Michigans demokrat Shelby Campbell väcker uppmärksamhet med virala videor

Michigans demokrat Shelby Campbell har dragit till sig uppmärksamhet på nätet efter att videor där hon dansar spridits flitigt i sociala medier. Den 32-åriga ensamstående mamman och juriststudenten kandiderar i augusti månads primärval för delstatens 13:e kongressdistrikt. Hennes kampanj lyfter fram hennes personliga bakgrund och erfarenheter från arbetarklassen.

Campbell har delat videor som visar henne dansa på en köksbänk, vilka spreds snabbt under månaderna fram till primärvalet. Hon presenterar sig själv som en ofiltrerad kandidat som har mött utmaningar, däribland en tid i fängelse, och betonar resiliens i sina offentliga uttalanden. Hennes kampanjwebbplats inkluderar fyra polisfoton som en del av hennes biografi och noterar hennes arbetshistorik i roller som bartender, serveringspersonal, undersköterska och fabriksarbetare inom bilindustrin.
