Chris Dobis for Michigan State House

Who I Am

Fighting for District 26

I'm Chris Dobis, and I'm running for State Representative because I believe in the strength and potential of our communities — Garden City, Inkster, Northern Romulus, and Westland. Together, we can build something great.

I'm committed to creating opportunities for every family, supporting our local businesses, investing in our schools, and making District 26 a place where everyone can thrive. I will work every single day to deliver results for the hardworking people of this district.

Why I'm Running

I'm Not a Politician.A father, a neighbor, and a District 26 resident since 1988.

I've spent more than 25 years in the engineering field, working in Michigan's auto industry — solving real problems, working as part of a team, and being held accountable for results.

I never planned to run for office. But I've called District 26 home since 1988, and I've watched our state get worse year after year. I can't stay on the sidelines anymore.

I have adult children. Like every parent in this district, I want them to build their lives close to home. Instead, families across Michigan are watching their kids leave — for better paychecks somewhere else, for neighborhoods that feel safer, for schools they trust to give their grandkids a real future.

That's not the Michigan I grew up in. And it's not the Michigan I'm willing to hand to the next generation.

I'm not running to be a career politician. I'm running because the people of District 26 deserve someone who will fight for them — not for the next election.
