Ep. 70: Ten Years, No Breaks, One Big Win

Okay, so . . . we did a thing. Chedrick Greene won—and not in a squeaker, not in a nail-biter, but in a full-on “wait, is that number correct??” kind of way. 🎉 In this episode of Beyond Resistance, we’re breaking down what actually happened in Michigan’s 35th—and spoiler alert: it wasn’t luck, vibes, or a last-minute campaign miracle. This was years in the making. Like . . . a decade of organizing, relationship-building, losing, learning, and showing up anyway kind of years. We get into: 💖 Why the “they just had more money” excuse is… let’s call it creative fiction 💖 How a district that barely leaned blue suddenly swung nearly 20 points (yes, really) 💖 What it felt like to be in the room when the win finally hit (tears, cheers, mild disbelief) 💖 And why Republicans saying “we didn’t even try” might not be the flex they think it is 😅 We also zoom out with Senator Darrin Camilleri to talk about the bigger picture: how you identify winnable places, why organizing in “red” communities actually works, and what it takes to build something that lasts longer than a single election cycle. Bottom line: This isn’t just a win—it’s proof that the long, unglamorous, frustrating work of building power actually pays off. And yeah . . .we’re a little fired up about it. 💙🔥 To learn more about Chedrick Greene: chedrickgreene.com To learn more about Senator Darrin Camilleri: darrincamilleri.com To learn more about Beyond Resistance and download the Blueprint: beyondresistancepod.com #Michigan #Senate #Politics #Midterms
