People Over Power
Shelby’s not a career politician. She broke the generational chains to the assembly line and chose
Leadership should reflect the real lives of the people it serves.
Strong communities are built when people, not corporations, come first.
Government should protect what sustains our neighborhoods and families.
I was raised in a working-class household where hard work wasn’t a slogan—it was survival. I’ve worked in the service industry and on the assembly line, and I come from a third-generation UAW family that taught me early on what real solidarity means.
Raised in a working-class household
Worked in the service industry and on the assembly line
Third-generation UAW family
Became a mother
Pursued law school
Chose to run for Congress
I am a working-class woman, a mother, and a third-generation union member who has lived the outcomes of policies made without people like us at the table.
I know what it means to clock in, to raise a family under economic pressure, and to watch decisions made far away ripple through our lives with no accountability. That’s why I’m running for Congress — to bring real-world experience, transparency, and working-class values into a system that has long prioritized profit over people.
This campaign is funded by everyday people, not lobbyists or billionaires. It’s about collective power, shared responsibility, and leadership that actually reflects the communities it serves.
A bold agenda to make District 13 affordable, safe, and built for everyone
Detroit hasn’t had leadership that reflects the reality of working mothers for decades, and it’s time women who raise families and live these systems every day help shape the policies that govern them.
Education should help children become capable, critical thinkers not just conditioned test-takers by investing in real support, accountability, and environments where kids can succeed.
Workers in industries like serving, bartending, and other tipped or gig jobs have been ignored for too long, and expanding union protections is essential to ensuring dignity, stability, and fair pay.
Housing is a human right, not a corporate asset, and we must stop investors from buying up homes and displacing families who built these communities.
Physical health, mental health, education, and economic stability are deeply connected—and when people are overworked, underpaid, and unsupported, entire communities suffer.
Corporate money blocks real progress. By removing money from politics and prioritizing public accountability, we can finally build systems that protect our environment, our communities, and future generations.

I’m Shelby Campbell — a 31-year-old single mom, former assembly line worker, and proud third-generation UAW member. I’ve served tables, raised my boys, and fought through broken systems built to leave people like us behind.
Now, I’m running for Congress in Michigan’s 13th District to put working families, not corporate donors, at the center of our democracy. My campaign is about community over corporations, compassion over cruelty, and people over profit.
