Meet Our Candidates

Representative Tom Barrett, a proud native of Charlotte, Michigan, is serving his first term in Congress after flipping a historically Democrat district red in 2024. Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, now rated R+1 by the Cook Political Report, remains one of the most competitive in the country—earning Barrett a spot on the DCCC’s official 2026 target list.

A U.S. Army veteran, Barrett served honorably for over 20 years, achieving the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. Prior to his election to the U.S. House of Representatives, he served in the Michigan Legislature as both a State Representative and State Senator for a combined eight years. In Congress, Barrett brings his deep commitment to public service to his roles on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the House Veterans' Affairs Committee.
