Candidate for Precinct Delegate • Detroit, MI
"A Precinct Delegate is one of the most important ways we can strengthen our community from the ground up. It's how the Democratic Party stays connected at the local level — making sure people have the information they need around voting and the issues that matter most to us here in Detroit. My role is simple: to keep the community I serve informed, politically updated, and civically rooted."
Your precinct. Your voice. Your delegate.
About Tequeria
Detroit has always been home in the deepest sense — it's where family roots run deep and where Tequeria Barrett's passion for civil rights and advocacy was first grounded at Eastern Michigan University. After six years in Atlanta — where she served as Vice President-Elect of the NAACP Georgia Conference and as a Political Organizer within the New Georgia Project and The Outreach Team — she returns to continue her advocacy journey in the city that first taught her how to organize at the local level.
"I returned to Detroit to continue my advocacy journey in the place that grounded me in civil rights work."
Now working as a Voting Rights Organizer with the Michigan League of Conservation Voters' Democracy For All, Tequeria is on the ground every day fighting to ensure Detroit voters are heard at every level of democracy.
