Candidate for the Michigan House of Representatives - District 2 - Get utility companies in check - Pass healthcare reform - Protect freedom for all

AI is an existential threat to our communities. Downriver understands the impacts of outsourcing jobs more than anywhere in the state and this is why we need elected officials standing with the people and against the AI threats.

ENDORSEMENT!!!! I am thankful for the endorsement of End Gun Violence Action. There are many responsible gun owners in our district, and we want to see more people be responsible with weapons and keep guns in the wrong hands off our streets.

There is a reason that I do not take corporate money and do not accept lobbyist meals. People are asking for leaders who can work in their interest and not in the interests of a mega-corporation. People are tired of politicians who say one thing and let a corporations money sway their opinions.

UNION ENDORSEMENT!!!! I am honored to have the endorsement of @uaw.org Region 1A. We are working towards a world where people's work is valued, and people can make it on one job to live with dignity. I will continue to be a strong advocate for labor workers in our district. Thank you UAW!!

I am focused on getting real relief for working-class families in Michigan. We have all witnessed "trickle-down economics" fail over and over. The State of Michigan leaves far too much money on the table by providing billionaire companies with breaks while our property taxes go up.

As a Democrat who is also a clergy member, it's important to remember that the way Christianity is being pushed by the far right is not what our faith calls for, and it is not what the framers intended. I am the only candidate in our race running on positive morals and ethics in this campaign.

25 years ago, our nation experienced one of its worst moments. May we NEVER FORGET those who lost their lives, may we NEVER FORGET what unites us, and me FORGET our petty differences. We all stand today to remember that we love this nation and stand for liberty and justice for all.

Thank you to Inside Climate News for discussing the data center project in Allen Park. The existential crisis we face in our world over AI and the influx of data centers in our communities is the exact reason we need leaders who can understand the distress of people and act.

I was thankful to go on WCPT 820 - Chicago's Progressive Talk to talk about our race. So many people in our district are uncomfortable with the cruelty of the republican platform, and I am welcoming them with open arms. Questions and all are welcome in our campaign.

ENDORSEMENT!!! I am honored to be endorsed by The Oath of Office. They have an intense vetting process, and having their trust means something. This endorsement reminds our community that I am a leader who listens to the people and will act on your behalf.

Today I marched with our Labor Unions in Detroit. I will be proud as our next State Representative to fight for the working class over the billionaire class. I will be proud to fight for a day where every worker in the state of Michigan can make it on one job.

I am always honored to share the priorities of our community with all who listen. As our next State Representative, I will advocate for all of our district and tell our stories no matter what.

ENDORSEMENT!!! I am honored to have the endorsement of Committee to Protect Health Care. Their work to put patients over profits is exactly what I am going to be working towards as our next state representative. Our healthcare system is not working, and we need to put patients first.

In the wake of events this week in our neighboring district, I will be someone that fights for religious freedom for all. As our next state representative I will protect our freedoms and freedom from religion creating law.

ENDORESEMENT!!!! I am honored to have the endorsement of the Michigan AFL-CIO. I believe that we need people fighting for working families over the interests of corporations. I will fight for working families every day to be able to sustain a life of dignity.

I will always forget for you and never in the interest of DTE. When you lose power, you should be reimbursed in full every hour. That’s why I don’t take DTE’s money. I can’t fight for you if they buy my compliance to their demands. No thanks, I choose the people every time!

ENDORSEMENT!!!! I am honored to have the endorsement of the Michigan League of Conservation Voters. This is a signal to our community that I am someone you can trust with issues like climate and our natural resources. On November 3rd, let's vote to get utilities in check and protect our state.

Bild

I am honored to continue fighting through the mess to represent us. Politics can seem incredibly messy and it can feel like most politicians can't focus on our needs. I will sift through the questions and barriers to your voice and center the things you have asked for help with.

ENDORSEMENT!!!! I am honored to have the endorsement of our next congressman from Michigan's 13th district. I look forward to a strong relationship with our U.S. Congressional leaders to deliver for Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Melvindale, and Southgate. Thank you Donovan!!
