I’m running because Michigan's 12th deserves leadership that works for all of us — not just the wealthy, well-connected, or loudest voices in Washington.
Too many families are struggling to afford basic necessities while special interests dictate the direction of our country. I believe we need bold, compassionate leadership that delivers real results — not just rhetoric.
I’m fighting for:
✅ Working families and the middle class — because no one working full-time should live in poverty.
✅ Affordable healthcare and mental health access — because healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
✅ Strong public schools and teachers — because our children’s future depends on it.
✅ Reproductive freedom — because personal healthcare decisions belong to individuals, not politicians.
✅ A fair economy — where we close tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy and reinvest in our communities.
✅ Housing people can afford — not skyrocketing rents and endless displacement.
✅ Environmental justice and clean air and water — because our planet and our communities can’t wait.
✅ Balanced foreign policy — that values peace, diplomacy, and human dignity.
This campaign isn’t backed by corporate PACs or political machines. It’s powered by real people like you — teachers, nurses, students, small business owners, and everyday families who believe our government should listen, not lecture.
We’re building something different — and it starts with you.
Will you chip in today to help us organize, reach voters, and bring real representation to the 12th District?
No amount is too small. Every dollar fuels our shared movement.
Thank you for being part of this. Let’s move forward — together.
