Sister District for Betsy Coffia (MI HD-103)

Representative Betsy Coffia has served Michigan’s 103rd District since 2023 which includes Leelanau, Grand Traverse, and Benzie counties. As Vice Chair of the Families, Children, and Seniors Committee and a member of several others, she has championed expanded healthcare access, stronger student mental health support, reproductive freedom, and LGBTQ protections. In 2025, she underwent surgery for a benign brain tumor recurrence and a rare cancer, both caught early, yet continued her legislative work during recovery, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to her constituents.


Raised in rural Kalkaska County, Coffia earned her Bachelor of Social Work from Ferris State University and began her career supporting families and childcare centers across northern Michigan. Betsy made history in 2018 as the first Democratic woman elected to the Grand Traverse County Commission in over three decades. A graduate of Leadership Grand Traverse and co-founder of One Billion Rising Traverse City, Betsy’s background in healthcare, social services, and community leadership continues to shape her fight for families, students, and workers across northern Michigan.


WHY THIS RACE

Defending Betsy’s seat is key for the pathway to a Democratic majority. As a proven fighter with strong incumbency, she can keep Democrats on the offense and force Republicans to hunt for pickups elsewhere and keeps Democrats on the offense. This will be critical to flipping the Michigan House and winning back a blue trifecta in 2026.


WHY MICHIGAN

In 2022, Democrats secured a blue trifecta for the first time in nearly 40 years and delivered transformative advancements on voting rights, gun safety, and reproductive freedom. Heading into the 2026 midterms, Republicans now hold the State House by six seats (58R-52D). With a slim margin and an open Governor’s race, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Taking back the House would not only restore Democratic control of the chamber but also pave the way for a new Democratic governor to partner with a Democratic Senate and, together, that trifecta can once again deliver bold progress on reproductive freedom, voting rights, climate action, and economic justice—shaping Michigan’s future for a generation.
