The MeidasTouch Podcast · Tim Greimel on MI House Race and GOP Attacks on State · 3 Apr 2026 podcast

Yeah, I was born here in the 10th district, grew up here, graduated from high school here.

And when I graduated from University of Michigan Law School, came back home to the 10th district and ultimately ran for and was elected to the local school board here.

became a union side labor lawyer, and then ultimately became the state house democratic leader in the Michigan legislature where I successfully fought to expand health care here in the state by expanding Medicaid coverage to provide health insurance to 700,000 uninsured Michiganders.

I successfully fought to increase Michigan's minimum wage and for the first time in state history, index it to inflation and really have dedicated my whole adult life

to standing up for hardworking Americans fighting for a stronger middle class.

And, you know, we've seen increasingly in recent decades that the rich in this country have gotten richer and richer while everybody else has been falling further and further behind.

And I've dedicated my adult life to trying to be part of the solution and try to actually make sure that we're bringing the American dream within reach of everyday people again.

Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, and it's sad, Ben, but you're not being hyperbolic.

I mean, I saw the same clip you saw that so many Americans have seen.

And we have a president of the White House who is profoundly out of touch with the needs and concerns of regular Americans.

And you hit on a couple of things.

You mentioned the tariffs, of course, and those have been incredibly punishing to regular people, to hardworking Americans.

You know, the cost of living was already high when Trump entered office and his tariffs have just made that situation all the more worse.

We see incredibly high energy costs.

We see skyrocketing health insurance premiums because of Trump's health care policies.

We see housing costs continue to go up and up and up.

And grocery store prices are still incredibly high.

I mean, I we often make chili in my household and I was out

watching the gas prices, of course, hit $4 a gallon here locally while I was driving to the grocery store.

And then at the grocery store, I was buying meat for our chili and hamburger costs $7 a pound now.
