I am running for Congress against Lisa McClain because I care about Michigan. I want to represent the people of my state. No PACs. No donations over 3 digits. Corporations are not people; money is not speech. New website coming soon

In Dec 2023, Rep. Lisa McClain said she’s here to “protect women, girls.”

But according to House records, she still hasn’t signed Rep. Thomas Massie’s petition to unseal the Epstein files.

NoKings Port huron!
Over 1250 Patriots who love America showed up.

Lisa McClain spent the week whining about Patriots using their First Amendment rights — calling them “hate America rallies.”

She’s just having flashbacks to her Proud Boy rallies for fascists.

Lisa McClain isn’t just “part of leadership” — she is leadership.
As GOP Conference Chair, she’s keeping Republicans from signing the discharge petition that would force a vote.
Johnson blocks with rules.
McClain blocks with pressure.
Both are responsible.

Representative Lisa McClain is losing it on X — calling other people “cult members” while she worships at the altar of Trump. Irony really is dead.

My goal is simple: give you the power.
Here’s how our district will decide every vote — together, transparently, and without party or PAC control.

A freshman Rep isn’t a “leader” — 1 vote out of 435. Most time spent at the DNC/RNC call center, meeting lobbyists, chasing committee seats. America needs someone who puts people first, not a party, not a lobbyist, just listens. #MI09 #NoPACsNoPartiesNoBS

Had a little fun with AI tonight and mocked up some campaign sign ideas.
I might’ve gone full McConaughey on this one 😂
Alright, ailright, alright — I’m voting Cartwright!
What do you think? Keep it or try something new?

Jasen Cartwright, 2026 Independent Candidate Michigan District 9 @jasencartwright.bsky.social · 5d

Hey, thank you so much. I'm just running because I want to tell the truth and do something good to try to bring people together.

A tool for AIPAC, Qatar and Trump.

Hey Lisa? Did all the lies get to you or something? Did you see Elon before this?

Yeah really. I am—because I actually know how to build systems that work. I'm a network engineer and Linux expert, so I'm applying that logic to democracy. The voters will decide how I vote, and who I caucus with. #MI09 #NoPACsNoPartiesNoBS

Jasen Cartwright, 2026 Independent Candidate Michigan District 9 @jasencartwright.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah I do, it's why I'm running.

Jasen Cartwright, 2026 Independent Candidate Michigan District 9 @jasencartwright.bsky.social · 6d

I'm not seeking influence over anyone. I'm applying to represent the people—going to DC to check the boxes for voters, not to make decisions for them.

If a 6-second mariachi GOP video ruins your day, I don’t know what to tell you. Clutch your pearls, man. #MI09

Jasen Cartwright, 2026 Independent Candidate Michigan District 9 @jasencartwright.bsky.social · 6d

Relax, it’s a 6-second AI joke where GOP leadership is a mariachi band — not Watergate. Clutch your pearls, man. #MI09

At least you are self-aware.

Grow a sense of humor. Everything doesn't have to be serious all the time.

Hey MI-09 — who’s going to a #NoKings rally?
Saturday’s looking good, so I’ll be out on the Kawasaki 🏍️ hitting a few spots to talk with folks who want real change — not political royalty.
I want to hear from you. Be safe, no violence, and use your 1st Amendment! 🇺🇸

Rep. Lisa McClain, Speaker Mike Johnson & House Republicans chose to honor this guy. Tells you everything — fake Christians. Jesus preached empathy; MAGA glorifies the one who hated it. Empathy makes us human. As an atheist, I’ll say it — maybe start asking, “What would Jesus do?”
