Elect Callie Barr to the U.S. House of Representatives
August 24, 2024 | Posted In: Election Updates

As a mom and military spouse who was born and raised here in Northern Michigan, Callie Barr knows what it’s like to stretch a family budget and worry about the cost of childcare, gas and groceries.

When her husband, Matt, returned from Iraq with combat injuries, Callie, then a teacher, became his caretaker and saw firsthand the lack of support for returning service members.

Motivated to help other families like hers, she got involved in advocating for veterans and their families, got her law degree, and worked to connect veterans to free legal services they deserved.

Now, Callie is running for Congress to actually get things done for Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

As our Congresswoman for the 1st District, Callie Barr will be a champion for our democracy, middle class and our kids.

Callie Barr will:

Protect our democracy and provide real support for our veterans and their families.

Strengthen our middle class and provide real economic opportunities by bringing good-paying jobs back home, supporting agriculture and small business in rural Michigan, and fighting to ensure workers’ rights.

✓ Live in the district she represents and act on behalf of constituents who have not had a voice and have been ignored. That means showing up.

✓ Fully fund our public schools and make sure teachers and students have the resources to succeed.

✓ Expand access to healthcare, work to lower costs, and protect women’s healthcare from political interference.

Develop infrastructure for the future, including expanding and strengthening internet access.

Protect our Great Lakes and natural resources.
