Don Ufford for Congress (Michigan's 11th)

The first snow of the season today has Rebecca, Newton, and I missing warm weather already! Bundle up!

Hey everyone, I'm Don Ufford. I'm an engineer, a builder, and a dad running to make Washington work for our families in Michigan.

I'm not a politician, and this campaign won't be about politics as usual. Join our team at ufford4michigan.com,

In this country, basic healthcare should be a right for everyone. This is a direct result of this Administration and Congress gutting the ACA behind closed doors. We need Congress to fix our broken healthcare system so that all Americans can get the care they need.

The Trump Admin is devastating our auto industry, hurting workers, and ceding the future of autos and advanced manufacturing to China.

The tariff taxes and the attack on electric vehicle investments need to end so we can put Michiganders back to work.

Building things in Michigan means training our workers on the skills they need. That's what I want to accomplish when I represent our community in Congress.

As a Dad, I know how important it is that we equip our young people with a path to a good-paying job. And I know Washington can do more to make that possible.

When I worked in the Made in America Office, we worked with the state of Michigan to secure $50 million to train workers in Michigan on jobs of the future. That money went towards community colleges and K-12 programs that set people up for a good career.

We're almost a month into this government shutdown. On November 1st, over a million Michiganders will be at risk of going hungry because their SNAP benefits are on pause. Michiganders deserve better.

If you're able to, let's help out our neighbors by donating to local food banks.

Our auto industry needs stability and smart policy in order to build things here. In Congress, I'll work to end this chaos - and instead, I'll work to protect our supply chains, build the infrastructure we need, and stand up for workers.

I know what it takes to build things. When I was in automotive, we worked on great vehicles like the Mustang and F-150, creating and protecting good jobs for thousands of Michiganders.

GM eliminates hundreds of positions at Warren Tech Center The automaker said it was restructuring its design teams, which meant laying off hundreds of salaried positions.

President Trump’s chaotic tariff taxes are destabilizing our auto industry, and they’re hurting working people in Michigan. We need leaders in Congress who will use their authority to end these reckless tariffs.

Michiganders deserve better than these reckless, short-sighted tariffs that are destabilizing our auto industry and hurting everyday workers.

I've been clear from the beginning: If we want to build things in Michigan, we need to protect our supply chains, support workers, and invest in our infrastructure.

We need a positive plan to build things in Michigan, protect and expand access to healthcare, lower costs for families, and protect our freedoms. I'm running to offer that vision, so that we can strengthen our families and communities all across Oakland County.

I'm not a politician. But I decided to run for Congress right now because our Michigan Dream is slipping away.

I'm going to work to turn that movement into action in Washington so that we can protect our freedoms and make Michigan a better place for everyone.

I had an amazing time showing up for our democracy at No Kings Day today in Ferndale. It was amazing to meet with folks from all across Oakland County who know what's on the line in this next election, and are ready to do something about it.

In the three months that ended Sept. 30, Ufford — a homespun, bespectacled tinkerer who rose to become Ford’s director of global vehicle engineering and had a hand in redesigning the Mustang and the F-150 pickup — raised some $358,000 in his run for the Democratic nomination..."

“For a newcomer to politics, former Ford Motor Co. engineer Don Ufford appears to be doing something right early in his first run for Congress.

Wow!

I just found out that our campaign raised more money in the Third Quarter than anyone else in this race in the 11th Congressional District.

I'm humbled by the support of folks like you. I'm going to keep working every day to build a campaign we can all be proud of.

If I have the chance to serve you in Congress, I'll work to create the infrastructure we need, develop the workforce we need, protect our supply chains, and support workers so that we can build the things we need here at home.

Washington doesn't know how things get built. We need leaders who actually understand what it will take to strengthen manufacturing in our state and across the country.

We need more leaders in Congress who know what it's like to work with your hands and build things.

At Ford, I led teams that helped design and build vehicles that people could use every day. In Congress I'll work to build more of the things we need here in Oakland County.

Instead of pulling the rug out from under people, we need to invest in good jobs for Michiganders. In Congress, I'll fight to invest in our manufacturing so that we can build a better future here in Michigan.

$1 Billion. That's how much this Administration is planning to cut from projects that will create jobs in the Electric Vehicle plants of the future. Those cuts will have negative impacts for workers all across our automotive supply chain.

Grateful for every moment we get to run this race together!

Michigan has always been a place that builds things. In Congress, I'll work to create more of those good-paying, family-supporting manufacturing jobs here in Oakland County.
