MI-13: Justice Democrats backing Thanedar primary challenger [View all]
A Michigan state House member has launched a left-wing primary challenge to Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), seeking to oust the two-term House member with the support of the progressive Justice Democrats.
State Rep. Donavan McKinney (D) specifically called out Thanedar in his announcement video on Monday, depicting him as out of touch with his constituents as a multimillionaire while his district is one of the poorest in the country.
“People like our congressman, Shri Thanedar, are the problem,” he said. “A multimillionaire who spent millions to buy a seat in Congress, who has more in common with Donald Trump and Elon Musk than people like us.”
Thanedar has defended himself against scrutiny of how he used his $1.9 million congressional budget.
