| Today, the DCCC announced that Will Lawrence has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Will, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as he runs for Michigan’s 7th District.
“While Tom Barrett sides with Trump and the corporate special interests, Will Lawrence sides with the people. He stands up to anyone trying to take advantage of Michigan, and in Congress he’ll keep fighting to give the community that raised him a fair shot. After Tom Barrett raised costs on everything and prioritized working for himself and his insider friends, Michigan’s 7th District is ready for change and will elect proven fighter Will Lawrence,” said DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene.
Raised and rooted in Lansing, Will Lawrence has spent his life fighting for working Michiganders. From tackling corporate greed to protecting manufacturing jobs and leading the fight for affordable housing, Will has a proven track record of putting Michigan families first. Now, Will is ready to serve Michiganders and make sure Washington works for them, not corporate interests or D.C. insiders. In a midterm election year defined by voters’ anger with Republicans’ cost-raising agenda, Will is positioned to inspire record midterm turnout in Lansing and East Lansing, which make up nearly a quarter of the district’s voters. As Tom Barrett’s string of broken promises continue to ring hollow, Will is ready to step up to the plate and be the unbought, independent voice Mid-Michigan families deserve.
This is a Toss-Up district where voters continue to be frustrated with Barrett’s record of voting for tax breaks for the special interests including billions for big data center developers – and Will is building the coalition to flip this seat.
Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested DCCC program that arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue building winning campaigns. Additionally, through Red to Blue the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, fundraising support, and more. |
