Now we’re talking!

Democratic candidate for Congress in Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District, Trevor Thomas, has scored a key endorsement this week from former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm.

I’m excited to introduce to you my friend Trevor Thomas, who is running to be the democratic contender against Rep. Justin Amash in Michigan’s 3rd District.

Trevor Thomas mulls throwing his hat into the ring in MI-03

There is no question that Congressman Justin Amash of Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District is vulnerable. As a self-identified tea partyer and with the popularity of the failed tea party agenda dwindling more every day, Amash’s own popularity is sinking as well.

Enter Trevor Thomas. Born and raised on the west side of the state, Thomas’ parents were both automotive factory workers. He has spent his life fighting for the middle class, working with struggling young people and and advocating on behalf of our troops. Now, it appears, he is mulling a run for the 3rd District seat.…
