Priorities & campaign themes: “Too many politicians are focused on party politics and culture wars instead of the everyday challenges people here face. I believe it doesn’t have to be this way. I’ve been called a lot of things for speaking that truth, but I believe paying attention to what’s happening to working families and refusing to look the other way is exactly what real leadership requires.”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “I’m running to bring practical leadership, accountability, and common-sense solutions to Lansing so government works for people again.”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “Hi, I’m Katrina Manetta. I’m running for Michigan State House because it shouldn’t be this hard to get ahead—and because too many politicians say the right things during campaigns, then protect powerful interests once they’re in office. I’m running to change that.”
(Campaign website) Education & schools: “I was born and raised in Macomb County, and I still live here today. I went to Utica schools, graduated from Oakland University, and this community shaped who I am. Like a lot of people in the 58th District, I know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck. For the last eight years, I’ve worked as a server, balancing bills, rising costs, and the stress of knowing one unexpected expense can throw everything off.”
