Friend,
When I knock down barriers, I make sure to keep the door open behind me.
That means not just encouraging and training women and people of color to run for office―but to support them when they do.
Today, I’m proud to endorse 8 candidates for local and citywide office, from Detroit to Dearborn Heights to Westland. Half of these candidates were part of our inaugural Rooted in Community Campaign School this year.
Each candidate has our district’s back—they champion issues that affect our families and bring attention to crises like water shutoffs, the need for universal healthcare, and worker protections. They're going to help make the changes we need.
It is crucial to build on our progressive momentum. And that involves electing people who are rooted in community and equipped to fight on behalf of the people. The candidates I've endorsed are ready to take on corporations and special interest groups, who have too much power in our majority-Black and low-wealth district. They're going to disrupt the status quo and ensure our voices are represented in government.

The 13th Congressional District raised me, and it’s an honor to represent my community in the United States House of Representatives.
Now, I’m excited to support some of my neighbors as they fight for transformative progressive change in the district, at every local government level.
