Rashida is rooted in community. Rashida fights for all of us.

Meet Rashida

Due to redistricting, our districts have changed. Rep. Rashida Tlaib ran and was re-elected to serve Michigan’s newly-formed 12th Congressional District in Congress, which includes many communities in Wayne and southern Oakland Counties.

 

Rashida is known for her strong work ethic and direct services model to change the lives of her district’s residents immediately. The eldest of 14 children, Rashida has been taking care of people all her life. She grew up in Detroit in a UAW-proud family, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants—and now she is raising her sons in Detroit while fighting for families of all backgrounds.
