States Win for Jan Maino (MI HD 46)
Jan Maino is the Democratic candidate for Michigan’s 46th House District, bringing decades of experience as a licensed social worker, nonprofit leader, and community advocate in Jackson, where she has lived and worked for more than 50 years. Throughout her career, Jan has worked closely with families, educators, and health care providers to strengthen local support systems and expand access to essential services.
Jan has held key leadership roles in the community, including serving as a school board president, where she focused on improving educational outcomes and ensuring students and families had the resources they needed to succeed. Her professional background is rooted in helping people navigate complex systems—from health care to social services—giving her a deep understanding of the challenges working families face every day.
Jan is running on a platform centered on lowering everyday costs, strengthening public schools, expanding access to mental health care, and supporting good-paying jobs. She is positioning herself as a pragmatic, service-driven leader committed to delivering real results for working families across the district.
WHY THIS RACE
Michigan’s 46th House District is a competitive seat and key to maintaining and strengthening Democratic control in the state legislature. Winning here helps advance policies on affordability, public education, and health care.
This race also reflects broader challenges facing working families. Electing Jan would bring experienced, community-focused leadership to Lansing and help ensure government is responsive to everyday people.
WHY MICHIGAN
In 2022, Democrats secured a trifecta in Michigan and delivered meaningful progress on voting rights, gun safety, and reproductive freedom. After Republicans reclaimed the House in 2024, it became the central battleground in Lansing, ushering in a divided government and slowing further progress. With margins razor thin, flipping the Michigan House in 2026 is essential to restoring a governing majority and ensuring the state can continue advancing policies that protect fundamental rights and support working families.
