Paul Clements announced Thursday he will be running for Michigan's Sixth District, the seat currently held by Fred Upton.
“For decades our economy has only been working well for the very wealthy and the very powerful. Our political system is broken,” Clements said in a press release. “I’m running to get our economy working for the people again. This means increasing production in America, raising the minimum wage, Medicare for all, major improvements in education, strengthening our technological leadership, a $1 trillion investment in infrastructure and jobs, and ending the school-to-prison pipeline.”
Clements teaches at Western Michigan University.
