Debbie is fighting to keep good-paying jobs in the United States by supporting our domestic manufacturing industry, including the automotive industry in Southeast Michigan. For too long, poor trade deals, outsourcing, and the decline of unionization have hollowed out the industrial base. Rebuilding American manufacturing and protecting workers will always be one of her top priorities. This includes by also renegotiating the USMCA, and ensuring tariffs are implemented in a way that helps–and not harms–our domestic industries. She’s also committed to ensuring that emerging companies and entrepreneurs in the region have the opportunities and resources needed to explore innovative business ideas and position themselves for future success.

She is fighting to ensure your taxpayer dollars are being used to lower the high cost of living, fix the broken healthcare system, and clean up corruption. Learn more

Debbie firmly believes you should be able to go to the doctor when you need to go to the doctor and get the medicine and treatment you need. When you have been prescribed life-saving drugs, you shouldn’t have to ration doses just to afford them. That’s why Debbie is a Co-Chair of the Medicare for All Caucus and a House lead of the Medicare for All Act. She is fighting to protect pre-existing condition protections gained through the Affordable Care Act, and is working to pass multiple pieces of legislation with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to lower the costs of prescription drugs, speed up access to treatments, and ensure there is a strong healthcare workforce ready to provide the critical services patients rely on in every community.

Debbie has also long been a strong advocate for comprehensive immigration reform in Congress. She co-sponsored the Keep Families Together Act and the Family Reunification Act. Learn more
