Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Jamie McClendon first visited Michigan in 2013 when she helped a friend move cross country to live in Big Rapids. She quickly fell in love with the area and knew she wanted to settle and raise her family here. After marrying David, a US Marine, in 2017, the couple relocated to Michigan in 2021. They have an adorable two-year-old daughter named Adelaide, along with a cat named Winston Purrchill and a dog named Maximus Decimus Meridius.
Jamie was adopted at age four by a couple who couldn't have biological children. Her adoptive mother still lives in Laveen, Arizona where she is a schoolteacher. She has worked in the same school district throughout her career and is yet to be convinced by Jamie to move to Michigan, although not for a lack of trying.
In addition to being a devoted mother, Jamie volunteers with the Mecosta County Democrat Party and has volunteered for multiple campaigns throughout her life. Her favorite so far was being undercover security at a Bernie Sanders rally.
Jamie loves reading novels, painting, sewing, crafting, event planning, and constantly switching up the decor in her apartment. She hopes to retire from politics someday and run a bed and breakfast wedding venue, while her husband opens a computer repair shop. Both Jamie and David laugh at these dreams, because everyone knows millennials won’t get to retire.

If you are tired of the partisan lies, of conservatives running as liberals, of moderates switching sides when it suits them, and of the status quo never changing, you can still do what's needed to make a real difference in our community.
Suspending a campaign means not actively raising money or engaging with voters. It doesn't mean dropping out of the race completely.
Jamie remains committed to true change. She firmly believes in ousting the "Old Guard" and ushering in a new era of truly progressive politics.
A vote for Jamie is a vote to make the world a better, friendlier, kinder place
