Detroit Forever Strong

Anthony M. Carbonaro is a lifelong resident of Michigan's 13th Congressional District, born in 1994 and raised in the resilient communities of Wayne County. From a young age, he dove headfirst into local politics as a dedicated volunteer, knocking on doors, organizing events, and helping elect city council members, state representatives, and county officials. Today, at 31, Anthony is a disaster recovery specialist transitioning into full-time political work, channeling his empathy and hustle into helping communities heal.

Anthony's path wasn't a straight line—it's the kind of raw journey that forged his unshakeable commitment to everyday folks. After receiving a congressional nomination to the U.S. Naval Academy from the late John Dingell, he faced tough battles and a hard-fought recovery that built him into a neighbor who gets it—the single parent scraping by, the retiree watching prices climb, the autoworker fighting for a fair shot. He's worked as a high-end waiter, delivery truck driver, construction worker, and small business owner, experiences that taught him what working families really need.

A self-described moderate Democrat, Anthony is inspired by the New Democrat Coalition's innovative problem-solving and the Blue Dog Coalition's fiscal discipline. His first priority is "The Best Bill Ever" - the Overhead Reduction Act, a revolutionary economic strategy that will make all domestic goods free for U.S. consumers while businesses profit from exports. He's not taking corporate PAC money—his loyalty is to the people of Michigan's 13th District, and he's ready to deliver real results.
