Take a look at this document explaining why the ICE camps are concentration camps and illegal:

Then write to your congressman who has shown no awareness of this. There is a camp in Baldwin, Michigan that people from our county are being taken to with no due process.

Email your Republican Members of Congress and urge them to vote NO on any budget reconciliation bill that will shovel more taxpayer dollars to ICE and Border Patrol.

Meant to post this a while ago, office is still open for a couple more hours today so here is a photo of the front window.

There is a difference between Repubs and Dems in the 42nd HD.

Matt Hall (Repub) the current House speaker has been in the news a lot the last couple years, last year causing chaos with the Community Schools in Michigan by not agreeing to a budget till after school fiscal year had started and this year passing a bill to take most of the school funding for Michigan away (calls it a tax cut but it is pretty clear where this is going, cuts to schools budgets) https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2026/05/20/michigan-house-republican-property-pop-up-tax-cut-sales-tax-luxury-services/90182462007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=true&gca-epti=z116861p119950l001650c119950e1124xxv116861d--48--b--48--&gca-ft=190&gca-ds=sophi

Democrats are committed to supporting Public Schools and will not pull these kinds of stunts. Check out the 42nd district candidates statements on Education.

https://www.billkorb4mi.com/issues
“Michigan’s literacy crisis threatens our economy, our democracy, and our future. Bill believes education must be fully funded and protected.”

https://www.nickrowe.org/issues
“Michigan’s future depends on a strong, skilled workforce—and that starts with real investment in education and innovation.”

This is an endorsement of Democratic candidates generally, but not an individual candidate.

Congrats on the endorsement!!

BIG NEWS FOR WORKING FAMILIES! 🛠️✊

I am incredibly honored to announce that United Steelworkers (USW) District 1 has officially endorsed our campaign for State Senate!

As someone who grew up in a working-class household, this endorsement hits close to home. My dad worked hard in construction, and my mother worked as a janitor and a home health care aide. They taught me early on that organized labor is the true bedrock of the middle class.

Right now, as a special education teacher and President of the Battle Creek Education Association, I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our local educators every day to fight for fair compensation, strong benefits, and safe working conditions.

Lansing doesn’t just need people who vote the right way on labor—it needs leaders who actually know what it means to organize, bargain, and defend a contract.

When you send me to the State Capitol as your next State Senator, I will always give workers a primary seat at the table. Together with the Steelworkers, we will fight to:

🔵 Defend and expand collective bargaining rights
🔵 Prioritize strict workplace safety standards
🔵 Promote fair funding, prevailing wage, and local infrastructure projects
🔵 Hold corporations accountable to working communities

Thank you to the entire USW District 1 family for your solidarity and support. Let’s win this fight and move the 18th District forward, together! 🗳️💪

Honored, proud, and ready to fight. ✊

I am humbled to be endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan for the 18th Senate District! Reproductive freedom is a human right, and I will always stand up to protect access to healthcare, education, and autonomy for all Michiganders.

The decision of when, if, how, or who can form a family should be made by an individual, their family, their doctor, and their faith leader—not the government, and I will always follow that belief.

Yummy and a good cause, head out for pizza if you live near Holland!

This candidate is endorsed by the Allegan County Democratic Party

Your pizza order can help keep immigrant families safe, stable, employed, and connected to their communities.

But the clock is ticking.

Only 2 days remain to support Hops at 84 East in downtown Holland and their Community Pizza fundraiser benefiting Lighthouse Immigrant Advocates.

This month’s featured pizza is piled with alfredo sauce, chicken, cherry tomatoes, Pecorino Romano, and asparagus, and every pizza sold donates $5 directly to Lighthouse Immigrant Advocates. Plus, $1 from every growler fill helps support their work, too.

Good food. Good people. Real impact.

Grab a pizza from Hops this weekend and help local families stay lawful, supported, and rooted in the community they call home.
