MEET RHONDA

Rhonda Powell is a fourth-generation native of Mount Clemens, community advocate and nonprofit leader

who currently serves as the statewide operations director for We The People MI. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Siena Heights University and a Master of Science degree from Capella University, both focused in Human Service. Rhonda is also a Sixth Sigma Green Belt and certified process improvement specialist. She is the founder of Metro Equity Collaborative, a nonprofit based in Macomb County, and chairs the annual Macomb Celebration of Black Excellence Awards Gala.


Rhonda and her siblings were raised by their hardworking mom in public housing. She was fortunate to have support from their grandfather, who was retired and pastored a church, and grandmother, who was housekeeping supervisor at a local hospital. Throughout her childhood, Rhonda spent countless hours with her grandfather as he visited the sick, supported families during laid-offs, and provided a haven for neighborhood youth. She learned from him that all people should be valued and to “leave people better off than you found them or leave them alone.”

With 20 years of leadership experience, Rhonda has served some of the Region's most vulnerable populations through programs such as Head Start, meals on wheels and rotating shelters, as director of senior services, community action and other organizations. She is also a fierce advocate and mentor for women that continues to fight for equitable advancement and pay, and balanced economic investments. Her life and work experience have given her the perspective to serve us well in Washington.

WHY I'M RUNNING

I am stepping up to build a democracy that works for everyone in our district and rejects the politics of division.

I will fight for pay equity, accessible and affordable healthcare, clean air and water, racial and social justice, workers’ right to organize, and a sustainable economy for all of us.

I am running to continue my life’s work:

investing in the people of this district, and ensuring that seniors can retire with dignity and respect. This people-powered campaign is about using our collective power to elect a leader who values our community because they are part of the community. Together we can make this the rule and not the exception!
