Voters need to see on broadcast, cable, mail, and on the go who Donovan McKinney really is: a politician who sides with Republicans against Democrats, and who has been bankrolled by a big MAGA donor and interest groups.

1. The money: McKinney’s campaign has been funded¹ by MAGA donor Matthew Moroun, the price-gouging billionaire owner of Ambassador Bridge, who gave $1 million to Trump’s Super PAC in 2026². Additionally, McKinney has taken thousands of dollars in campaign donations from corporate lobbying firms³ for big banks⁴, Pharma⁵, Big Oil⁶, and tech giants⁷ who want him to do their bidding.

2. The votes: It’s not just who funds McKinney’s campaign; it’s how he votes against us in office. McKinney votes with Republicans, against Democrats, to oppose measures to make life more affordable. While people are struggling, McKinney voted against⁸ raising the minimum wage⁹¹⁰, against¹¹ expanding paid sick leave¹²¹³, and against¹⁴ creating more affordable housing¹⁵¹⁶¹⁷ – and he’s gotten it wrong on gun violence, voting against¹⁸¹⁹²⁰²¹²² cracking down on felons who kill children in drive-by shootings²³, like 3-year-old Messiah Williams, who was killed in Flint. McKinney, in 2026, voted against²⁴²⁵ increasing “penalties for shootings into occupied homes or cars, including life without parole if a child is killed.”²⁶ The bill package was named “Messiah’s Law” after three-year-old Messiah Williams, who was “shot and killed when gunfire tore into his home” in 2020.²⁷

Absentee ballots are mailed June 25, so voters will need to see who McKinney really is as they are casting their ballots.

Additionally, during the final weeks, voters over 50 need to read about how wrong McKinney is on gun violence.

Congressman Shri Thanedar’s accomplishments

Voters should also know that Congressman Shri Thanedar has been a fighter. He has stood up to Trump, ICE, fought for progressive policies, and fights for the district and delivers.

Shri is a member of the Democratic Progressive Caucus and supports ending Citizens United so we can pass bold, progressive policies like Medicare for All, taxing billionaires their fair share, and forgiving student debt.

Shri is leading the fight against ICE. He introduced the “Abolish ICE ACT”, introduced legislation to end qualified immunity for ICE agents, called for Secretary Kristi Noem’s impeachment, and fought an ICE facility in Romulus which was eventually shut down.

Shri is delivering for our district. He’s brought home millions of dollars to replace lead pipes, fund infrastructure projects and road repairs, and help create good-paying jobs. And he successfully helped 4,222 constituents resolve issues with Medicare, veterans’ benefits, and more.
