Open quote Close quote I’m proud to endorse Katrina Manetta for State Representative because she has built her leadership around showing up for people. Katrina has been on the front lines of protecting democratic values, organizing over a thousand supporters of saving our democracy, and making sure communities have support and resources they need. That kind of hands-on, people-first leadership is exactly what we need more of in Lansing. She brings courage, integrity, and a deep commitment to standing up for everyday Michiganders, and I know she’ll fight to make government work better for the people it’s supposed to serve. I would be honored to fight alongside such a tenacious leader!

Alex Hawkins

Candidate for State Representative, District 55
Open quote Close quote Katrina Manetta is the kind of candidate who makes you believe things can actually change and then she goes out and changes them. Her passion is contagious, her commitment to Macomb County is unwavering, and she brings a joy to this work that reminds all of us why we fight. Katrina doesn't just show up—she lights the room up! I'm proud to endorse her and even prouder to call her a fellow fighter for our community.

Alisa Diez

Former Chair, North Macomb Democratic Club

Katrina is a strong Democrat. She is principled and disciplined. She will be a strong leader for her community and legislate with honor and courage.

Birdie Nash

Harrison Township Precinct Delegate
Open quote Close quote I am endorsing Katrina because it's clear that she cares for our community and state, and it's clear she will put the time in to make great things happen. Katrina will be a fantastic State Representative, and I am happy to support her.

Cardi DeMonaco Jr.

Former Eastpointe Mayor Pro Tem & Eastpointe Precinct Delegate
Open quote Close quote Katrina Manetta is the perfect candidate to help the Democratic Party transition to a new generation. She has been a wise, energetic, thoughtful and compassionate founder and leader of the Indivisible group Macomb Defenders Rising. She's enthusiastic, organized, brave, hardworking and gutsy. She has my full-throated endorsement in her campaign for State Representative!

Carole Chi

Sterling Heights Precinct Delegate
Open quote Close quote I've spent my career in community development, building job training programs, working on economic policy, pushing for transparency in government. So when I see someone who built a 1,300-person organization from scratch in Macomb County, I pay attention. Katrina Manetta isn't waiting for a title to do the work. She's already doing it. That tells me everything I need to know about how she'll serve in Lansing.

Charlie Cavell

Oakland County Commissioner, District 18
Open quote Close quote As a financial planner and someone who ran for Congress in this community, I believe working families deserve better representation. Katrina Manetta believes the same thing, and she's been proving it every single day. She knows what a $300 DTE bill does to a family's budget. She knows what it's like to rebuild when the system isn't built for you. Macomb needs that perspective in Lansing.

Diane Young

Former Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives (MI-10) & Community Leader
Open quote Close quote I am proud to support Katrina Manetta's candidacy for State Legislator because she represents the kind of leadership our communities truly need. She is a dedicated self-starter who leads with integrity, compassion, and a strong sense of responsibility to others. Her ability to listen, collaborate, and bring people together sets her apart as someone who is committed to serving the public with purpose. She understands that strong communities are built through cooperation, opportunity, and respect for every voice. Rather than focusing on division, she works to find common ground and practical solutions that improve people’s daily lives. Her commitment to education, families, and community well-being reflects her belief that government should work for everyone. She is not afraid to roll up her sleeves and do the hard work necessary to move our state forward. With determination, empathy, and a clear vision for the future, she will advocate for policies that strengthen communities, support working families, and create opportunities for the next generation. I wholeheartedly believe she will represent our community with dedication, honesty, and care. I am proud to endorse her and confident she will serve with the leadership and collaboration our state deserves.

Edlira Sako

Former Candidate for Macomb County Commissioner, District 7
Open quote Close quote I’m supporting Katrina Manetta because she gets it. She understands what everyday Macomb County families are dealing with: the cost of healthcare, concerns about safety, the stress of just keeping up. She listens more than she talks, she does her homework, and she’s not afraid to ask tough questions. We need leaders who are steady, practical, and grounded in reality. That’s Katrina.

Emily Busch

Former Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives (MI-10)
Open quote Close quote I am proud to endorse Katrina Manetta for HD-58. Authentic. Grassroots. Relentless. She’s restoring faith in politics here in Macomb and ready to win.

George Chapp

Warren Precinct Delegate
Open quote Close quote Over the past year, Katrina has built an incredible base of thousands of grassroots supporters all over Macomb County who are fed up with Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall and his enabler Ron Robinson as they have cut revenue sharing and district projects that communities like Sterling Heights, Shelby, and Warren were relying on to bring their tax dollars back home. I'm so excited to see her take the next step and run for office herself as lifelong resident of District 58 so we can take back the Michigan State House, and make Macomb County a place where working families don't have to struggle just to make ends meet. It shouldn't have to be this hard to afford the basics. It's time for us to turn the page to a new era in State House District 58, and the best way for Democrats to do that is for all of us to get behind the candidate who brings fresh energy and real support on the ground in the district instead of running the same tired Lansing playbook and candidates again and again.

George-Michael Higgins

Fraser City Councilman

Gwen Zollner

Shelby Township Precinct Delegate

Katrina is a very capable speaker and is sure to rise quickly in the political world — she is just the kind of leader we need in today’s political environment.

Henry Newnan

Warren City Councilman, District 5
Open quote Close quote I know this district, and I know what it takes to deliver the results we need from Lansing.

Katrina Manetta is my choice to serve us in Lansing.
