“My name is Justin Onwenu. I’m a fourth generation Detroiter dedicated to fighting for a Michigan with higher wages, lower costs, stronger neighborhoods, and a government that works for all of us.” (Campaign website)

& Priorities: “No matter our background, most Michiganders want the same basic things: lower costs, vibrant neighborhoods, and a government that works for all of us. From defending our communities in the face of federal chaos and funding cuts to making big choices about Michigan’s future, the decisions we make over the coming years will shape our state for decades.” (Official campaign website)

“I am deeply passionate about enacting meaningful public policies that directly improve our daily lives. My top priorities focus on reforming our tax structures to give families relief, fostering strong job growth, and expanding affordable housing options. I am equally committed to investing in high-quality education for our children and ensuring strong public safety initiatives so that every neighborhood in our community can thrive.” (Campaign website (via Ballotpedia))

“Our community is facing an affordability crisis, and it is time for a government that puts working families first. I am committed to directly lowering everyday cost by tackling the skyrocketing prices of housing and rent, making quality childcare accessible, and delivering real tax relief.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“Most importantly, we must protect those who built our community; I will fight to lower property taxes and freeze hem for our seniors, so they are not priced out of their own homes.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
