John,

Our first candidate of the 2026 election cycle is here — and this campaign is already making headlines because it’s about something bigger: taking on the political establishment to build a Democratic Party that works for working people, not millionaires.

This is a big deal, John.

It’s our first primary endorsement in four years — after a cycle spent defending the Squad — and it reflects what Justice Democrats was built for: challenging the power of millionaires, corporations, and political insiders by electing working-class leaders who fight for all of us.

Donavan McKinney is exactly that kind of leader. A Black, working-class organizer from the Detroit area, Donavan knows what it’s like to struggle and still choose to fight — for his family, his neighbors, and his community.

This isn’t just about MI-13, but it’s about the future of the Democratic Party. Will it be bought and paid for by corporate donors and self-funded millionaires, or rebuilt by people like Donavan who know what our communities are up against and have the courage to lead?
