My name is Hill Harper. I'm a card-carrying union member and I'm running for Senate to fight for workers, not shareholders.
This is a people-powered movement, so we don't have corporations in our corner.
Can you chip in to help us win?
I didnโt intend for a private phone call to turn public. But now that it has, hereโs the truth.
One of AIPACโs biggest donors offered $20m if I dropped out of the U.S. Senate race to run against
@RashidaTlaib
.
I said no. I wonโt be bossed, bullied, or bought.
For me, this isnโt about one person or one phone call. Itโs about a broken political and campaign finance system thatโs tilted towards the wealthy and powerful.
Iโm running for the U.S. Senate because I believe the wealthy and powerful have too much representation inโฆ
Many years ago I was waiting in an audition room to go in an read for a role (in a movie I canโt remember) for a young director seemingly recently out of film school. As I waited, actor after actor walked in to audition, my turn was next and at that moment in walked a toweringโฆ
We can all feel it: D.C just isnโt getting things done for people.
We need representatives who'll take on special interests, get money out of politics, and make our government work for all of us.
Thatโs why today, Iโm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate in Michigan! โ๐พ
His name was Ahmaud Arbery. He was only 25 when he was chased down and murdered by two white supremacists in Brunswick, Georgia. Arbery was unarmed, non-violent and broke no laws. โ

Today is the first day of Black History Month and currently Michigan has no Black Democrat representing our state in Congress. When I'm elected this November I will be Michigan's first Black United States Senator. Representation matters.
This was never about one phone call. It's about a broader, broken political system in which calls like this are even possible. We have to restore people's faith in the political process, and that means getting big money out of politics.
Michigan donor with ties to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee allegedly offered Senate hopeful Hill Harper $20 million in campaign contributions if he agreed to mount a primary challenge to Rep. Rashida Tlaib
Surprising vote: Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), running for the Senate, was one of only two House Democrats to back a GOP amendment last night banning Pride flags from the Pentagon.
My team didnโt want me to post my resume, but this is a job application after all!
We need fresh experience to perform a system overhaul in Washington to better serve the people, not special interests.
I'm a union organizer. I'm a single dad. I'm a small business owner. And, yes, I'm an actor.
But here's what I'm NOT: A career politician.
I'm running because the Senate needs more people with diverse backgrounds who will truly represent us.
Good morning! This campaign is powered BY the people FOR the people.
I want to hear from you so I can FIGHT for you. So tell me: what issues matter MOST to you? ๐๐พ
I would like to apologize for my post. I am responsible for what gets posted and I made a horrible error. I misgendered my friendโs child and I am so sorry to Zaya and the entire Wade family. It was not my intention to misgender and misrepresent her in any way. I celebrate Zaya.
I support a prolonged ceasefire extension.ย Urge your Congressional representatives to join this stance.ย I will always advocate for protecting all human life,ย especially for the most defenseless among us: children, the sick, the elderly & safely providing humanitarian aid duringโฆ
Happy Sunday, Michigan! โ๏ธ
Today and every day, Iโm thinking about the reason why Iโm running for Senate and the center of my universe: Pierce.
Pierce, this campaign is going to be tough for us.
But fighting for what you believe in is worth it, especially because I'm fighting for you.
Iโm running for Senate because I want to build a safer, better world for you. I hope to make you proud.
I stand proudly as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, and I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the Divine Nine for the exceptional work they do within our communities๐ซถ๐พ.

Another throwback photo to my Harvard Law graduation, one of the best moments of my life.
The past reminds us of where weโve come from โ but weโve got more work to do to believe in a better Michigan! โ๐พ
I want to thank everyone for the support weโve seen so far today.
Together, weโre building a diverse, people-powered movement thatโll take on our broken system and fight for real change.
Michigan, this is a new beginning.
Banning the Confederate flag from military installations was long overdue.
Banning the LGBTQ Pride flag โ the very symbol of diversity and inclusion โ is undeniably wrong. The Pentagon should ensure it is authorized, or as President, I will.
If I'm elected to the U.S. Senate, I'll be the ONLY senator who's a dues-paying, card-carrying union member, and one of VERY few small business owners.
People want to see themselves reflected in their representation, and right now Michiganders don't feel represented in D.C.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Samantha Woll. We are all crushed and so saddened. Sam is a beacon of hope and compassion in our community. A humanitarian above all else, Samantha's tireless commitment to activism and coalition-building touched countlessโฆ
Happy birthday to a true legend, my friend

THIS IS AN URGENT CALL FOR DONATIONS to provide clean water for the residents of Flint during the COVID-19 Crisis! Please watch & go to:
Workers arenโt asking for โperfectโ โ theyโre demanding fair wages & benefits in an industry with CEO pay on the rise.
We need to have the backs of working people, not suggest that theyโre being unreasonable.
I'm on the side of workers โ now and ALWAYS.

My newest role is my toughest yet: candidate for U.S. Senate.
But as a small business owner, cancer survivor and single dad, Iโve never backed down from a challenge.
Iโm doing this because our system will never change if we keep electing the same career politicians.

Michigan, this campaign is about believing in better for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. Itโs about making our government a force for good, and ushering in representation that fights for PEOPLE.
Are you with us?
If elected to the US Senate, I will be the only current union member in the Senate and I will fight to pass the PROAct and give the NLRB real teeth. Strong labor unions mean a strong America!
BREAKING NEWS: The National Labor Relations Board has scheduled a hearing for my case against Lake Michigan Credit Union for illegally firing me after my coworkers and I held a historic election where we established one of the first credit union labor unions in the country.
I'm calling for everyone running to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate to commit to supporting the Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act.
Elected officials should be working for the people, not their personal portfolios.

Michigan, I wonโt lie to you โ this is a TOUGH fight.
But I knew this before I decided to run. I knew some insiders wouldnโt like how we put people like you over everything else.
To me, itโs just a sign that our movement is WORKING.
A single paycheck from some of the wealthiest Hollywood CEOs could cover SAG-AFTRA and WGA's reasonable demands โ and STILL have money left over.
This isn't a matter of business. This is corporate GREED, plain and simple.

Politics as usual isnโt cutting it for Michigan.
Iโm running for U.S. Senate because the last thing we need is another career politician in office โ we need new voices, new perspectives, and a system overhaul in Washington.

The speech by President Biden and Amanda Gormanโs poem both brilliantly spoke to this moment.
Congratulations Vice President Harris.
Congratulations America.

Iโm running for U.S. Senate because Washington is BROKEN!
Iโve talked to so many people across Michigan, and itโs clear folks all across our great state โ nurses, teachers, construction workers, and more โ donโt feel like they are being represented in D.C.
Hill Harper, an author and actor, entered Michiganโs 2024 Senate race. He will run to the left of Representative Elissa Slotkin in what is set to be a closely watched Democratic primary race in a 2024 presidential battleground state.
