MEET MIKE
A third-generation Michigander, Bouchard’s story is forged in Michigan’s backbone of service. His father, Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, has spent more than 38 years protecting families across Southeast Michigan. After serving in the army during World War II, his grandfather worked for 33 years at General Motors, part of the generation that built America’s “Arsenal of Democracy” and powered Michigan’s middle class, retiring from a facility located in Warren, Michigan.
A graduate of Michigan State University’s ROTC program, Bouchard served in both the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, including missions to the Southern Border and Iraq. He previously served as Chief Operations Officer for a 1,200-soldier infantry battalion in the Michigan Army National Guard, and most recently as a member of a joint task force in the global fight against ISIS, earning the Bronze Star for his leadership.
Now, after nearly a decade in uniform, Mike is stepping up to fight for the communities that built him. Grounded in faith, family, and country, Captain Mike Bouchard represents a new generation of leadership — one that still believes in duty, honor, and discipline.
FUEL THE FIGHT — STAND WITH CAPTAIN BOUCHARD
WHERE MIKE STANDS
Economy
Macomb County is the engine of our economy — the Arsenal of Democracy — and a symbol of American strength. We make great things here in Michigan, and we need to keep it that way. Our workers built the middle class, powered American industry, and helped win two world wars.
I support President Trump’s efforts to protect Michigan manufacturing, defend American jobs, and ensure that our workers — not China or Washington bureaucrats — shape the future of our economy. That means bringing manufacturing jobs back home and cutting red tape that crushes small businesses.
When we put American workers first, we build a stronger, more secure future for our families. Together, we can keep building things, creating opportunities, and making America stronger than ever.
Having deployed to the Southern Border during President Trump’s first term, I saw firsthand the sophistication of the cartels that smuggle deadly fentanyl into our country and poison our communities. What I witnessed wasn’t just a crisis — it was a national security emergency. Border Patrol is fighting a battle against well-funded criminal networks, and Washington must give them the tools, technology, and policies they need to win.
I stand for finishing the wall, restoring the “Remain in Mexico” policy, and ending catch-and-release once and for all. We must secure the border, stop the flow of illegal drugs, and deport criminal illegals who endanger our citizens. Security starts with controlling who comes into our country, protecting our communities, and putting American families first.
Immigration & Security
Our schools are supposed to teach kids the basics — reading, writing, math, and science — and prepare them for the future. But too many schools have lost focus. Test scores are falling, teachers are overwhelmed, and politics have crept into the classroom. That needs to change.
I’ll fight to get our schools back to the basics and make sure every child has the tools to succeed — whether that means learning a trade, going to college, or starting a business.
In Congress, I’ll back a Parents’ Bill of Rights, so moms and dads always have a say in what their kids are being taught. Parents should be partners in education, not kept in the dark.
