Empowering
District 10
What if your State Rep actually voted the way you told them to? Andrew Cyburt is building a new kind of representation, one where the community writes the policy and their steward carries it to Lansing.
How It Works
Traditional politics leaves you out of the process. We're building
something different:
A system where you shape the policy and your representative
fights to pass it.
Neighbors Assemble
We host regular Potluck Assemblies. These are welcoming, face-to-face gatherings where neighbors share food and rebuild the social trust that makes democracy work. Just real conversation.
Policy Is Drafted Openly
Together, we workshop real proposals using tools for Open Source Legislation. These are open, transparent platforms where citizens, experts, and workers can draft, debate, and refine policy in plain language.
Your Steward Fights for It
Andrew carries the community's consensus to Lansing and actively whips votes to get it passed. No backroom deals, no party bosses. A representative who works for you, not above you.
Meet Andrew
Fighting for a community-driven future.
"Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society... to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope."
For too long, relying solely on elected representatives has stripped communities of their civic participation, causing widespread polarization and voter apathy. Andrew Cyburt believes that politics is not just about lawmaking, but an active community-building exercise. True democracy starts from the ground up through collaboration and community empowerment.
Our campaign is about shifting from Representative Democracy to Participatory Democracy. We champion policies that empower local communities, support local workers, and ensure transparency in Lansing. Andrew explicitly refuses to accept corporate PAC money, ensuring his only allegiance is to the voters of District 10.
We don't need another representative who goes to the capitol and leaves behind the community that sent them there. We need a delegate who acts as a direct voice for our community and remains accountable to the voters every single day.
Need to discuss what matters? I am directly available for phone calls or meeting in person. Let's talk.

Agenda and RSVP ->Who Represents Me?
A strong democracy requires understanding how power is distributed. Here is a breakdown of what each level of government does, and why the State House is so critical to solving our local issues.
Mayor & City Council
City/Township
Handles hyper-local issues like city ordinances, local police and fire departments, trash collection, and local property tax assessments.
County Commissioner
Wayne/Macomb County
Oversees county-wide services like public health, county jails, large park systems, and major arterial road maintenance.
State Representative
District 10 (Lansing)
Writes state laws, funds K-12 education, manages state highways, and determines revenue sharing sent back to local communities. This is where the power to fundamentally fix local funding resides.
US Congress (House/Senate)
Washington D.C.
Focuses on national issues like defense, interstate commerce, foreign policy, and federal tax law.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a primary?
A primary is the first round of voting. It decides who gets to run in the final November election. In our area, whoever wins the August primary almost always wins the whole thing. That makes your primary vote the most important vote you can cast! The Primary is August 4, 2026
How can I get involved with the campaign?
We are a grassroots movement and rely on volunteers like you! Head over to our Get Involved page to sign up for canvassing, phone banking, or hosting events.
Can a State Rep fix my property taxes?
Indirectly, yes. While your local city council sets the actual property tax rates, they are constrained by a broken state funding model. For decades, Michigan has relied far too heavily on local property taxes to fund basic infrastructure. While our district has fought hard for state grants, the underlying system remains unsustainable. Andrew is running to permanently modernize Michigan's revenue-sharing formula and give local municipalities flexible, diversified revenue tools. By fixing the math at the state level, we can ensure District 10 maintains excellent local services without constantly squeezing homeowners.
What are your main priorities for District 10?
My primary focus is on empowering local communities, fully funding revenue sharing so our cities don't have to raise taxes, and protecting workers' rights. I believe in true participatory democracy where your voice directly shapes the laws in Lansing.
Why are you running for this seat?
The State Legislature determines how power trickles down to our local municipalities. By sitting in the State House, Andrew can push for laws that return more authority, funding, and self-determination directly to the people of District 10, bringing his vision of true Participatory Democracy to life.
A Campaign Rooted in Neighborhoods
Michigan State House District 10 includes vibrant communities whose voices deserve to be heard in Lansing. Real change doesn't happen in closed-door meetings—it happens here at home. Our grassroots movement is dedicated to serving every neighborhood, ensuring local concerns are prioritized over corporate interests.
Engage the Community
We believe governance starts with conversation. True democracy requires actively listening to and collaborating with the community to ensure every voice is heard.
Empower the Community
We equip neighborhoods and local workers with the tools, resources, and authority to make decisions that directly impact their daily lives and build a stronger future.
Create Accountability
We believe in transparency across all levels of power. Elected officials must be answerable to their constituents, just as managers and executives must be accountable to their workers and communities.
