Candidate briefing
Rashida Tlaib represents Michigan’s 12th Congressional District. The first Palestinian-American woman in Congress, she is a fierce advocate for workers, tenants, Medicare for All, and an end to endless war and occupation.
Why Political Revolution supports her: she legislates from the ground up — with labor, immigrant, and neighborhood coalitions — and she does not flinch from hard truths.
