It’s a favorite holiday for Team Ufford! Not only did we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day today, but we also celebrated Pi Day (as in 3.14159…). The best way to celebrate? Going out and getting petition signatures together!
We are grateful to local law enforcement for their work in keeping the community safe in this moment. Please follow local news for further updates.

Rebecca and I are following news of the active shooter situation at Temple Israel and praying for the safety of our fellow community members. It is horrifying and unacceptable for any of our neighbors to be targeted in this way. We must stand against antisemitism and violence.
It was great to join All Talk with Kevin Dietz again this week.
Washington doesn't need more career politicians. It needs more people who have built things. We need more people who actually know the difference between a common screwdriver and a number 2 phillips.
The newest jobs report says it clearly: tariff taxes, kicking people off their healthcare, and cancelling clean energy investments is BAD for our economy.
We ALL do better when we take care of one another.
What is this war for? We are putting our service members in harm's way, and we are raising costs for everyone at home. It's time to end this reckless war.
When I was working at Ford, I used to get gas about once a week. Average Michiganders are now paying $53 to fill up their tanks. If you're getting gas once a week, that's more than $2,700 a year.
Knocking doors is the most fundamental thing we need to do to win this race. It gives me the chance to reach people face to face and talk about the things that matter to them.

It was an honor this morning to join The Wake Up Call with Reverend Horace Sheffield.
We are building a campaign to reach voters all across Oakland County, so that we can build the Democratic Party and make real change for working people.
“The blue-collar industries that Trump has promised to help had a bad month last month. Employment fell by 12,000 in manufacturing, and 11,000 in construction.”

I didn’t spend my career in the halls of Congress playing political games, kicking the can down the road, and simply asking for reports from the White House. It’s time to step up. We cannot afford another forever war.
What is this war for? No one has explained why American families should be paying more for gas and groceries, or why we need to send our sons and daughters off to war at this moment. The President is out of control, and Congress refuses to step up.
American service members have already been killed. It's time for Congress to step up and get to work.
Each day since this Administration took us to war with Iran, it has become more clear that there is no real plan, objective, or endgame for this conflict. Right now, we are on track for this to be America's next forever war.
I'm not a career politician. I reject all Corporate PAC money, I'll fight to ban Congressional stock trading, and I'll fight for term limits. Let's get it done.
Today is the last day of National Engineers Week! So Newton and I thought we'd talk about what that means.
Congress needs more people who know how to solve complex problems and build things. I'll use my background as an engineer to get things done for you.
I am calling on every candidate in this race to state clearly that they are against this illegal attack. The American people deserve to know where we stand as the lives of our servicemembers are put at risk. It’s time for Congress to stand up.
This is also a distraction from real problems we have at home. Families cannot afford healthcare, childcare, groceries, and other essentials. Trump’s corrupt administration is doing nothing to strengthen our economy or make life better for Michiganders.
Iran’s authoritarian regime has long destabilized the region, sponsored terrorism, and cannot be allowed to build a nuclear weapon. But going to war requires Congressional authorization. That’s the Constitution.
The Administration will try to say this conflict will be quick and contained. We don’t know that. The lives of our American servicemembers are at risk, and America could be on the hook for billions in costs trying to end this war and rebuild Iran.
Our sons and daughters in uniform are in harm’s way. If we don’t stand up now, how many more American lives will this President be willing to put at risk?
We were told in June that the Administration’s operation against Iran would be one-and-done. That was a lie. Congress must stand up. No president gets to launch a war without Congressional authorization.
Our families cannot afford another rate increase. We need to take on the influence of Corporate PACs and lobbyists in Lansing and D.C. I reject all Corporate PAC money, because when a corporation gives you money, they always expect something in return.

You deserve a refund for these illegal tariff taxes.
3 things I'll fight to do in my first 3 months in Congress:
1.) Ban congressional stock trading and end Corporate PAC contributions.
2.) Restore funding for Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act.
3.) Train workers on jobs of the future here in Oakland County.
Let's get to work!
Working people deserve better. Now let’s get to work to fight for it.
The “war on fraud” should start in the White House.
