Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib: Why I Want to Remain in the U.S. House

U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib made national news as a member of “The Squad” of first-term, ultra progressive women of color in Congress. She’s battled with President Trump. But she says she takes her district’s concerns with her every time she’s on Capitol Hill.

Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib spoke with WDET’s Quinn Klinefelter about becoming a nationally-known politician in only her first term, her push to impeach President Trump and her efforts to secure funding for improving water infrastructure and other items in her impoverished district.
