County Prosecutor Suzanna Shkreli Announces Run for 8th Congressional District

CLARKSTON, MICH. – Macomb County Prosecutor Suzanna Shkreli today announced she will run for Congress in Michigan’s 8th District against incumbent Rep. Mike Bishop.

“As a Prosecutor, I take on tough fights every day, and in the courtroom I see the failures of our Congress to address the needs of working families, whether it be access to good-paying jobs, an affordable education, or a secure retirement,” said Shkreli.

“We face real challenges in Michigan, and as a first-generation American who worked my way through college and law school with help from student loans, I’ve seen a lot of those challenges in my own life. That’s why I cannot sit back and allow a broken Congress continue to ignore the needs of working families in Michigan, by refusing to take on any tough fights.

“I’ve dedicated my career to giving back, and I plan to hit the ground running, talking to voters, and putting together a strong campaign that will win in November.”
Suzanna Shkreli is a first-generation American, born and raised in Michigan. Her parents are working-class Albanian immigrants.
