John,
Our campaign’s Program Director, Layla Taha, is running for State Representative and she needs our support. With control of the Michigan State House now tied 54-54, whoever wins this race will win a majority in the chamber. Re-establishing a Democratic majority in the State House means delivering for working families in Michigan.
Layla is a public health advocate with a community organizing background. As a member of my congressional campaign, she operates our youth engagement and campaign programming as well as workplace organizing trainings.
Now, she’s running her own campaign for Michigan State Representative, and her election is next month!
Can you rush a donation to Layla Taha’s campaign for State Representative and send a fierce advocate for working people to Lansing to fight for environmental justice, universal healthcare, affordable housing, and a livable wage?
Layla was raised by a single working mother and understands the challenges that working people face as we fight back against corporate greed. That’s why she isn’t accepting any corporate contributions, instead relying on grassroots support to power her campaign.

John,
A member of our team is running for State Representative and she needs our support. With control of the Michigan State House now tied 54-54, whoever wins this race will win a majority in the chamber. Re-establishing a Democratic majority in the State House means delivering for working families in Michigan.
Layla Taha, our campaign’s Program Director, is running to ensure everyone has access to quality healthcare, affordable housing, a livable wage, and clean water and air. Layla is a public health advocate and community organizer with an organizing background in voting rights and reproductive freedom. She helped enshrine abortion as a right in our state’s constitution.
If elected as the next Michigan State Representative, Layla will make sure that folks in Lansing prioritize people over profits. As Layla said upon the launch of her campaign:
"In my commitment to justice and equity I am not accepting corporate donations. I believe our elected representatives must be beholden to the people, not wealthy corporations and donors."
Because Layla is running in a special election, she has a short race and residents need to vote by January 30th.
Join me in supporting Layla Taha’s people-powered campaign for Michigan State Representative with a donation today.
As a member of our campaign team, Layla operates our youth engagement and campaign programming as well as our workplace organizing trainings, giving workers the tools that they need to organize unions in their workplace.
She was raised by a single working mother and believes strongly in strengthening the rights of all people, including working people.
Too many elected officials are millionaires who can self-finance their campaigns, and who don’t understand the needs of their constituents. We need more working people like Layla to run for office, who understand the struggles of everyday people and will fight for tenants’ rights, workers’ rights, and more.
Join me in supporting Layla’s campaign for State Representative today. She’s deeply rooted in our community and I’m proud to endorse her.
