Callie Barr for Congress (MI-01) @calliebarr.bsky.social · Jul 8
I’m Callie Barr. I’m running for Congress because MI-01 deserves a representative who shows up and listens, someone rooted here, who works hard and puts people first. Let’s have real conversations to plan for a future we can actually afford.

Now introducing, the 25 days of an Affordable LIFE Advent Calendar. Here is my wish list for MI01 this season.

December 1st, 2025 - Extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Subsidies

Essential Care matters. Access to hospitals, life-saving medication, and compassionate treatment should never depend on your ZIP code.

An Affordable LIFE means ensuring every community has the care they need.

Bergman's gone AWOL! Jack Bergman hasn't attended a public town hall in 8 years, 7 months, and 10 days!

Let's choose leadership that actually shows up for Upper and Northern Michigan.

Many families will have an empty chair at the table this Thanksgiving — a loved one serving far from home. To all our service members and their families: thank you for your sacrifice. We’re thinking of you.

As we head into Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for my family and for the strength, resilience, and kindness of the people of Upper and Northern Michigan. From our veterans to our small-business owners, to every family gathering around a table this week — thank you for being the heart of our community.

Thank you to every essential worker spending this holiday serving others instead of being home with loved ones.
You deserve more than appreciation. You deserve fair pay, safe conditions, and an economy that works for you.

That's why I'm fighting for an Affordable LIFE. #MI01 #LIFE

Northern Michigan is where I call home, so it's hard to pick only a few of the places and events that I enjoy (because there are a lot), but here are a few that every Michigander should experience.

From Marquette to Iron Mountain, Sault Ste. Marie, Gladstone, Escanaba, and Mackinac Island, communities across the U.P. are kicking off Thanksgiving with Turkey Trots that raise money, food, and awareness for local causes.

Essential Care means protecting rural hospitals, lowering drug prices, reforming insurance, and ensuring veterans get the benefits they’ve earned. MI-01 deserves better.

Visit www.callieforcongress.com and see how we can improve Essential Care in Michigan's 1st Congressional District.

As a mom, I see the impact of rising costs and unhealthy additives. It’s time to support our farmers, expand mobile markets, end harmful tariffs, remove harmful chemicals from our food, and reverse SNAP cuts.
