Despite a recent extension (literally a month ago), it's clear there's still much work to be done - but tonight shows that collective action can drive meaningful change. When people come from all over to stand with our neighbors, that speaks VOLUMES. I'm proud of everyone who showed up to demand better for our communities.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month yall!

This is yet another month to reflect on our efforts of moving towards that more perfect union our founders sought out to do. Yall means ALL, and so does We The People. True freedom means having the freedom to express yourself, to earn an honesty days pay, to live life a little bit, and have enough basic respect for each other as neighbors to know we're all different but better together.

"When we're free to love anyone we choose,
When this world's big enough for all different views,
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew,
Then we shall be free!" - Garth Brooks

My name is Ray Pooley, my pronouns are He/ Him
But
This November I want to TRANSition to Your/ Representative 😎

Also, if calling someone by their preferred pronoun or name seems weird, just remember plenty of people go by their middle name, including me (have been since about 8th grade).

🇺🇸 CAMPAIGN KICKOFF – FLAG DAY, JUNE 14TH

Two Sundays from now, on Flag Day, it will have been one full year since this average blue-collar, overtime working, homesteading patriotic American took his first step toward running for Congress. I had plenty of reasons to run, but the real question was: Can a working-class man—with nothing but foresight, drive, and a message—stand up to Washington and remind every last one of them that they work for us?

I’ve traveled across this district and listened to you. Republicans, Democrats, Independents—so many of you feel invisible. We're overworked, overtaxed, and underpaid while our national debt skyrockets. That's putting it mildly. Meanwhile, billionaires get sweetheart tax breaks to buy our lawmakers and our family farmland for their private playgrounds.

If we want real representation that fights for the working class—for the backbone of this nation—it has to come from us. We the people.

So I’m proud to announce my official Campaign Kickoff will be on June 14th—right where it all began, in Romeo. I hope you’ll stand with me. Full details coming later this week.

🚫💰 This is what democracy looks like! Our representatives are supposed to work for YOU, not corporations or private interest groups. Let's get big money out of politics this November here in Michigan!

Can you believe June is almost here? Time sure flies when we're working towards a brighter future! I'm thrilled to announce that our campaign kickoff will officially take place next month, and we'll be sharing more exciting details soon.

Additionally, over the next few weeks, I'll be reaching out to email back each and every one of you who has generously offered to lend a hand. Your support means the world to me and this campaign.

As we move forward, I want to acknowledge that we can't do this without your help. This campaign is all about empowering the average everyday people, not private interest groups or foreign entities. If you'd like to send a blue-collar working-class man to represent you in congress, I am asking for your financial support. Your help, whether donations, volunteering, or just sharing our message, is always appreciated.

Now, let's work together to build a better America for all of us 💪😎🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Today as we celebrate the freedom we've inherited whether at a parade, on the lake, or spending time with friends and family, let's also take a moment to express gratitude for the brave men and women who have served our nation.

This Memorial Day, we honor the ultimate sacrifice made by some, and recommit to building a brighter future. We can start by making sure unnecessary wars aren't started that put the lives of our soldiers in danger. Additionally, as your hopeful next representative, I will focus on passing key legislation that would help both soldier and their families: the Major Richard Star Act, Caring for Survivors Act, and Justice for ALS Veterans Act. If we're going to ask them to put their lives on the line for us, we'd better be willing to take care of them and their families when they return.

Together, we can build a lasting impact for generations to come, ensuring their legacy pushes us toward a more just, fair, and compassionate America that works for all of us.

Happy Memorial Day yall!

Put your money where your mouth is then. Why don't you show them how to stand up to the "radical left" candidate in your own district?

I'll be waiting.

Your values got us $5 gas, lost us thousands of manufacturing jobs, spiked our healthcare costs, and pulled us into a war no one asked for.
Anyway, good luck in November 👍

Sincerely,
The next generation 😎
