Friend,

If you missed Rashida’s big announcement earlier today, that’s OK! Click here to watch on Facebook Live.

From her hometown of Detroit, Rashida announced that she’ll be running for re-election in 2020.

She discussed how, with every vote she takes and with every bill she introduces or co-sponsors, it’s with a vision that's grounded in community.

She talked about how beyond legislation, every day, whether with residents in #13thDistrictStrong or in the halls of Congress, she’s fighting for us―for racial, social, environmental, and economic justice. And how together, we can fight hate with love and build a country for ourselves and our children where we can all thrive.

Thank you for always having Rashida’s back.

Lindsay Maas
Campaign Manager, Rashida for Congress

Friend,

I’m proud to announce that I’m running for re-election in 2020!

Click here to watch my announcement on Facebook Live today at 1pm ET.

I’m so grateful to you for believing in the possibility of someone like me serving in the U.S. Congress.

I ran for office to lift up the voices of people from Michigan’s 13th congressional district, which is the third poorest district in the country, and one of the most polluted.

Too many communities like ours have been left behind and ignored. While people are struggling to make ends meet and fighting for clean air to breathe, corporate polluters are destroying our health, homes, livelihoods, and communities.

I can’t wait to continue making our government work for all of us, not just the wealthy few.

Together, we’ve made history—after electing the first Palestinian-American woman to Congress and one of the first Muslim women, we immediately got to work building a constituent services program to serve the residents of Michigan’s 13th congressional district.

In 2019, we created four neighborhood service centers throughout #13thDistrictStrong. These centers have changed people’s lives, returning more than $500,000 to residents. While serving people’s immediate needs, we also introduced 14 transformative bills—and cosponsored many more—to address systemic injustices and lift people out of poverty.

Together, we’ll increase the minimum wage, address our climate crisis, ensure healthcare for all, fix our broken immigration system and criminal justice system, fight the root causes of poverty, and protect our rights to housing, quality education, clean air, and clean water.

It’s been an honor to serve you every day. Here’s to more in 2020 and beyond!

Rashida
