Team,

Last night, Elissa and Congresswoman Liz Cheney held An Evening for Patriotism and Bipartisanship at East Lansing High School. 

More than 600 people crowded into a high school gym to hear the two Congresswomen speak about the importance of putting one’s country first—before politics, before winning elections, and before yourself. Take a look:

The event comes after Congresswoman Cheney endorsed Elissa for reelection in one of the most competitive House races in the country, the first time she’s ever endorsed a Democrat. 

The theme of the night was largely what Elissa has been saying this entire campaign: that our country is going through something right now. But that we’ve always gotten through these moments with two things: engaged citizens and principled leaders. The 600 Michiganders in that high school gym were a perfect demonstration of the engaged citizens our country is looking for in this moment — people who care about their community and their country. 

Elissa is committed to being the principled leader they deserve.
