Kamala Harris
President of the United States
President Biden: "I am endorsing Kamala Harris to be our next President of the United States"
"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.
For my part: my very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made.

Elisa Slotkin
US Senate for Michigan
Elissa has dedicated her career to serving the country she loves. Elissa was in New York City on September 11, 2001, and by the time the dust cleared, Elissa knew she wanted to go into national security to protect our homeland. She was recruited by the CIA to be a Middle East analyst, and within a year she was sent on the first of three tours in Iraq alongside the U.S. military. Her time in a combat zone led her to national security roles at the White House, where she worked as a civil servant, for whoever was the Commander-in-Chief. Elissa worked for President Bush as a member of his national security staff and was asked to stay on when President Obama took office. In the Obama Administration, she helped negotiate some of the Pentagon’s most sensitive national security matters from the fight against ISIS to the U.S. response to Russian aggression. Elissa, running on the issues that mattered the most to Michiganders; bringing down the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs, bringing critical supply chains back to the U.S., creating jobs with dignity, and getting money out of politics, was first elected in 2018 in a R+4 seat. She was re-elected in 2020 as one of seven House Democrats to represent a seat Trump also won, and re-elected a second time in 2022 by nearly 6 points – her largest victory to date. Elissa is now running for the U.S. Senate to replace Sen. Stabenow (retiring) and to continue to be a voice for Michiganders in Congress."

Callie Barr
Michigan 1st Congressional District Primary
Callie is a 5th-generation Michigander running for Congress in Michigan’s 1st District. Callie is a proud graduate of Cheboygan High School where she met her husband, Mat. After September 11, Mat enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served two tours in Iraq. Callie attended Central Michigan University where she earned her bachelor’s degree in secondary education. Callie moved with her husband five times in 15 years, raising two girls and eventually caregiving for Mat after he suffered combat injuries, including post-traumatic stress and a traumatic brain injury.
Frustrated by the lack of support for active military members and returning veterans, Callie became involved in advocating for the military and their families with Blue Star Families and the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers. Callie then went on to receive a law degree, graduating with honors from the University of Michigan Law School so she could better advocate for policy changes at the federal level. Callie is running for office because MI-01 deserves a representative that is from Michigan and for Michigan.
