EMILYs List Endorses Karen McDonald for Michigan Attorney General
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed Karen McDonald for Michigan attorney general. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:
“Karen McDonald has a proven record of fighting to protect Michigan children and families from gun violence and making her community safer. As Michigan attorney general, she will continue working to build a safer and fairer future by guarding tax dollars, protecting workers, lowering costs, and standing up to the chaos in Washington. EMILYs List is proud to endorse Karen for Michigan attorney general.”
Karen McDonald grew up in a working-class Michigan family that taught her the value of hard work and standing up for others — lessons that shaped her career as a teacher, attorney, judge, and now Oakland County prosecutor. From the classroom to the courtroom, she’s fought for kids, families, and justice with compassion and common sense. In the wake of the Oxford High School tragedy, Karen made history by securing landmark convictions, and sent a clear message: as a state and a country, more must be done to prevent gun violence. A mother of five, she’s dedicated to building a safer, fairer future for every Michigan family.
