After graduating from Brother Rice High School, Jimmy managed his family’s retail businesses, earning the mentorship of some of Michigan’s most accomplished entrepreneurs. His leadership, vision, and drive fueled both growth and innovation. The late 1990s brought personal tragedies that sent Jimmy into a spiral, ultimately leading to legal troubles. In 2002, he met Alecia Lind, the love of his life and a woman whose compassion and kindness inspired him to turn his life around. Her tragic death in 2005 profoundly transformed him, sparking a lifelong promise to live a life of service and meaning in her honor. Today, Jimmy Lossia routinely investigates and exposes political and corporate corruption. He stands as a symbol of resilience, redemption, and compassion. His life is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of love and faith. Through his ongoing community involvement, charitable initiatives, and unwavering dedication to protecting the vulnerable — both human and animal — Jimmy continues to inspire those around him.
Guided by faith, gratitude, and an unshakable belief in second chances, Jimmy lives each day with a renewed sense of purpose: to uplift others, bring hope to the brokenhearted, and shine light wherever there is darkness. His story is one of courage, perseverance, and grace — proof that even in the face of adversity, one can rise, heal, and find a higher calling to serve.- Too many people feel powerless—pushed around by corporate greed and ignored by leaders meant to protect them. I’m running for Mayor to change that. I will serve you—not donors, not political allies, not special interests. The era of unchecked backroom politics in Farmington Hills ends with me. I believe the reason government programs often fail is simple: a lack of accountability. My priorities are lowering the cost of living, reducing taxes, capping rent increases, ending illegal junk fees, and creating strong programs for seniors and single mothers while bringing accountability, transparency, and compassion back to Farmington Hills leadership.
- Improving public safety in Farmington Hills is our community responsibility and requires prevention, enforcement, and community engagement. I support community policing and neighborhood watch programs, modernized emergency response, youth and mental health initiatives, traffic safety improvements, and data-driven policing with transparency. I also believe in strong community input through advisory boards and volunteer programs, ensuring residents help shape policies that keep our neighborhoods safe, welcoming, and resilient. I also want to provide more senior support, by expanding services, such as building a new Costick Center near the current location, and improving transportation for those who need it most.
- I support a humane approach to local wildlife issues, including managing the deer population and addressing the homeless cat epidemic which will be a serious issue for every homeowner. Unfixed cats can have four litters a year, producing 20–25 kittens per cat annually. With thousands of homeless cats today, this unchecked growth threatens our ecosystem, as cats are predators that kill for reasons beyond food. To illustrate: starting with just 10 unfixed cats, the population could grow to 210 in year 1, 4,410 in year 2, 96,610 in year 3, 1,944,810 in year 4, and a staggering 40 million by year 5. We must act responsibly to protect both cats, wildlife and our community.
I also care deeply about animal welfare, environmental protection, and maintaining the character of our community while ensuring everyone feels heard and respected.
To me, leadership isn’t about titles, power, or recognition — it’s about service. An elected official has one job: to represent the people with honesty, courage, and compassion. Over the course of my life, through both triumphs and hardships, I’ve learned that the following principles define what it truly means to serve with integrity:
1. Integrity – Doing what’s right even when no one is watching. Without integrity, there’s no trust — and without trust, leadership has no foundation.
2. Accountability – A true leader takes responsibility for their actions. I’ve made mistakes in my life and owned them, and I believe accountability builds both character and credibility.
3. Transparency – The people deserve the truth. Open communication and honesty must always come before politics or personal interest.
4. Empathy and Compassion – You can’t serve the people if you don’t understand them. Every decision must be guided by empathy — for the working parent, the struggling business owner, the veteran, and the voiceless.
5. Courage – Leadership often means standing alone. Doing the right thing sometimes comes at a cost, but moral courage always outweighs political comfort.
6. Humility – Public office is a position of trust, not power. A humble leader listens more than they speak and serves more than they seek to be served.
7. Dedication to Service – True fulfillment comes from helping others. Leadership means putting the people’s needs above personal gain and working tirelessly to make a difference in every community you touch.
If I could be remembered for one thing, I’d want it to be that I made a difference. Not through wealth, power, or politics — but through people. My goal has always been to live a life that gives others hope; to show that no matter how far someone may fall, with faith, perseverance, and love, they can rise again.
I want my legacy to be one of redemption, compassion, and service — that I stood up for what was right, protected those who couldn’t protect themselves, and gave a voice to those who were overlooked or forgotten.
I want to be remembered as a man who turned pain into purpose, who honored the memory of Alecia and my mother by living a life of kindness and meaning. Every person I help, every animal I save, every life I touch — that’s how I measure success.
