Running for: House of Representatives District 57
Re-Elect
Aisha Farooqi is a devoted candidate for State Representative in Michigan House District 57, motivated by her family's immigration to the United States and her own upbringing in Detroit. Her mother's scholarship to the University of Detroit Mercy, as well as her father's hard labor in a family company, instilled in Aisha the virtues of persistence and community. Aisha pursued a career in public service after being inspired by her professors' generosity and the Leonelli family's benevolence. She received a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, where she was class president.
Aisha has held positions in both the public and commercial sectors, including as a legal aid attorney and assistant prosecuting attorney in Wayne County, where she specialized on difficult juvenile cases. Her community activity, which includes interfaith work and service on the Sterling Heights Zoning Board of Appeals, demonstrates her dedication to meeting the needs of her constituency. Aisha is committed to promoting economic growth, preserving workers' rights, and making sure that every voice in her area is heard and represented in the State Legislature.
