Meet Bridget Brink

<h3>A sixth-generation Michigander, third-generation union member, and proud Lansing resident, Bridget learned Midwestern values from her family: the value of hard work, the importance of doing the right thing, and the honor of public service.</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/a5820e8a-073e-4687-8b99-2b206ec1e7ba/b85d8630-fb73-41a5-a8bb-62fcdd84c78c/b85d8630-fb73-41a5-a8bb-62fcdd84c78c.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C93%2C1778%2C1553&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="30" variant="framed">After serving the American people for nearly 30 years in the U.S. Foreign Service, Bridget resigned as our Ambassador to Ukraine because she opposed the Trump Administration’s policy of appeasing Putin after he invaded Ukraine, the biggest threat to peace and security in Europe since World War II.At her core, Bridget believes our nation must remain a beacon of freedom. She believes that the chaos and corruption coming out of Washington is costing mid-Michiganders by raising the cost of living, cutting critical services, and threatening our very democracy. Bridget dedicated her life to serving our country and has spent decades making the hard calls, fighting for what is right, and delivering in the toughest environments.

Bridget Brink is a sixth-generation Michigander and third-generation union member who resigned as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine to speak out against the Trump Administration’s reckless and chaotic policies. Now she’s running for Congress to flip Michigan's 7th District and fight for what’s right for Michigan, and for our country.

She was confirmed unanimously by the Senate in 2018 to serve as our Ambassador to the Slovak Republic, and again in 2022 to serve as our Ambassador to Ukraine, becoming the first woman to serve as a U.S. Ambassador in a war zone. The Secretary of State awarded Bridget the Ryan C. Crocker Award for Outstanding Leadership in Expeditionary Diplomacy. As a Foreign Service officer, she rose to the rank of Career Minister, a three-star general equivalent.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Numero</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ngpvan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NGP VAN</a></li></ul>

Just as she was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer, she watched Republicans in Washington, including Tom Barrett, cut health coverage for 25,000 mid-Michiganders, gut funding to lifesaving cancer research - including at Michigan State University - and vote to make health care more expensive for everyone. Bridget is grateful the cancer was caught early and removed successfully, but her surgery would have cost over $100,000 without insurance. For Bridget, the fight for a future where every Michigander has access to quality, affordable health care is deeply personal.

LAST UPDATED: MAY 20, 2026Right after Memorial Day, as soon as possible, Democratic Primary voters in Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District need to see and hear on Lansing and Detroit broadcast, district-wide OTT/CTV streaming, non-skippable :30 and :15 YouTube, and digital, the following information:THE BRIDGET BRINK STORYBridget Brink is the granddaughter of a Lansing autoworker.&nbsp; Raised by a single mom and living with her grandparents to make ends meet, Bridget worked her way through college and entered the U.S. Foreign Service. For nearly thirty years, Brink fought for freedom and democracy, including serving on President Obama's National Security Council and as the first female U.S. ambassador in a war zone. For three years, Brink led the U.S. on-the-ground to defend Ukraine from Russia’s invasion. She resigned in protest of Donald Trump’s appeasement of Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin.&nbsp; In Congress, Brink will fight to end Trump's costly and chaotic tariffs, restore Trump's cuts to Medicaid, make health care more affordable, and protect democracy.&nbsp; While some talk about standing up to Donald Trump, Bridget Brink is the only one who has actually done it.After hearing the Bridget Brink story, Democratic Primary voters in Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District need to see and hear on Lansing and Detroit broadcast, district-wide OTT/CTV streaming, non-skippable :30 and :15 YouTube, and digital the following information about Matt Maasdam’s disturbing record:MATT MAASDAM’S DISTURBING, DISHONEST RECORD OUTSOURCING AMERICAN JOBSMatt Maasdam is running a false, desperate smear campaign to try to distract you from the real truth – his disturbing record of outsourcing American jobs overseas. Maasdam’s companies aren’t based in Michigan or have any Michigan employees – at all.&nbsp; Worse – Maasdam was caught lying about his company’s products – claiming they were a hundred percent American made.&nbsp; But Maasdam actually imported materials from China.&nbsp; And Maasdam was caught bragging about outsourcing manufacturing jobs to Guatemala, one of the worst violators of labor rights in Central America. **** Brink has been praised for her lifelong work protecting democracy and tackling corruption:“A powerful voice for reform, taking aim at government corruption” -The New York Times Matt Maasdam is using false attacks made by Trump allies against Bridget Brink after she stood up to Donald Trump’s chaos and corruption, in an attempt to win power for himself. The facts are clear: <ul><li>Bridget resigned in protest of Donald Trump’s chaos and corruption, and is the only candidate in the race who has actually stood up to Trump. She is running to hold him accountable, end the reckless tariffs, expand access to health care, and defend democracy.&nbsp; She is the anti-corruption candidate, with a plan to fight corruption.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </li><li>&nbsp;As a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Foreign Service, Bridget is the most heavily vetted candidate in the race. A two-time Ambassador, she was twice confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate.&nbsp; She held a Top Secret security clearance her entire career, faced persistent cyber attacks for her positions fighting corruption, and had no involvement negotiating Trump’s mineral deal with Ukraine.&nbsp;</li></ul>

My grandfather graduated from Charlotte High School before working at the old Oldsmobile plant in Lansing. My mom was born at Sparrow Hospital and became a first-generation college graduate at Michigan State University. I'm proud to call the 7th District home, and I'm running to be a champion for our community in Congress so everyone in mid-Michigan has the opportunity to achieve the American Dream."<img src="https://run.imgix.net/a5820e8a-073e-4687-8b99-2b206ec1e7ba/bd4eed55-756e-45e6-ade9-d62971b577f2/bd4eed55-756e-45e6-ade9-d62971b577f2.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C152%2C2000%2C321&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="30" tiltdirection="left" variant="base"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/a5820e8a-073e-4687-8b99-2b206ec1e7ba/f741235e-9722-4239-a17e-ef89d28dc5e5/f741235e-9722-4239-a17e-ef89d28dc5e5.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=91%2C0%2C3016%2C1800&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="50" variant="base">Our district, MI-07, encompasses all of Clinton, Ingham, Livingston, and Shiawassee Counties, the majority of Eaton County, as well as parts of Genesee and Oakland Counties.

Brink: “Our clear momentum shows that mid-Michigan families are fed up with the chaos coming out of Washington and ready to fight to lower costs, fix our broken health care system, and defend our democracy.”LANSING, MI – With just over 100 days until the Democratic primary in Michigan, Bridget Brink is the strongest candidate to win in August and November.
