Alex Hawkins

Alex Hawkins is a U.S. Army veteran, active National Guard Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer, and Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Deputy running to flip a seat in the Michigan House. Alex has built his life around service, steady leadership under pressure, and a commitment to protect the people who depend on him. He’s a tireless volunteer in his community, where he advocates for veterans, leads a nonprofit community choir, mentors young leaders, and partners with unions and community organizations to fight for fair wages, safer working conditions, and a strong local economy where small businesses and working families can thrive.

Alex is running a highly competitive race in this battleground district. With the DLCC’s backing, he has what it takes to win his election and help Democrats gain the seats they need to establish a majority in the Michigan House.

Michigan is one of the most critical battlegrounds in the country.

In 2022, Michigan Democrats flipped both chambers of the state legislature for the first time in over a decade, delivering a Democratic trifecta and passing historic legislation that improved the lives of working families across the state.

In 2024, Republicans narrowly retook the Michigan House — but with Democrats remaining as the majority in the state Senate, the path to a trifecta is within reach in 2026.

With a one-seat Democratic majority in the Senate and a clear path to reclaim the House, strategic investment in these races will determine whether Democrats can restore full control and continue delivering results for Michiganders.
