John,

Donavan McKinney is running for Congress because – unlike his opponent – he embodies what it means to represent Michigan’s 13th congressional district.

People from the district feel it. That’s why the Michigan Chronicle published a powerful article making the case for Donavan:

Donavan is MI-13 through and through because he’s lived the struggle. He knows what it’s like to be surrounded by polluted air, underfunded schools, and communities left behind by our rigged economy.

And now – when the Trump-Musk administration is launching an all-out attack on working people – Donavan is stepping up to fight back because he knows what is at stake.

We need Donavan in Congress because he has a track record of bringing real victories back to his community. As a state legislator, he represented the poorest district in Michigan. Despite the challenges standing in his way, Donavan secured millions of dollars for his community.

The Michigan Chronicle puts it best: From replacing lead pipes, to investing in rec centers and local schools, to strengthening community violence intervention programs, “His record is proof that leadership grounded in community experience can move mountains.”

If you can afford to, consider pitching in $5, 10, or more to fuel Justice Democrats and Donavan’s campaign →

Now let’s talk about his opponent.

Rep. Shri Thanedar is an out-of-touch multimillionaire who’s tried to buy his way into power every step of the way. He bankrolled his campaign with his personal fortune before taking even more money from Big Pharma, corporate defense contractors, and fossil fuel monopolies jacking up energy prices on consumers.

Shri cannot be trusted to fight for working Michiganders.

This campaign is about making sure the needs of working families come before the greed of the billionaire class. While Shri is an ultrarich hobby politician, Donavan is a proven fighter for his community who we can count on to stand up for the working class in Michigan and across the country.

Justice Democrats is proud to endorse Donavan McKinney. But if we’re going to take on a multimillionaire incumbent and win in next year’s primary, we need your help.

Will you split a donation of $5 today to help build the people-powered movement it will take to send Donavan to Congress?

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
