Overview

Michael Bouchard Jr. isn’t one of us; he’s from Birmingham and handpicked by the political insiders and corporate lobbyists making our lives more expensive. They know he’ll fall in line and follow their orders, even though it raises our cost of living.

SUMMARY

Starting 9 weeks before the general election voters should see ads on streaming and Youtube and receive mail, and starting 5 weeks before Election Day through Election Day, voters need to read mail and see ads on Detroit broadcast, CTV/OTT, YouTube, and other non-skippable digital ad platforms about how:

  • Birmingham Bouchard is the son of a career politician and a plant from political insiders. Bouchard is from Birmingham, and worked a cushy job at a lobbying firm that has helped powerful health insurers who charge Michigan families more. Multiple lobbyists and insiders told him to run for office and are funding his campaign because they know that when push comes to shove, he’ll side with them over working families here in Southeast Michigan.
  • Birmingham Bouchard’s lobbying firm worked for big health insurance and big pharma companies that made all of our premiums and prescriptions more expensive. So it’s no surprise that he backed a bill that will kick over 32,000 people in this district off of their health insurance and let insurance companies raise Michiganders’ premiums by as much as 30% – all to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy who fund his campaign.
  • Birmingham Bouchard fell in line and backed tariffs even after they cost the auto industry over $35 billion, threatening local jobs. And he supports policies that let insurance companies raise Michiganders’ premiums by 30% and utilities increase our energy costs by hundreds each year.

Starting immediately and running through Election Day, Democratic sporadic voters and Black voters need to receive mail about how to request a ballot to vote by mail. They also need to receive mail, see ads on streaming and Youtube, and hear radio ads about how:

  • Christina Hines is one of us. Christina grew up in Warren, graduated from Warren Woods Tower, and worked several jobs, including one at Home Depot to get through college and law school. She became a prosecutor, working alongside law enforcement to put away the worst of the worst and keep our community safe.
  • Christina was an SVU prosecutor. She did not care if the murderers, rapists and pedophiles she put behind bars were Democrats or Republicans. She stands up to anyone who hurts Michiganders no matter their party.
  • While beginning her own family, Hines was a caregiver for her mom as she battled chronic illness. As a working mom, she knows too many Michigan families are working hard but still struggling to make ends meet. In Congress, Hines will put the middle class first and lower costs by cracking down on corrupt politicians in both parties who allow their corporate donors to price gouge. She will fight for housing we can afford, good-paying manufacturing jobs, and to lower healthcare costs. She has never and will never take a dime from corporate PACs.
  • Birmingham Bouchard is the son of a career politician and a plant from political insiders who know he’ll fall in line with whatever they want. That’s why they started a super PAC to support his campaign. 
  • Birmingham Bouchard falls in line with Donald Trump. He said he wants to be Trump’s “ally in Congress” and Bouchard “couldn’t name any areas where he disagreed with Trump” long after tariffs raised the cost of goods, passed the largest Medicaid cut in history, and thousands of Michiganders lost health care, while Trump’s bill raised health care premiums. 
  • He even falls in line on abortion. He’s backed by a group that wants to reinstate  Michigan’s extreme 1931 abortion ban that would jail doctors and nurses for doing their jobs, even in cases of rape and incest. 

Additional Resources

  • Voters should see law enforcement and first responders affirming Christina Hines’ record on public safety.
  • Voters should be reminded that Birmingham Bouchard. is not from the district and out of touch with the struggles voters in this district are facing. Two things make Junior particularly different from his father: 
    • That he’ll follows orders from lobbyists who signed his paycheck, pushed him to run, and are funding his campaign; 
    • And that he’s falling in line with extremists. He’s backed by a group that wants to reinstate Michigan’s extreme 1931 abortion ban that would jail doctors and nurses for doing their jobs, even in cases of rape and incest.
  • Early and Absentee voting is critical, so voters need to receive strong communications starting 8 weeks before the general election and through four weeks before the general election.
  • Further polling is needed on the impact of Birmingham Bouchard’s support of the proliferation of Data Centers and their impact on consumers’ costs, and that he falls in line with Donald Trump.
