Midwest Comms @DCCC. Previously @OHDems for @SherrodBrown, @RepSusanWild/@wildforcongress, @NHDems. All my exes live in Texas
Excited to join the all-star @DCCC team to help take back the House 🚀 Give me a shout to talk all things Midwest (MI, OH, IA, WI, & MN) races!
I sought the @VP out at the President’s Joint Address to discuss helping Ohio—he knows that. This bill cuts $28.5 Million for East Toledo infrastructure, and kicks 500,000 Ohioans off healthcare. This is on top of Trump Administration cuts of $100+ Million for NW Ohio…
VP @JDVance calls out @Marcy_Kaptur for voting AGAINST jobs & FOR tax hikes: “Anybody who voted against it, I think they ought to pay a penalty” “You’ve got a lot of manufacturing & a lot of energy workers in NW Ohio that would have benefitted from her yes vote” #OH09
In Ohio alone, the Republicans' reconciliation bill will kick 489,815 people off their health care; will put nearly 100,000 people at risk of going hungry; is likely to close 11 rural hospitals and 1 in 4 nursing homes; will eliminate 37,000 manufacturing jobs; and will raise…
Here’s the @dccc statement hitting @VP over his visit to Canton this morning #OH13
👀 @DerekMerrin @JoshWilliamsOH
My opponents think we need another career politician in #OH09. We aren't going to beat Kaptur with another career politician loaded down with baggage. @jbalmert cincinnati.com/story/news/pol…
Thank you, @gretchenwhitmer! What a JAWSome honor it is to fight for mid Michigan every day.
Our “Shark of the Week” has a real bite! @McdonaldRivet is a relentless fighter for Michiganders who just gets stuff done. She represents one of the most competitive districts in the country, and Republicans are already pouring in money to defeat her next year. If you want to…
Hotline's first 2026 House Power Rankings prove Midwestern Rs are in BIG trouble: 💥 5. @millermeeks 💥 13. @derrickvanorden 💥 15. @tombarrettmi7 💥 19. #MI10 💥 20. @NunnForCongress Democrats are on offense in the Midwest and we are going to win. nationaljournal.com/s/729154/ihotl…
No wonder @derrickvanorden flip-flopped on wanting the Epstein files released — "When Justice Department officials reviewed...documents related to...Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times..." wsj.com/politics/justi…

Paging @derrickvanorden
Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files on.wsj.com/4mcTIKV
Enough is enough. Weeks after voting to strip millions from their health insurance, and raise premiums for everyone else, Republican dark money groups are AGAIN lying about our work to bring price negotiation to life saving drugs for those on Medicare. Ohioans see through it,…

Republicans just gave massive handouts to the ultra-wealthy, and now they want to rip away Affordable Care Act tax credits that actually help working families. I'm fighting for a bill to extend those tax credits, which are set to expire in January. There's no time to waste.
Last summer, the @HouseGOP shut down work in mid-July instead of finding the big middle on bipartisan infrastructure reform. This summer, with costs rising on everything from beef to health insurance premiums, they'd rather go home than tell the truth about Epstein. The American…
HOUSE will be done Wednesday afternoon. They are canceling Thursday and heading home until Sept. 2.
Also @derrickvanorden: "...I want every bit of evidence concerning Epstein to released with the ONLY redactions being the victims names." "Things the NYT missed: [...] Epstein’s Client List" On Matt Gaetz: "Interesting that you would compare yourself to Jeffrey Epstein."
People who get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could soon see their monthly premiums sharply increase as subsidies expire and insurers propose a major premium hike for 2026. nbcnews.com/health/health-…
A gut punch to working families across our region. Trump’s abandonment of long-term investments and chaotic tariff practices are not only raising costs, they just killed 10,000 good-paying jobs. mlive.com/news/flint/202…
Here is Van Orden again trying to take credit for WI state leaders rushing to pass a budget in order to lock in a higher match of federal Medicaid $ under the BBB. Except Van Orden played no role in that -- and he voted to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. huffpost.com/entry/house-re…
Wisconsin is getting $1,000,000,000 a year plus up to Medicade per year. If any Wisconsinite loses coverage it will be due to incompetence, mismanagement, and malice by @GovEvers Seek mental health counseling.
Reminder: #MI04 will be a 2026 battleground
New from @CookPolitical: #MI04 will be a 2026 battleground "West Michigan has been a bright spot for Democrats... [MI-04] could host a competitive race next year." "In 2022, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer narrowly carried the district."
