Ranjeev Puri is an incumbent Democrat seeking re-election for his third term in the Michigan House of Representatives. He serves as the House Majority Whip and serves on multiple appropriations subcommittees, including as chair for the subcommittee on Transportation. Before running for office, Puri was a community organizer and worked for President Barack Obama. As the son of immigrants, Puri is an advocate for inclusion, equity, and equality.
Puri served in a historic legislative session with a Democratic majority that took major strides forward on key progressive issues. The Democratic majority passed the Reproductive Health Act, ensuring all Michiganders can make their own decisions about how and when to start a family, gave Michigan's kids free school breakfast and lunch and additional funds to support our students, and passed common sense gun violence prevention measures. Putting hard-working Michiganders' first, they also quintupled the Working Families Tax Credit, got rid of the retirement tax, and got rid of so-called "right to work" anti-worker legislation to ensure workers have bargaining power to stand up to greedy corporations. Puri also helped expand the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and codify parts of the Affordable Care Act into law that protect LGBTQ+ Michiganders from discrimination in healthcare, housing, and the workplace.
Puri believes in creating an economy that works for all, where wages meet the cost of living, and housing is affordable. Puri is fighting for families by pushing policies like paid parental leave, prioritizing public education over for-profit charter schools, and fighting to prevent gun violence. Puri also wants to work on government transparency, ensure health care is accessible and affordable, and create and support policies to keep the Great Lakes protected and our air and water clean. He will fight to support workers’ rights, ensure equality for the LGBTQ+ community, and protect reproductive freedom.
Puri has been endorsed by the following progressive partner organizations: American Federation of Teachers - Michigan, Equality Michigan Action Network, Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan Association for Justice, Michigan Education Association, Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, Service Employees International Union - Michigan, and Sierra Club - Michigan.
Puri is running against Republican Leonard Scott who holds right-wing views on the economy, education, and the environment.
Ranjeev Puri is the most progressive choice in this race.
