Detroit is tough. Our city and its people have weathered every storm. Some across the country have written off Detroit as a symbol of what America once was, but I see Detroit as a sign of what's to come. I am so proud to have grown up here and was blessed with a front row seat to the battles that men and women like my father fought in Washington on behalf of our city and country for so many years.
My father told me that many in Congress believe that the gritty determination which remains in Detroit is only symbolic of poverty and shouting from the bottom of the well.
He knew better and so do we.
I believe we need young and energetic leadership that emerges directly from our community. We deserve representatives in Congress who wield the institutional knowledge and insight required to champion the modern economy and facilitate the opportunities that lie ahead. We must ensure that Black students and entrepreneurs are given the tools to succeed and the opportunity to innovate right here in the 13th District.
We must stand on the shoulders of those who paved the way for us to create the next chapters, and I’m running for Congress to do just that.
Join me in standing up for the future. We appreciate your support more than you know.
