MI-07: Lawrence gets thumbs up from Tlaib in race for Michigan's 7th Congressional District

As three Democratic candidates face off for the nomination in one of the most politically competitive districts in the country, U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib announced her endorsement.

The Detroit Democrat gave her support to Lansing-area political organizer William Lawrence, saying in a statement Lawrence “represents the kind of courageous leadership that we all need right now.”

“Will has been on the frontlines in protecting our communities. He helped protect our unhoused neighbors against measures that would have violated our human rights,” Tlaib said. “Will has proven to do the work without the title. I’m proud to endorse Will because he will take on political corruption, so we can win quality healthcare and affordable housing and put a stop to endless wars.”

Lawrence has also won support from the Michigan 7 chapter of Indivisible, the Working Families Party and The People’s Coalition.
