Lansing – Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett announced months ago she will not seek re-election and will not run for public office again, saying the decision is faith-based and rooted in her commitment to Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture.

“I will not be seeking re-election for this office, and I will not be running for any office ever again. This is not a political calculation—it’s a spiritual decision,” Whitsett said.

Whitsett stated that her decision is driven by conscience and accountability to God.

“I don’t have a heaven or hell to put anyone in. Only God does. But I do have God’s unwavering Word to stand on, and I can no longer compromise it to fit a party platform or to please people,” Whitsett said.

“Michigan State Representative Bradley Slagh (R–85th District) said something that convicted me: ‘You’re to vote your district, but you’re not to sell your soul.’ In the end, I have to answer to God.”

Whitsett said she can no longer compromise her faith to support the Democratic Party platform.

“For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture… .I have compromised my relationship with Jesus for too long, and I’m grateful God did not give up on me. He gave me time to repent, turn, and be fully devoted to Him,” Whitsett said.

Whitsett named several issues she described as non‑negotiable matters of Biblical truth.

“That conviction includes the issues I cannot reconcile with Scripture: abortion, the normalization of the gay lifestyle, and the push to redefine gender. I understand these are personal for many families, because your son, daughter, cousin, aunt, or uncle may be one. But personal proximity does not change God’s definition of right and wrong. Love for people does not require agreement with sin, and compassion does not give us permission to rewrite Scripture,” Whitsett said.

DIFFERENT SLAVE OWNERS

Representative Whitsett is rallying against U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and claims those within the socialist rise of her party take Black voters for granted.

“It doesn’t change, it’s just different slave owners,” Democratic Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett told Fox News Digital in reference to Democratic Party leaders who believe Black voters are a monolith who should only support left-wing candidates.

She claimed that El-Sayed is not working in the best interest of Black Michiganders and that the far-left wing of her party is “more racist than the KKK.”

Whitsett called out Al Sharpton and Rev. Horace Sheffield III, an El-Sayed campaign surrogate and father of the Mayor of Detroit, Mary Sheffield. She stated they are both are working to “keep the knee on black voters neck”.
