Michigan, I cannot wait to serve you with the same big heartedness, open mindedness, grit, and earnestness that you've shown me.
You welcomed me into your homes, your churches, your synagogues, your VFW and union halls. You shared moments of frustration and sadness and vulnerability with me. You gave me grace and strength at my lowest moments and the hope and inspiration that powered my best.
I will bring it all with me to Washington in your service.

Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and be part of a bigger vision
Rise is growing, though slow, but they are gaining something.

Why is he talking about the EFF when it is time to account for what he and his stokvel didn't achieve? Weird. Unhealthy.
[WATCH] “The EFF had a budget, multiple music festivals, but it couldn't persuade more than 7% of voters despite being in government.” Afrika Mayibuye Movement leader Floyd Shivambu says they're happy that they planted a seed. #LGE2026
