CANDIDATE BACKGROUND

Donovan McKinney  is running to represent Michigan’s 13th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. In January 2020, two years before his election to the State House, he made history with his appointment to Michigan’s first Environment Justice Council by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, where he advocated for water accessibility and affordability.

He has fought to fund over $600 million to replace lead pipes in Detroit and its suburbs.
