John,

Representative Shri Thanedar — the do-nothing Democrat being challenged by
working-class progressive Donavan McKinney — is spending taxpayer dollars
on TV ads.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet by Shane Goldmacher: Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) is using taxpayer
House funds to run this TV ad about the shutdown… “Every American must
have affordable healthcare, and that’s why I’m fighting in Washington DC,
even if it means shutting this government down,” he says in it.

Instead of hiring caseworkers or legislative staff that could actually
help Detroit families, Shri is spending his taxpayer-funded office budget
on ads that boost his own political profile. Let’s be real: these are
basically taxpayer-funded campaign ads.

Don’t even get us started on the fact that he’s spending taxpayer dollars
on an ad about costs being too high…for taxpayers.

This isn't the first time Shri’s taken advantage of his budget to put
himself first. He has a history of running TV, radio, and other ads
(including gaudy billboards like this one) to boost his own fame while
Michigan suffers:

Out-of-touch Democrats like Shri, who are more interested in vanity than
helping their working-class constituents, are exactly how our Party got
where it is today.

That’s why we've endorsed Donavan McKinney, a state representative running
to unseat Shri and bring real representation back to his neighbors in
MI-13.

Donavan is part of the next generation of Justice Democrats taking on
incumbents who refuse to fight for the working class with the vision and
urgency this moment demands. If we’re ever going to win Medicare for All,
a Green New Deal, or other big changes to level the playing field for
working families across our country, we need to elect leaders like Donavan
and send corporate shills like Shri packing.

support Donavan and the rest of our slate in their competitive primaries
next year?

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
