Why I Am Running

Michigan’s 10th Congressional District is one of the most critical battlegrounds in America.

​

Out of 435 seats in Congress, only 30 decide who runs the House of Representatives.
 

Only 2 of those seats are open.

 

And one of them is right here in Michigan’s 10th District.

 

Washington Democrats have drawn a bullseye on this district. They’ve called it a “can’t lose” seat, and they’re ready to spend whatever it takes to win it.

 

But we know what’s at stake.
 

If we defend this seat, we keep the House.
 

If we lose it, we lose the ability to hold Washington accountable.

​

The road to a Republican majority runs straight through Michigan’s 10th.

Justin Kirk for Congress

As a young attorney in private practice at a leading Michigan-based law firm I bring an outsider’s energy and a deep understanding of the challenges facing our community.

​

I am running for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District to keep the U.S. House in Republican hands and bring results-oriented conservative action rooted in Michigan values. ​

​​Our plan delivers jobs, educational improvement, opportunity, and security for families across Michigan’s 10th Congressional District.

Protect Republican Governance

 

Defend a Republican-led House as essential to advancing President Trump’s mission to rebuild America’s strength and prosperity.

​

Revive American industry by supporting policies that bring manufacturing and innovation back home.

​

Secure our borders to protect American families, uphold the rule of law, and safeguard national sovereignty.

​

Restore accountability in Washington by ending waste, rooting out corruption, and putting power back in the hands of the people.

​

Prevent Democrats from regaining control in 2026 and dragging Congress back into partisan investigations and political theater that stall progress and weaken our nation.

Revitalize Michigan's Economy
 

​​Michigan's real GDP per capita was $55,819 in 2024, which ranks 37th among states. Michigan ranks 10th in population. 

​

  • Support state and federal policies to unlock new manufacturing opportunities in Michigan.

    • See Jim Farley's "Essential Economy" Summit.​

​

  • Grow Michigan's leadership in the automotive and manufacturing sectors.

​

  • Make Michigan a hub for supply chain, warehousing, logistics and distribution centers.

    • MSU has the #1 Materials and Logistics Management program in the country.​

​

  • Promote Michigan as a destination for data center development and innovation due to our warehousing and manufacturing base.

Fix Our Education Pipeline
 

Halt Michigan's two-decade long scoring and standing decline based on National Assessment of Educational Progress statistics.

 

Improve Michigan's math and reading scores and reverse the educational decline impacting our children. From 2000 to today, the state’s ranking in math achievement fell from 14th to 36th, while its reading ranking declined from 20th to 42nd.​

​

Model the educational framework of school that lead the national rankings, such as our own Macomb International Academy, which ranks as a top school in the country.

​​

Promote trades:

  • Offer special, targeted incentives to attend trade school​.

  • Work with private businesses to create internships at companies for students to prepare for permanent placement.

  • Keep our educated youth here.

Strengthen Our National Security

National security powers Michigan’s economy, fortifies its infrastructure, and strengthens the backbone of our communities.

As home to Selfridge Air National Guard Base, one of America’s oldest and most capable air installations, Michigan leads the fight for homeland defense and global readiness.

We must:

  • Champion Selfridge in Washington to ensure lawmakers recognize its unmatched role in national  and regional defense and emergency preparedness and response.

  • Secure sustained federal investment to modernize its facilities, enhance its mission readiness, and expand its joint-service capabilities.

  • Strengthen partnerships between the base, local industries, and research institutions to drive innovation in aerospace, cybersecurity, and defense manufacturing.

  • Highlight Michigan’s strategic position in protecting the Great Lakes, defending vital supply chains, and safeguarding America’s energy and manufacturing corridors.

  • Mobilize community and state leadership to advocate together so that Selfridge remains a permanent fixture in America’s defense strategy.

Michigan doesn’t just support national security—it advances it, fuels it, and leads it forward.

Advance Conservative Governance

Advance conservative governance through parental rights, affordable energy, tax relief, fiscal responsibility, and championing the heartbeat of the American economy—small business and entrepreneurship.

 

Uphold the rule of law, secure our borders, defend the Constitution, and protect the sanctity of life. Promote self-reliance, limited government, and free-market solutions that empower individuals rather than bureaucracies.

 

Support our law enforcement, strengthen our national defense, and preserve the values of faith, family, and freedom that define the American spirit.

 

Encourage work, innovation, and community over dependency, ensuring that every citizen has the opportunity to rise through hard work, merit, and personal responsibility.
