Issue Position
Be it our multimillionaire Congressman who bought this seat with his own money or the corporate and right-wing Super PACs that will spend millions to support him, the future of our democracy demands we put an end to this corruption.
Issue Position
Here are some of the things I plan to fight for us in Washington: As a proud former member of SEIU Healthcare Michigan, I know personally just how important unions are to our city’s history, our workers, and building the fair economy we all deserve.

In Congress, I will push to pass bills like the EACH Act, which would repeal discriminatory laws such as  the Hyde amendment.
Issue Position
Economically, the United States annually spends more on prisons than it does on schools — an allocation of resources that only causes the school-to-prison pipeline to strengthen, as more students are left behind and less equipped to achieve economic security through traditional education or careers.

62% of those who are held in jails, away from their loved ones and community, are only there because they can’t afford the tens of thousands of dollars that our cash bail system requires in order for their freedom — even though they have not yet been found to have committed any crime.

I am committed to doing all that I can in Congress to transform the criminal justice system.

It includes reallocating funding to invest in social, health, and rehab services so that we are able to reach people who are at risk of incarceration before they end up stuck in the system.

It also includes reforming sentencing guidelines, ending the school-to-prison pipeline by investing in quality public education and wrap-around services for all our youth, ending qualified immunity, and much more.
Issue Position
Donavan wants to ensure Washington does the same for every Michigan family.

No one should have to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet — let alone barely survive.

Raising taxes on billionaires and corporations could fund crucial investments our community needs for housing, education, clean air & water, fair paying jobs and healthcare.

Don’t let anyone tell you we can’t fund our people’s most basic needs while the Elon Musks of America have managed to pay $0 in income taxes.
Issue Position
Letting corporations control our housing market is what led to the 2008 recession and our current crisis.
Issue Position
No matter their race, gender, zip code, or religion, everyone is feeling the effects of decades of defunding and GOP attacks on our public schools.

As a proud product of Detroit Public Schools, my mom had to send me to a school that took me an average of two hours to get to every day  on the bus, just to ensure I got a quality education.

Every family deserves a well-funded, fully-invested public school in their community that they are eager to send their kids to.

This is not a reflection of our people, but a reflection of our politicians’ refusal to prioritize the federal investments we need to support our kids.

I’m going to Washington to put federal dollars back in our public schools; to invest in paying our teachers higher wages, nationwide universal free school lunches, expanding early child care resources, providing universal free pre-kindergarten, and broadening the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to fully fund equitable education for all children.

We also need better federal funding for youth programming so every child can benefit from the community centers, mentorship, and programming opportunities that saved my life years ago.

But federal investments in quality, public education cannot stop at high school.
Issue Position
It’s time to break the cycle and understand that we need a solution as large as the climate crisis itself.

A Green New Deal transitioning to 100% clean and renewable energy, would  protect our planet’s future and create millions of good-paying green union jobs in Michigan.

It’s also a more efficient and sustainable source of energy that will lower energy requirements and consumer costs, while improving our community’s health and cleaning our air & water.
Issue Position
In order to do so, we must repeal the Faircloth Amendment that has put a federal limit on public housing spending for 25 years.

We need a massive investment of federal resources driven by human need—not real estate profits.

In Congress, I will oppose the bottomless and unconditional funding of weapons and bombs because we cannot keep funding human rights violations and war crimes with our taxpayer dollars.
Issue Position
We must also resume funding for UNRWA and other NGOs that aim to help end the famine, ensure full access to high-quality medical care, and provide full access to humanitarian aid for Palestinians.
Issue Position
By putting essential abortion care out of reach for marginalized and low-income communities, these kinds of laws only exist to punish people for being poor.

Leading with diplomacy, our nation’s greatest foreign policy asset — not bombs and weapons.
Issue Position
In Lansing, I’ve fought and delivered for this community as your State Representative, but I can no longer sit on the sidelines while I watch this Congress and our Congressman do nothing in the face of the Trump-Musk administration.
Issue Position
As a former leader within SEIU Healthcare Michigan, I know our families cannot afford anything less than Medicare for All, which would ensure everyone in this country has healthcare — no matter their employment status, zip code, race, gender, sexuality, or disability.

Medicare for All would include coverage for dental, vision, mental health, reproductive health and abortion care.

It would also include community-based long term support services, ensuring hundreds of thousands of disabled people are able to finally get the home care they need.
Issue Position
), Donavan worked as a leader of SEIU Healthcare Michigan and currently serves as State Representative where he is delivering tangible results for everyday people.
Issue Position
I support a national homes guarantee that would give every Michigander safe, sustainable, and permanently affordable housing.

We could build 8.5 million new public housing units, fund local development of 3.5 million new private, permanent affordable housing projects, and fund billions for public housing repairs, climate resiliency, and critical infrastructure upgrades throughout the country.
Issue Position
We need to protect all tenants with better federal protections including nationwide rent control to cap annual rent hikes from corporate real estate conglomerates, just-cause eviction protections to stop baseless evictions, federal right to counsel legislation so every renter facing eviction has a lawyer, and strengthening tenant unions so tenants have the power to defend themselves against greedy and predatory landlords.

We must ensure that rent is affordable and accessible to everyone, and that renters aren’t price-gouged by greedy landlords who exploit our housing shortage and the economic insecurity of our community in order to increase their own profits.
Issue Position
These are not normal times and the Democratic Party must be a party that includes all of us, fights for all of us, and opposes this agenda of mass deportations, internment camps, and the criminalization of immigrant communities.

We need a pathway to citizenship for all immigrants, tackle the bureaucracy that makes immigrating to this country so difficult, reform our asylum process, shut down for-profit detention centers, and not turn our back on refugees fleeing danger and disaster.
Issue Position
And one critical aspect of that for us in metro Detroit is investment to build and expand public transit, so people have the freedom and mobility to get to work, go to the supermarket, and pick up their kids without having to buy a car and pay some of the highest car insurance rates in the country.

Instead, those dollars can be better spent here at home on urgent needs in our communities — from aging infrastructure to housing to ensuring our veterans get the job opportunities and healthcare they have earned.
Issue Position
As a result, we spend nearly $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars every year to line the pockets of corporate defense contractors and to wage endless wars abroad.
Issue Position
Donald Trump ran a campaign of divide-and-conquer, attempting to turn our communities against each other, to distract us from the fact that the people actually stealing our jobs and making us unsafe are the corporations and billionaires he’s cutting taxes for.
Issue Position
Abortion rights have been gutted and continue to be under attack by the far-right across this country.

Despite the disastrous Dobbs decision from the right-wing extremists on the Supreme Court, Washington cannot stop fighting to protect our reproductive freedom and fight back against the continued GOP attacks on our abortion rights.

We must codify abortion rights at the federal level and particularly protect access to medication abortion nationwide as Republicans focus their attacks on gutting access even in states that have protected abortion care like Michigan.

We know that reproductive freedom is not just a healthcare issue — it’s an economic and racial justice issue, too.

Republicans’ forced birth agenda forces families into situations they cannot afford, while the same politicians cut the critical funding to Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits that lessen financial burdens on families.
Issue Position
Pursuing a higher education of any kind should not be a financial death sentence for anyone.
Issue Position
But for decades, we’ve watched corporations and their paid-for politicians gut our unions and their power, while billionaires only get richer and pay even less in taxes.

While billionaires have rigged the system to create massive income equality in Michigan and nationwide, everyone deserves money in their pocket through a universal basic income.
