Jobs: the 26 billion dollars he says he won
What they say
His campaign says he has won 26 billion dollars in federal investment to create Michigan jobs.
“He’s won $26 billion in federal investment to create quality, Michigan jobs.”
What the record shows ·
His campaign site names no program. The figure matches a statewide one: on August 16, 2024, Michigan's environment department said the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 had brought more than 26 billion dollars in new investments to the state. His About page credits the Sunrise Movement, which calls him an original cofounder, with helping pass "the largest green jobs program in U.S. history". He has not held public office.
Why there is no assessment here
The state's 26 billion dollars is new investment across Michigan tied to that law, not a grant to him or to Sunrise. No record shows what share of it his work won.
Limit: His campaign site does not say which program it means. Advocacy groups can push for money they do not award or receive.
