For Slotkin, standing by her beliefs is more important than appeasing those who stand before her, regardless of whether it serves her image or career. No doubt that is one of the reasons why President Barack Obama kept her on his national security staff. No matter who the president was, Slotkin stepped up to serve our country.

Even if we disagree on some points, Slotkin has always put the task of public service above himself. She helped pass historic legislation to support our veterans, combat the influence of the Chinese Communist Party and ensure the security of our nation – all while reaching across the aisle to find common ground. I know she will take the same approach to representing all of Michigan.
