Christina Hines was raised in a middle-class family in Macomb County. She began her career in the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office in 2014, where she handled some of the toughest cases in Michigan, including homicides, robberies, torture, and domestic violence. In 2021, Hines became Chief of the Special Victims Unit and Appeals in the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office. She led efforts to improve how communities respond to sexual assault, implemented trauma-informed interviewing and best practices for child victims, and trained dozens of law enforcement officers across Michigan. Hines also helped launch a restorative justice diversion program that gave survivors and offenders a path to resolution outside the courtroom. She has a domestic-focused platform, saying she is a “Mom on a Mission fighting to lower costs, protect families, and defend our democracy.” In Congress, she plans to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks, fight for an impartial Department of Justice, and lower the cost of essentials like groceries, childcare, housing, and healthcare.
