United States Senator Carl Levin

"Carrie Budzinski joined my staff, working in my Detroit office, shortly after her graduation from college and remained on staff until my retirement. During those years, she was a passionate and dedicated advocate for Michigan residents - especially veterans. Carrie represented me in her work with constituents and at many public functions. I know she would do an excellent job representing the residents of Livonia on the City Council."

State Representative Laurie Pohutsky (MI-19)

"It’s with great enthusiasm that I endorse Carrie Budzinski for her 2021 Livonia City Council campaign. Over the last year, I’ve gotten to know Carrie and witness firsthand her dedication and commitment to her community and her deep desire to make it a better place for all residents. She also makes it a priority to encourage others to engage with their government at all levels and understands the importance of local policies on our day-to-day lives. Carrie will be a true advocate for the citizens of Livonia and I’m thrilled to support her campaign"

Local Organization + Community Endorsements

It is my goal to meet with as many residents as possible so they can have the opportunity to determine for themselves if I'm the right candidate for them; however, I understand that people also like to have references. For that reason, I am selectively engaging in select endorsement processes for organizations and community groups. I have received endorsements from the following organization:

Run For Something

RunforSomething supports progressive candidates run for office by offering training, how-tos, best practices, guides and online resources for planning runs for office. There is also a mentorship program and regularly scheduled one-on-one sessions with RFS Regional Directors to offer feedback and encouragement throughout the campaign.
