP benefits in the Kalamazoo area, go to Park Street Market and @MidtownFresh to receive $40 worth of fruits and vegetables. These will expire at the end of the year and please share this information with the people that you know
It's election day in Michigan and make sure you make a plan to vote. If you need to find your polling location, go to vote.org Throwback to two years ago when I was in Holland for election day!
Don’t get lost in the culture wars. Remember ⬇️
Spending $172M on two private jets for the DHS Secretary is a shameful use of taxpayer money and the privilege of holding higher office. It goes against the values of our government and our country. reuters.com/business/aeros…
This year's Diwali celebration seems particularly on point after Saturday's rallies. Happy Diwali to those who celebrate, and let's all continue fighting for light to prevail over darkness.
Thank you @IndivisibleTeam for organizing No Kings protests all across Michigan’s Fourth District. We stopped at St. Joe, Holland, and South Haven yesterday. It was moving to see so many people standing up for our democracy.
I am so grateful that the hostages have been released. My prayers go to them and their families, as well as to the many families who will never again be whole. Together, we must now begin the work of healing and rebuilding.
These types of pledges undermine the foundation of academic freedom and independent educational institutions. Once we start dictating how people think and learn, we have abandoned the principles the founders earned for us. nytimes.com/2025/10/02/us/…
This is great news and happy to see the nearly 32,000 Michigan home care workers unionizing
🗣️📢The votes are in! Nearly 32,000 home care workers have won their union with @seiuhcmi, reclaiming a powerful voice for Michiganders who need and provide home care. Share the good news far and wide! #UnionsForAll
Let us remember all of the lives lost on this two year anniversary of Hamas’ brutal attack on October 7th, 2023. I pray for peace and for all who have suffered. We must continue to fight for the release of the hostages, end the war in Gaza, and build lasting peace.
