Who is Haley Stevens?
Haley Stevens is a progressive Democrat running to replace the execrable Dave Trott, the devil of Michigan mortgages, to represent Michigan’s 11th Congressional District. Trott saw the writing on the rampart and decided to quit congress.
“Haley served as chief of staff on the Auto Rescue which helped return the auto industry to financial stability and saved over 200,000 Michigan jobs. She has spent her career in economic and workforce development, creating jobs and bringing economic opportunity to communities throughout the Midwest.
Most recently she led a job training program and created the country’s first online certification program for digital manufacturing, which is already changing lives. She has led innovation programs across the country, helping small and medium-sized manufacturers grow. Haley is a frequent speaker on job creation by way of harnessing new technology. She launched a STEM education program which has exposed over 200 middle and high school students to digital manufacturing concepts and processes with hands-on teaching.” (Source)
Haley’s Priorities
Policy: Standing up to Donald Trump
“Now is the time for bold and courageous leadership. We must hold Donald Trump accountable for his lack of decency, corruption, open bigotry and attack on basic facts and science. I fully intend to stand up to the Trump Administration. I marched for Science in Detroit, I stood up to the racist and hateful crimes in Charlottesville, Virginia, and I got on the phone with community leaders when wrongful deportations were threatened against long standing residents of our district. I am here for decency, listening, and collaboration. I know we might not always agree. We must return to collaborative government and getting things done for the American people.” (Source)
Who is Haley’s Opponent?
Her opponent co-chaired the Trump’s campaign in Michigan. Her platform page offers no substance whatsoever. But she loves Donald Trump, she loves Donald Trump. Enough. #basta

Obama’s two biggest wins for Michigan: Obamacare and saving jobs for the Michigan auto industry: “We saved more than 200,000 jobs.” Protect and improve Obamacare:
Senator Gary Peters said this of Haley
“Let’s work to send a champion for Michigan manufacturing to Congress. Haley served as the Auto Task Force chief of staff and in Congress. She will work to secure the future of Michigan manufacturers and the auto industry.”
Why I support Haley Stevens
I’m reaching across to my neighboring congressional district because my home district (MI-13) selected Rashida Tlaib in our primary, and my district has an overwhelming majority of Democrats. Therefore, I do not need to campaign for Rashida. Haley is a progressive Democrat, and I want to see a Democrat take Michigan’s 11th congressional district away from the Republicans. Plus 1 for the D’s and -1 for the R's.
