Sue Shink

Sen. Sue Shink is a longtime public servant running for reelection to the Michigan Senate to continue advocating for the people of Jackson and Washtenaw Counties. Sue proudly hails from a family of union workers and is committed to continue fighting for working families. She believes that quality health care, good wages, and strong public schools are necessary for Michiganders to thrive. Sue brings years of community service and activism to her work in the Michigan Senate, where she is a strong voice for progress. 

In 2022, Sue won her newly created district for Democrats, and now she’s ready to defend her seat in the Michigan Senate and help protect Democrats’ majority in the chamber.

Michigan stands as 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 Democrats maintained control of the Senate, keeping the path to a trifecta within reach.

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