Hey, it’s Abdul. We’re in a tough spot right now, and we need your help. Trump’s handpicked candidate, Mike Rogers, has $51 million in Super PAC money backing him. I don’t take corporate PAC money – and I never will. But to compete with Rogers millions, I need your help. Can you chip in $5 right now to support our campaign to beat Mike Rogers?

Hey, it’s Abdul. Here are two things you need to know: 1️⃣ We’re nearly tied with MAGA extremist Mike Rogers in the polls. 2️⃣ We don’t take a single dime from corporate PACs or special interests. That means closing the gap and winning this race will come down to grassroots supporters like you stepping in and chipping in whatever you can, a few bucks at a time. Will you rush a donation to help us reach the Michiganders who will decide this race?

Abdul here. I just signed off on airtime we can't pay for yet. Our campaign finance team recently talked through the cash we have now and how much airtime that can buy us.

🚨 BREAKING: A new poll has Mike Rogers 2 points ahead of us. This is the second poll in the past few weeks that has us trailing. That's no coincidence. After MAGA Republicans reserved over $100 million in ads, this race became the most expensive in Michigan history. They’re throwing an unfathomable amount of cash at us to drown out our message, and clearly, it’s working. I’ve never taken a dime of corporate PAC money, so there’s no big check coming to bail us out. There’s only you. Will yo

Can I count on you to chip in $5 right now? Every single dollar matters in this final stretch. I don’t take corporate PAC money, so this campaign is powered solely by grassroots donors like you. Let’s show them that the power of the people is greater than the people in power.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
