Health care: “My name is Hassan Nehme, and this community is home to me. I grew up in the Dearborn area. I didn’t spend my whole life planning on becoming a politician — I’ve been an Army medic, worked in healthcare and the automotive industry, spent time in corporate America, started businesses, and had to start over.”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “My father came here from South Lebanon. My mother came from rural Missouri, from a family with generations of American military service. I grew up with both sides of that story, and I eventually followed it into the United States Army myself.”
(Campaign website) Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Running a small business changes how you hear politicians talk. Taxes aren’t theoretical when you’re the one writing the check. Regulations aren’t words on paper when you have a customer waiting. That’s a big reason affordability and small business matter so much to me.”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “I served as an Army medic. When somebody is depending on you, you don’t get to ask what political party they belong to or where they came from — you have a job to do, and you do it. Government needs to get back to doing the basics well, and this district deserves someone who will show up that way.”
