About Christina:

I am going to Washington to fight for working families like ours by lowering costs and bringing good-paying jobs to our district.

Michiganders are working hard, but our dollars aren’t going as far as they used to, and too many families are barely getting by. As a working mom, I know firsthand that raising three kids in this economy is not easy. I’m reminded of it every time the daycare and mortgage bills hit our account, we fill a prescription, pay the utility bill, or take a trip to the grocery store.

As a prosecutor, I know how to advocate for our community and take on powerful interests. When I’m in Washington, I’ll work to lower the cost of essentials like groceries, childcare, housing, healthcare, and energy. I’ll hold corporations accountable for price gouging, protect Social Security, invest in quality and accessible public transportation, including high-speed rail, and fight for healthcare that is affordable and reliable for every family. I will also work to increase the federal minimum wage and expand paid family leave, so families don’t have to worry about their paycheck when caring for a newborn or a sick family member.

We need a champion in Congress who wakes up each and every day focused on creating opportunity right here at home. America should lead the world in innovation in new technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain, while setting responsible guardrails that protect families, workers, and hard-earned savings.

I’ll support small businesses and entrepreneurs who drive our local economy, stand with union workers, strengthen manufacturing and innovation, support our defense and aerospace industries, and fight to bring good-paying, family-sustaining jobs back to our district and across Michigan.

As a mother and a prosecutor, the safety and well-being of our children has always been my priority. Ensuring our kids are set up for the future starts with improving education and making sure teachers and students have the resources they need to succeed in and out of the classroom. In K-12 and beyond, we must also invest in career and technical education to expand pathways for young people, so our children and grandchildren can stay, work, and build their lives and families right here in our community.

We must also prioritize physical and mental health and address the root causes of today’s biggest challenges affecting kids. I will fight back against big tech companies and harmful social media platforms that profit off intentionally addicting our children and exploiting their mental health.

I will also ensure state and local law enforcement agencies have the resources they need to combat the fentanyl crisis through increased border security, stricter penalties for the sale of fentanyl and other narcotics, expanded access to treatment and rehabilitation, and better job opportunities so fewer people are pulled into cycles of addiction and despair.

Our seniors deserve safety, dignity, and peace of mind. I will fight to end scam and spam calls from predators who target seniors, drain retirement savings, and prey on trust built over a lifetime. I will work to strengthen consumer protections, hold scammers accountable, and ensure seniors have access to safe, high-quality senior centers, in-home care, and nursing facilities so they can age with independence and respect in the communities they helped build.

I will also protect the vulnerable in all forms, including preventing animal cruelty and supporting humane laws that reflect our shared values of responsibility, compassion, and respect for life. I am determined to fight for our families and ensure that our children can grow up with the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities, or more, than we had growing up.

As the only candidate in this race who grew up and still lives in Macomb County, I know firsthand the toll that reckless policies coming out of Washington have taken on our community. Cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and education, the haphazard firing of federal workers, and the rollback of environmental protections that safeguard Lake St. Clair and our Great Lakes all have real consequences. When Washington acts carelessly, families here in Michigan pay the price.

I am a working mom of three. I’m a wife, a sister, and the daughter of autoworkers. I’m a Christian with a heart to serve. I’m a prosecutor who has spent my career standing up for our most vulnerable citizens. And I am deeply committed to protecting, championing, and serving the people of our community, not special interests or political insiders.

That’s why restoring trust in government starts with accountability. I do not take corporate PAC money, and I support a ban on members of Congress trading individual stocks, because no one should be able to profit personally from inside information while working families struggle to get by. 

I will fight to rebuild and strengthen the National Labor Relations Board and support pro-worker legislation like the PRO Act, so workers can organize, bargain fairly, and stand up for themselves without fear of retaliation. Strong unions and fair workplaces are essential to rebuilding the middle class here in Southeast Michigan.

We also need a federal government that protects communities instead of harming them. I will push back against Department of Homeland Security policies that destabilize families or target communities unfairly, and I will work to rebuild an independent, impartial Department of Justice where the rule of law is applied fairly, consistently, and without political interference. Justice should never depend on who you are or who you know.

Right now, we are facing an administration that is attacking constitutional rights and long-standing protections at every turn. I know how to weather difficult storms like this. With deep roots in our community and real experience holding powerful actors accountable, I’m ready to fight, and win, every single day for the people of Macomb and Oakland Counties.
