LANSING, Mich. – The end of January marked one of the strongest performing months for William Lawrence’s campaign for Congress since its launch.  Strong volunteer energy, fundraising and major endorsements signal huge momentum for the grassroots campaign heading into the 2026 election year.

“This year is off to a really exciting start and we’re just getting rolling,” said William Lawrence. “We’re the campaign that is bringing the fight to Tom Barrett by showing up and working for the people of the district. This district deserves real representation, not a rubber stamp for Trump’s disastrous agenda.”

To date, Lawrence has raised over $425,000 since his campaign launch in August 2025. In Q4, 42 percent of Lawrence’s itemized donations were from in-state donors – the highest in the Democratic primary race by nearly double.

In addition to a strong fundraising start to the year, in January, Lawrence’s campaign:

● Received the endorsement of the National Nurses United, the country’s largest nurses union with over 225,000 members.

● Held a volunteer barnstorm event that brought together 60+ volunteers – with over 200 volunteers signed up to support the campaign in total.

● Raised funds from the community to help eliminate $116,000 in medical debt for Michiganders.

● Announced the opening of a campaign office in Lansing – with a grand opening slated for February 7

“Across the district, people are standing up against AI data centers, ICE killings, endless wars, and a future that is being stolen by billionaire interests who have escaped accountability for too long,” Lawrence continued. “This campaign has the momentum because we’re meeting the people where they’re at whether that’s at a community fundraiser, in the streets of protest, or at their front doors in the neighborhoods where they live.”
