WHY I’M RUNNING

Why I’m Running for Congress

Michigan’s 13th district is one of the poorest districts in America. A full quarter of our residents are living below the poverty line. Affordable housing, clean drinking water, and a quality education are out of reach for far far too many of our families…

I am here to listen and collaborate. I am here to bring people together as we work through difficult times. I am here to serve and stand up for working people.

MEET SHRI

“I will fight for social, racial, and economic justice”

Shri has been on the front lines with the Fight for $15 Movement because Shri worked minimum wage jobs through school to make ends meet…

Another school shooting, another heart-wrenching loss of innocent lives. It's time to stop the cycle of senseless gun violence. Our kids deserve to feel safe in school. Thoughts and prayers are not enough; we need to take action. Enough is enough. #nashville ... See MoreSee Less

So sad! My Grandson goes to MSU and his dorm room was right across from their shooting. They took shelter in the basement.

I agree, enough is enough..The madness needs to stop.

Enough!!! GUNs use to be for deer hunting. Now it’s to kill children and others! How the hell did this person get into this building? Another problem!! I’m sick of all of this!! Please do something!! I have grandchildren and great grandchildren…

RIDICULOUS!!!! THIS MADNESS MUST STOP!!!!! God Help Us ! The shooter was a female armed with 2 Assault Rifles, and a hand gun. WTF!!! BAN ASSULT RIFLES NOW!!! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It’s a shame that it’s not shocking anymore ! It’s everyday news now and it just shouldn’t be .

It's not going to stop until these guns are prohibited in the US. It's time for the good people of this country to admit that our constitution needs to be rewritten or ratified!!! It was only written to support white men. We are in different times and guns should be outlawed in this country except for law enforcement, period!!!

When do we fix this, as a country. This is crazy. Our babies are dying. ✝️♥️

NRA are paying our politicians so much that they refuse to do what is needed to implement gun control. Must vote them out .

They are never gonna let it happen it makes me sick🤬🤬🤬🤬

Government should take strict action about gun law, its very horrible to listen this kind of news again and again 😓

The republicans can’t even stand up to Trump. They will never stand up to the NRA. I used to be an NRA member until they became all about money.

I knew this country was beyond gone when we let a classroom of grade schoolers die, and did nothing. Then it happened to another grade school..and nothing, letting born babies die.

Hey, if you can't ban the assault rifle.... don't make the ammo for it. No ammo, no gun? Remember they banned the machine gun, switch blades, grenade launchers for home use, tanks for home use... etc. So tired of the thoughts and prayers... take action and make policy changes.

You are so right Enough is Enough

No other country has school shootings

Gun control now!

Teachers the next job losers Unbelievable How much are they gonna demand now I would not do it for gym Jordan’s salary

Why are they shooting children?

Can’t they learn from home now

So let's not act like thit's it's not the person's fault you know it's definitely the person's fault that person chose to go and grab that gun you can't you guys need to stop blaming the situation on the gun that gun can't do a g****** thing without you pulling the f****** trigger so it's not the gun's fault it's like kids fault because who's bully and I'm m************ kid and all of the parents involved in that situation for not being f****** parents and teaching your f****** kids how to f****** beat kids why is your gonna f****** not locked up to begin with Let's be honest I think that kids should the kids just f****** killed people should go to jail and both of his parents should be f****** executed on the spot

Australian gun law...now

Congress, DO SOMETHING!

Terrible

Horrific! Heart-wrenching! Thoughts and prayers? Bull Sh*t. Guns kill people. In action kills people. Thoughts and prayers kill people. Statics: Over 400 million guns in this country and only about 45% of the population own them. WTAF?

“What do you think about Line Five?” Edith asked.

“Shut it down” I responded.

It was so great to have Edith, Christy, and Sean stop by our DC office this morning. If you are in DC, please reach out - we’d love to have you come by!

Shut it down before we have another Enron disaster.

SHUT IT DOWN!

Heck yeah!

Shut it down! Potential hazard! Besides, nobody in Michigan benefits from it!

Please shut the pipeline down. Our water is not the place to get some oil ran through. Drill on our land not in Canada and ship it over our land.

Could you get together with Jack Bergman and get a gun control bill passed?

what are your thought regarding there currently being no law saying landlords must repair black mold in michigan? this is a new issue for my kids and I who are on section 8. seems unfair.
