MI State Lawmaker's Home Targeted In Bomb Threat

Michigan state Sen. Jeremy Moss said his home was targeted in a bomb threat last week.

The high-ranking Democrat from Oakland County said he got a detailed message threatening him at his home with a bomb. Police quickly arrived and cleared the area, he said.

The threat came on the same day Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II (D) said there was a credible bomb threat made to his home.

"This current political environment is untenable. In the past few days, I’ve experienced a noticeable influx of bigoted, aggressive messages directed at my office and social media inboxes," Moss said. "We must reject this as the norm in our politics, especially after recent acts of political violence have claimed lives in Minnesota and Utah."

Both instances came just a day after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot to death at Utah Valley University.

Moss serves as President Pro Tempore of the Michigan Senate and represents Michigan's Seventh State Senate District, which includes parts of Oakland and Wayne counties. He is planning to run for Michigan's 11th Congressional seat in the 2026 election cycle.

"Democracy relies on the freedom to speak, debate, and disagree without fear of violent retribution," Moss said. "I won’t be intimidated from standing up and speaking out on behalf of Michiganders. Our voice and our vote are the most effective tools to end this toxicity in our politics."
