Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet won a hard-fought race to replace retiring J Street champion Dan Kildee in Michigan's highly competitive 8th district in 2024. As a proud J Street champion, Rep. McDonald Rivet is a strong partner in the fight for pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy policy.
As the first Democrat in over a decade — and the first woman ever — to represent the Great Lakes Bay Region in the Michigan State Senate, McDonald Rivet led efforts to pass the largest tax cut for working families in Michigan’s history, repeal the 1931 abortion ban, and address the state’s childcare crisis.
With her deep experience as a leader in education, youth development, and community revitalization, McDonald Rivet is uniquely qualified to deliver for her constituents. In one of the cycle’s most competitive races, we must rally to defend MI-08 and reclaim a pro-democracy majority in Congress.
