U.S. Senator for the great state of Michigan. Dog mom, Michigander. Fighting for better jobs, lower health care costs, and cleaner politics.
- I just received a call from Tom Barrett conceding the election. I’m so grateful to the people of mid-Michigan for their support. Tonight, voters here made clear that the politics of division are not what they want for our families or our state. 1/
- If tonight’s news is true, Michigan’s 1931 state law banning abortion would snap back into effect, making any abortion illegal in our state — even if the mom will die, or if she was raped by a family member. No exceptions. 1/2
- There are some decisions in life that have to be made based on what you know in your bones is right. And this is one of those times.
- Come on, Mike. In your 14 years in Congress, you co-sponsored FOUR bills — the last one with Jim Jordan in 2013 — that would have the same effect as the Alabama Supreme Court’s IVF ruling, making it impossible for millions of couples to have a family. You don’t get to run awayIVF has been critical to helping Americans grow their families and realize the blessing of life and parenthood. I oppose any and all efforts to restrict access to IVF — period.Readers added contextIn his 14 years in Congress Mike Rogers sponsored 4 bills that would have the same effect as the Alabama Supreme Court’s IVF ruling congress.gov/bill/109th-con… congress.gov/bill/110th-con… congress.gov/bill/111th-con… congress.gov/bill/113th-con…

00:00 - THANK YOU, MICHIGAN! I am so honored to be the next Senator from the great state of Michigan and to follow in the footsteps of the great @stabenow. This would not have happened without the hard work and support of so many: my family, our volunteers, donors, and of course —
- I’m pretty sure I just lived out every Michigander’s dream — hard to imagine anything cooler than sharing a stage with @Eminem.
00:00 - First piece of mail: A FedEx from the Senate. Senate orientation starts Tuesday, and I got my book today!
- Mr. Junge: If you are going to talk about my mother, you should know what you're talking about. She deserves that, and so do the 310,000 people in our district who have a pre-existing condition like she did. #MI08debate
00:00 - Today, I’m announcing my run to be Michigan’s next U.S. Senator. We need a new generation of leaders that thinks differently, works harder, and never forgets that we are *public servants*
00:00 - .@MikeRogersForMI had 20 years as a legislator. He voted for every single ban, every single restriction, every single bill that came across his desk. Every single time he was cast those votes, he sent a message to women: that he doesn’t trust you to make your own decisions about
00:00 - My mom, who died in 2011 of ovarian cancer, had breast cancer many years before. When I saw @RepMikeBishop smiling at the White House after voting to gut protections for pre-existing conditions, something inside me broke. And it's why I'm running for Congress.
00:00 - Replying to @ElissaSlotkinMy poor mother is turning over in her grave. The House has already voted to codify Roe — let all Senators be on record on this one in an up or down vote. 2/2
