Stock trading when you have access to insider information is unacceptable. It runs counter to the concept of service. If we are going to call it out on one side, we have to call it out on both.
When my primary opponent was Ambassador to Ukraine, she owned stock in lithium companies while she was involved in the diplomatic work to land a mineral rights deal between the U.S. and Ukraine. That creates the perception of a conflict of interest.
This polling makes it clear voters feel the same way. Michigan’s 7th District is one of the most competitive seats in the country, and we cannot afford to put this seat at risk this fall.
I’m running to restore trust in public service, put working families ahead of self-interest, and defeat Tom Barrett in November; and this poll shows I’m the candidate best positioned to do it.
NEW POLLING: When
#MI07 voters learn about Bridget Brink's history of stock trading and negotiating deals for Trump, she loses a flippable seat by 9 points — trailing Barrett 48-39.
After hearing about
@MattMaasdam's history of service, his lead over Barrett grows to 47-45.
