Team 103 with Big Gretch 💪🏽♥️
My team had skin in the game. They are FROM my region, 1st time campaign staffers w/a deep commitment to our community, to learning & winning.
My advice to Dem leadership & stakeholders who want to win is to INVEST in local talent on & off season.

Thanks to our UA Local 85 friends for hosting a terrific Candidate Night!
With your help, we will win #MI08 and take back control of Congress. We'll protect our unions, deliver the high-paying jobs Mid-Michigan families need, freedoms every American should have, and lower costs for all.
🎉 Congratulations to 2024 #MemorialCup Champions Saginaw @SpiritHockey 🏒 !!!!
Biggest moment in franchise history and only the third 🇺🇸 US team in 100+ years to win the 🏆 !!!
@SherrodBrown I heard u give that canary pin explanation to a kid at a Teamster hall in Toledo during Prop 2 vote in 2011. Still rings true…. And u gave the kid ur pin after explaining. Always a class act. Thank You.
On the lapel of my suits, I wear a pin of a canary in a birdcage.
At the turn of the 20th century, coal miners took canaries down into the mines with them. If the canary died, it meant there were poisonous gasses present and the miners needed to get out.
They didn’t have a union strong enough or a government that cared enough to protect them.
I wear this pin to remind me of the progress we’ve made in the fight for the Dignity of Work and all the work we have left to accomplish.
"These union wins have helped raise wages and demonstrate once again that the middle-class built America and that unions are still building and expanding the middle class for all workers." -@POTUS Biden
For decades, corporations set up shop in non-union states to avoid paying fair wages. Today, a new era begins.
Congratulations to workers at VW in Tennessee — you just won the South's first successful @UAW election since the 1940s.
This is a win for workers everywhere.
As we prepare for the election, we are seeing Americans across the country step up to defend democracy. So many saw what happened in 2020, and rather than saying "Count me out", they are saying, "Count me in!" This is who we are as a country. We come together and stand together in times like this. #teamdemocracy

@JDSpradlin@jimmybuffett@radiomville Preach… the LP was playing before 1975 Steven Stills concert @ Pine Knob MI. I was blown away. The only song I recognized ( kinda) was Come Monday. Had to wait till it was played on radio at work and DJ said who it was. Went on way home and bought it. Rest is History 👍👍
