A Michigan Built for Tomorrow

Focusing on the future of District 16 through innovation, education, and community-driven leadership.

Michigan is at a crossroads. To ensure our state remains a place where the next generation can thrive, we need a leader who understands the challenges of today and the opportunities of tomorrow. I’m running for State Senate to bring a forward-thinking perspective to Lansing.

A Teacher’s Perspective for Lansing

Deandre Barnes is a middle school teacher, a Newport resident, and a dedicated advocate for Michigan families. He is running to bring common-sense solutions, a focus on the future, and a voice for the hardworking people of our district to the State Senate.

Deandre’s “Focus On The Future”:

  • As a teacher, Deandre sees the challenges our youth face every day. He is running to ensure the decisions made in Lansing today create a better Michigan for his students tomorrow.

  • Living in Newport, Deandre understands the unique blend of suburban and rural needs in our district. He believes Lansing needs leaders who are grounded in their communities, not political insiders.

  • Deandre is committed to moving past partisan gridlock to focus on the essential issues: safe schools, good jobs, and affordable living.
