we brought the youth vote out and the ground game was able to defeat 70million dollars. i am my own separate media platform, abdul should go on ALL media and even convince republicans if he can. that's how you win elections!
i cannot begin to explain to you how incredible donovan is. this is a man who lives & breathes detroit. he’s got his work cut out for him but i know he will fight like hell for his district.
