Expand all | Collapse all

My name is Katybeth Davis. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I am a mother of two, I work for a local construction company, and I have been an activist for almost a decade. I am a bi-racial person of color and was adopted into a white family. My parents separated when I was two years old and later divorced. My adopted father was a doctor for the local hospital in Monroe, Mi (he passed away 8 years ago), and my adopted mother was a former RN. I have an adopted younger brother who is an educator at our local junior high. I recently connected with my biological family through DNA testing. My biological mother passed away when I was 16 due to complications from MS. My biological father was a black man who was murdered in Detroit and his case remains unsolved. I have two biological brothers who live in Texas and Oklahoma and a very large extended family. I consider myself a jack of all trades. I love all sports, movies, and almost all genres of music.
  • Racial Justice- The injustice of systemic racism needs to be addressed through, comprehensive criminal justice reform, and investment in BIPOC communities. Systemic racism is especially rampant in this district and it is my hope to break away from the norms and focus on a more inclusive district.
  • Climate Crisis & Environmental Issues- Ensure the Great Lakes and critical sources of drinking water are protected from contamination by toxic chemicals such as PFAS. I will hold corporate polluters accountable, strengthen our drinking water infrastructure and demand protections that keep our communities, and our kids, safe. I agree that climate change is human-made, threatening our planet, and needs to be addressed through government action.
  • Access to Healthcare- I will fight to protect healthcare by standing up for people’s access to critical health services such as birth control, mental health services, and cancer screenings. I would advocate to pass the SB 70 bill which wuld repeal the 1931 Michigan law banning abortions. Reproductive Rights are human rights and women and people who become pregnant should have the choice to make their own decisions during their pregnancies. I support full gender equality including women's health access, reproductive rights, and equal pay regardless of gender assigned at birth.
Education, Healthcare, Environmental, and Election policy
My first job was at Taco Bell when I was 16 years old. I became a manager and worked there for 4 years.
"We don't talk about Bruno", but I re-did the words and changed them to "We won't vote for Bellino, no no no!"
