Josh Cowen

Whether it’s schoolteachers, federal civil servants, or manufacturing workers across the country:

Firing people isn’t clever.

And it isn’t a fucking plan.

I’m on record—including, literally, today—saying Democrats need to laser-focus on schools. Or we’ll lose.

But let’s be 💯 clear.

The GOP “big ideas” are predatory school voucher schemes that 1) mostly fund kids already in private school and 2) destroy student learning for the rest.

The GOP is gearing up to make 2026 the “education election.”

To win next year, more Democrats need to make investing in and renewing public schools a top priority.

.@joshcowenmi.bsky.social Thank you for running such a principled campaign focusing on what matters most for mid-Michigan families — a bright future for our kids with great public schools & lower costs for families. I'm honored to have your support in our fight to win MI07 & flip the House!

As the product of Michigan public schools and the daughter of a Michigan teacher, I am so proud to have @joshcowenmi.bsky.social's endorsement. He's a true champion for public schools and I'm excited to have Josh on our side in the fight to win MI07 & deliver for our district!

I am exiting the race for Congress in Michigan's 7th. I am proud and grateful for what we've done on our campaign. I’ll have more to say about my next steps soon, but I’m proud to support @bridgetbrink.com

Thanks for everything 🙏

I was proud to testify for this bill this summer.

I’m glad it’s in the budget and I hope it’s the start of new investments in lower class sizes for Michigan kids across the state.

Today, we remember the thousands of innocent lives lost and countless more forever changed when Hamas committed a brutal terrorist attack on the Israeli people two years ago.

My family and I are praying for an end to this war, and for a future of peace.

Happy World Teachers’ Day 🍎✊💪. I’m proud to be a lifelong educator, to have taught future teachers for more than a decade, and to be a member of the largest teachers’ union in the United States. Thank a teacher today!

My family and I are wishing Ambassador. Brink well, and thinking of her and her family as she recovers. Godspeed.

Wishing everyone observing Yom Kippur a safe and easy fast. G'mar chatima tovah, may you be sealed in the book of life!

I’m thinking of families in our MI-07 district, including:

The 5,000 federal workers whose paychecks are stopping.

The 23,000 with health care costs about to skyrocket.

And 25,000 about to lose health care entirely.

Because Trump and @RepTomBarrett chose this shutdown.

Think about this for a second.

Trump and his bootlickers like @RepTomBarrett are about to shutdown the government just so they AVOID making health care easier to get, and less expensive for you and me.

I’m running for Congress to stop this kind of shit.

I’ve stood up to right-wing billionaires and stood up for kids and families.

This is my home. And our country is in danger.

And I’m running for Congress to defend them both.

We get the schools we’re willing to invest in.

I’m a proud parent of Ingham ISD public schoolers—and graduates—here in Michigan’s CD-07.

Listen to our Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, and Shiawassee school leaders. Pass a state budget that does right by kids and families👇👇👇

Jill Underly showed how standing up for kids and families can beat back right-billionaires here in the Midwest.

And that’s what I’m going to do too.

Always a great time with the Blue Brigade. Thanks to everyone who came out to hear about my plans to take back MI-07 and build a better future for all of us.

Trump’s federal government is bullying our kids.

I’m running for Congress in my home district to fight for families here in Michigan—and across the US.

This spring @underlyforwi.bsky.social
beat Elon Musk’s millions to win a tough Midwest election.

We’re going to do the same.

Happy New Year to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah, L’shana Tova!

The Trump-@RepTomBarrett economy

Reminder today for my fellow Christians:

Jesus warned about wealth more than He did any other subject.

The problem isn’t building wealth.

The problem is worshipping wealth.

I will never grovel to a few far-right billionaires.

Let’s build an economy that works for everyone.
