By Congressman Tom Barrett
Serving as your congressman for Michigan’s 7th District is the honor of my life. As I take on this responsibility, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the trust you’ve placed in me to be your voice. I am committed to fighting for our shared values and delivering real results for mid-Michigan.
Mid-Michigan is my home. It’s where my wife Ashley and I are raising our four children, and it’s where I’ve spent my career in service — first in the Army, then in the state legislature, and now in Congress. I know the values that define our communities: hard work, personal responsibility, faith, and an unwavering commitment to family and country. These principles will guide me every day as I fight for you in Washington.
The challenges ahead are significant. Families across our district are struggling with the rising cost of living, the burden of high taxes, and an economy that too often feels stacked against working people. Our farmers, manufacturers, and small business owners — the backbone of our economy — deserve an advocate who will push for policies that support growth and opportunity.
That’s why I have opened my district office at 328 West Ottawa St., Suite A. in Lansing. My team and I are here to serve you—whether you need help navigating federal agencies, have concerns to share, or want to make sure your voice is heard in Washington. You can reach us at (517) 993-0510, and I encourage you to stop by or call whenever you need assistance.
As your member of Congress, my focus will be clear. I will:
• Fight for economic prosperity. We need policies that ease inflation, lower taxes, and help job creators thrive. I will advocate for common-sense solutions that put more money in your pockets and strengthen Michigan’s economy.
• Secure our border and protect communities. Washington has failed to address our border crisis, and it’s time for real action. I will fight for strong policies to secure our borders, uphold the rule of law, and keep our neighborhoods safe.
• Stand up for veterans and military families: I served 22 years in the Army and understand the sacrifices made by those who put on the uniform. As a proud member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I will work hard every day to ensure our veterans receive the care and benefits they have earned.
• Invest in infrastructure and agriculture: From fixing our roads and bridges to ensuring Michigan’s farmers have the resources they need to help feed the world, I will fight for policies that make our communities stronger and more competitive.
Above all, I will always put YOU first. Government should work for you—not the other way around. My office will always be open to hear your concerns, and I encourage you to reach out so that I can be the best representative possible for our district.
I am ready to get to work. Together, we can build a stronger future for mid-Michigan and our great country. Thank you for this incredible opportunity to serve you.
God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
