WCPT 820 Candidate Interview: Christina Hines
About this episode
Richard Chew is joined by Christina Hines, candidate for Congress in the 10th District of Michigan.
Here is a summary of the conversation:
- Hines argued that frustrated Trump voters and working families are seeking lower costs and access to good health care options.
- She contrasted her approach with her Republican opponent Mike Bouchard's alignment with Donald Trump.
- Her priorities include reducing health care costs, ending tariffs that have harmed Michigan jobs, restoring congressional control over trade policy, and seeking an end to the war in Iran.
- Hines's campaign is preparing election-protection plans in case ICE or the National Guard appears near polling places or drop boxes.
- The district is economically and culturally diverse, requiring translated materials and outreach across communities.
- The campaign has knocked more than 25,000 doors and aims to reach 50,000 more before the election.
Key quote:
"This is one of the most competitive [districts] in the country. It's one that Democrats only lost by 1,600 votes the last time it was open like this, and so that's less than half a percentage point. We know that if we actually do the organizing work and get the message out that we're going to be able to win. But what I will also say is: We have a lot of people that voted for Donald Trump in this district that are really frustrated right now. . . . So a lot of the people that are those kind of swing voters that we always think about in Macomb County, in my home here, the home of the Reagan Democrats, a lot of those folks are really frustrated, and I think that they are looking for people who are actually going to fight for solutions."
