Meet Dr. Rashida:Â
Meet Dr. Rashida:Â
Dr. Rashida Harrison is not a career politician
She is a working-class mom, a professor, and a lifelong advocate for change who has lived and worked in Michigan’s 28th district for over 23 years.
A progressive, Black feminist, and organizer, Rashida’s leadership is rooted not in ambition, but in accountability to the communities she serves.
Through her work organizing on campus alongside students of color, advocating for reproductive freedom, and mentoring the next generation of leaders, she has seen the contradictions of her district up close. Communities facing crumbling infrastructure, structural inequality, and economic hardship sit just two miles from one of the largest R1 research universities in the country. That gap is not accidental; it is the result of political choices made in Lansing. And those choices can be made differently.

As both an academic and activist, Dr. Rashida knows what makes a functional democracy: elected representatives voting for the interests of their constituents, not corporations. As working-class Michiganders struggle to pay for groceries, exorbitant gas prices, and rising energy bills, the corporate entities responsible for these increasing costs continue to reap the benefits of generous tax breaks.
Keeping Money Out of Politics
A Working Economy for Working People
As a long-time resident of the district, Dr. Rashida understands how the current economy is broken. In Ingham County alone, 44% of households sit below the ALICE threshold (meaning Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed). To no fault of their own, the income needed to afford basic necessities such as housing, childcare, food, and transportation has never been higher, while wages have continued to stagnate for decades.
Justice for Women and Children
As a mom in the workforce, Dr. Rashida has seen firsthand how working families are under attack right now. If we are going to secure our rights, take back our economy, and build a better future for our children, we must stand strong together.
