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.

Just spoke on the Capitol steps about the No Budget, No Pay Act! If Congress can't do its job, we shouldn't get paid—simple! GOP is dragging their feet while people's lives are on the line! Time for ACCOUNTABILITY! Let's get it done, NOW! #governmentshutdown ... See MoreSee Less

That might hurt a few in congress, but most in congress already are rich enough that the modest government salary isn't enough motivation to do the budget.

Many members of congress can afford to go without pay. If this bill passes, this might be used by wealthy politicians to basically force less wealthy politicians into submission. If you want to really get attention from politicians, make the law say that politicians cannot accept campaign donations, cannot have any campaign spending, or really have any campaign activities. If the government is shut down, they should be spending their time trying to find compromise. You can limit other activities too.

What about the migrant crisis? I still have no Health Insurance, worked over 40 yrs

We desperately need a viable 3rd party

It's seems that the Republicans have become a legitimate threat to the people of the United States.

I just wish trumplicans would grow up and quit acting like juvenile delinquents and start trying to help americans

I remember the Dems 2x impeaching a sitting President, didn't hear y'all complaining about a shutdown then.

Shri I don’t think it’s MAGA republicans. Maybe jus republicans sounds more realistic to me! That’s like me saying extreme biden democrats are flooding immigrants into the country but can’t seem to fix poverty in our own? On top of all time high gas prices, inflation has risen to an epidemic level for anyone under middle class it’s sAd. And yet we keep sending unnecessary money to Ukraine…
