An endorsement is a leap of faith.
It means a person, a business, or an organization has looked closely at this campaign — at our positions, our plan to win the 105th, and what we believe — and decided to put their name next to ours. In a district that hasn't seen a competitive race in 34 years, that takes courage.
Every name here belongs to a neighbor who went first — a friend of the 105 who believes in us — or an organization willing to stand with us. We think they're worth your support, and worth your trust in this campaign.
We're honored to be endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan as a Sexual & Reproductive Health Champion.
This means we can be trusted to protect reproductive freedom and access to the care Planned Parenthood provides — birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing, and pregnancy care.
In the 105, that access is a challenge. When the Petoskey center closed in 2025, the nearest in-person Planned Parenthood became Traverse City — well over an hour from Grayling, Roscommon, or Gaylord. For rural families stretched thin, that distance matters. Everyone deserves affordable care close to home.
We're grateful for this endorsement, and proud to help keep that care within reach.

We're proud to share that AFSCME Michigan 925 has endorsed our campaign.
AFSCME (the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) is the union for public service workers — the state and county employees who keep our communities running across Michigan. Here in the 105, that includes the people who staff our local government offices and the workers who run our senior and aging-care services.
Their endorsement means a lot to us. It tells us that the people who do this essential work have looked at this race and chosen to stand with us. We're honored to have earned their trust, and we're grateful to be in this together.
We're proud to share that Indivisible Courage Together has endorsed our campaign.
Indivisible Courage Together is a local chapter of the national Indivisible movement — a grassroots group of neighbors from all walks of life, united by a shared devotion to democracy and to a Constitution that belongs to all of us. They're active in our community: organizing candidate meet-and-greets, peaceful protests, advocating for change at the state and national levels, and creating space for neighbors to stay informed and involved.
Their support matters a lot to me — and so does the work they do every day to keep our democracy strong. We're honored to stand alongside them.

We're proud to share that Michigan Rural Caucus PAC has endorsed our campaign.
The Michigan Rural Caucus was formed to give rural communities a real voice — the quarter of Michiganders whose concerns, from broadband and healthcare to conservation and schools, too often get overlooked in Lansing. Its PAC political arm backs candidates who will be strong advocates for rural Michigan. What makes that support different is where the money comes from: not corporations protecting their bottom line, but everyday donors who care about rural communities, pooling smaller gifts to help vetted candidates run strong campaigns. It's neighbors investing in neighbors.
I’m grateful to have their support.
