Today we honor Human Rights Day. It's a reminder that dignity, safety, and opportunity belong to everyone. In MI-01, that starts with building an Affordable LIFE: Local housing, Income, Food, and Essential healthcare for all.

It's Day 9 of the Affordable LIFE Advent Calendar: Balance Rentals and Residents. We need to balance short-term rentals for the tourist economy with the need for full-time residents. Private equity shouldn’t price us out of homes. #MI01

Now introducing, the 25 days of an Affordable LIFE Advent Calendar. Here is my wish list for MI01 this season.

December 1st, 2025 - Extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Subsidies

Essential Care matters. Access to hospitals, life-saving medication, and compassionate treatment should never depend on your ZIP code.

An Affordable LIFE means ensuring every community has the care they need.

Bergman's gone AWOL! Jack Bergman hasn't attended a public town hall in 8 years, 7 months, and 10 days!

Let's choose leadership that actually shows up for Upper and Northern Michigan.

Many families will have an empty chair at the table this Thanksgiving — a loved one serving far from home. To all our service members and their families: thank you for your sacrifice. We’re thinking of you.

As we head into Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for my family and for the strength, resilience, and kindness of the people of Upper and Northern Michigan. From our veterans to our small-business owners, to every family gathering around a table this week — thank you for being the heart of our community.

Thank you to every essential worker spending this holiday serving others instead of being home with loved ones.
You deserve more than appreciation. You deserve fair pay, safe conditions, and an economy that works for you.

That's why I'm fighting for an Affordable LIFE. #MI01 #LIFE

Northern Michigan is where I call home, so it's hard to pick only a few of the places and events that I enjoy (because there are a lot), but here are a few that every Michigander should experience.

From Marquette to Iron Mountain, Sault Ste. Marie, Gladstone, Escanaba, and Mackinac Island, communities across the U.P. are kicking off Thanksgiving with Turkey Trots that raise money, food, and awareness for local causes.
