Donavan McKinney

We are proud to endorse State Representative Donavan McKinney for the U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District. Common Defense represents more than 500,000 veterans, military family members, and civilian allies committed to defending democracy and building a government that works for working people.

“Donavan McKinney understands what it means to fight for a community because he’s lived the same struggles so many working families face. He grew up in Detroit, organized alongside workers fighting for better wages, and has spent his time in public office delivering real results for the people he serves. Whether it’s expanding access to clean water, investing in public education, lowering costs for families, or standing up for workers’ rights, Donavan has consistently put people ahead of corporate interests. It is why we are proud to endorse him in his campaign for Congress.” —Jose Vasquez, U.S. Army veteran and Executive Director of Common Defense

“Michigan’s 13th District deserves a representative who will fight for affordable healthcare, good union jobs, reproductive freedom, and a stronger democracy.  Donavan McKinney has shown in his track record he will continue his fight. Common Defense is proud to endorse Donavan and we look forward to mobilizing our members and supporters in Michigan to help send him to Congress.” —Naveed Shah, U.S. Army veteran and Political Director for Common Defense
