Friend,

As Michiganders know, for decades the DeVos family’s #1 issue has been weakening Michigan's, and the country's, public education system. Betsy DeVos used Michigan as her petri dish before becoming Trump’s Secretary of Education, and his longest serving cabinet secretary – just about the full four years. That’s why Betsy DeVos’ tweet and article this week are particularly head-shaking:

Betsy DeVos Tweet: Happy Birthday to an agency that should NEVER have been created. Shut Down the Department of Education. Why the department does more harm than good - and how we could actually help students - Betsy DeVos

She’s finally saying the quiet part out loud: Betsy DeVos was Trump’s longest serving cabinet secretary and oversaw a department she didn’t even believe should exist. She took a salary and traveled on the taxpayers’ dime, all while working to run the organization she was leading into the ground.

But that fight didn’t end when Betsy DeVos left her cabinet position. For years, the DeVos family has funded candidates who will push their particular policies at the national level. And just this week, we got a glimpse into who they’re backing to be Michigan’s next Senator when former Congressman Mike Rogers filed his FEC report. In the first month of his campaign, the DeVos family has shown they’re all-in on sending Mike Rogers to the Senate – contributing over $46,200, all in one day.

We know that this is just the beginning of the support Mike Rogers will receive from big money donors. This is why we’re asking: Will you help us push back against the influence of the DeVos family in our race by chipping in $3 today? It really does all add up – their big checks don’t hold a candle to the power of lots and lots of people giving a little at a time.

Thank you,
