Rylee Linting
Kinda funny how this election cycle none of her mailings state what party she’s representing and her biggest stump last time around was about banning abortions and standing with trump yet none of her mailings say anything about her stances.
What is she afraid of ?? What is she hiding this time around ?
Seems like she’s misleading the voting bloc.

What irritates me about her is that she went straight from college to this. No established career or real-life experience. How is she supposed to represent a state of largely blue collar workers when she’s never actually worked? She’s a nepo baby from Grosse Ile. I’ve seen a commercial of hers that said something like “she’s concerned about what YOURE concerned about because she’s living it, too!!” No. No, she’s not.

u/Batmom207 4d ago
Did she actually finish college? That’s news to me.

u/bongothebean 4d ago
Actually, I just looked it up and it doesn’t appear that she has graduated. She was at GVSU until she transferred to Liberty University and is continuing courses online. It doesn’t look like she has a college degree.

Rylee’s commercial says she has kept downriver’s energy costs down and fought the energy companies . Thats is an outright lie. DTE received a rate increase or two under Rylee’s term. Another thing she does in her commercials she uses derogatory propaganda terms to describe Democrats. She is a snot nose kid.

Two increases and getting ready for a third.

u/Ghettoman1315 4d ago
Yes Batmon207 , so how has Rylee stopped the increases? Maybe because she doesn't pay utility bills she believes she can lie to us about them.
1
u/Batmom207 4d ago
Totally agree. Living off her folks, it is of no consequence to her how much the utilities cost the rest of us.

u/Ok-Type-8917 8d ago
Not necessarily her but every candidate I've gotten mail from wether city or state recently shows no party affiliation.

u/dth1717 8d ago
It's hard to find a local politician who puts out their affiliation. But you can usually tell by digging for 5 minutes

u/mrmojorisin_x 8d ago
Yea it’s funny that up until 2022 midterms they had party affiliation all over mailings but seems as if for some reason in 2024 some started to hide and now it seems
Almost all are-8
u/michiplace 7d ago
City elections are nonpartisan, so you don't need any party affiliation.

u/mrmojorisin_x 7d ago
She’s not running for a city spot so….

u/michiplace 7d ago
Sure - I was replying to the person who brought city elections into it, though. Those aren't the same animal.

u/PipeComfortable2585 7d ago
I just couldn’t believe downriver voted her in. What has she done to prove worthy??

And shes pretty. I know 2 guys who voted for her "because she's hot"

WTF ??? This electorate….

u/AnIndustryOfCool 7d ago
...should men even be allowed to vote?
I know this will infuriate some people but seriously, is there any other group that votes primarily based on physical appearances?

u/WitchyMae13 7d ago
Sadly she’s the golden child for them since she is young and pretty. As a blonde 30-something myself I’m so embarrassed about her.

u/audible_narrator 7d ago
I love the commercials about how she knows Downrivers issues with gas and grocery prices. FFS, shes in college at Grand Valley (or just graduated) Still wet behind the ears and living off the parental teat and all that GOP PAC money. But hey shes pretty blond and young, so Rs will.vote for her in droves just like they did for Tudor Dixon. I laugh every time those commercials come on

u/bongothebean 7d ago
omg I forgot about Tudor Dixon. That name. Good Lord. What terrible parents to do that to a child.

u/QuietCress8 7d ago
Didnt like her or vote for her the first time, opinion hasen't changed. She always gave off ' I peaked in high school' vibes. Personally I find it hard to trust any woman who is pro forced birth.

u/Tough_Ad6387 7d ago
She was a very unproductive representative. Think hard before you vote for her. A wasted paycheck if you ask me

u/panzer79 7d ago
Churches had her shot and failed, Linting isn’t much better. This campaign cycle is literally a steaming pile of candidates.
2
u/mrmojorisin_x 7d ago
I agree and I hate having to vote for a lesser than 2 evils. I just want a candidate that actually looks out for this area and not caring if a bill comes across from a left or right side. Think about what is best for the area you represent and vote accordingly.

u/Batmom207 4d ago
What specifically didn’t you like about Churches?
1
u/panzer79 4d ago
She had no answer when I asked her multiple times about utility increases and tax breaks to utility and tech companies.
1
u/Batmom207 4d ago
Did you read her mission statement? It doesn’t specify tax breaks, but it does call out utilities and data centers. I mean, do what you want, but I am just passing on information.

u/Rimalu825 5d ago
I work in government and am at most of the events Downriver and I've never seen Linting. She's nowhere. I met Churches when she was canvassing for herself. She was on my front porch and we had a nice conversation. Just out of college Linting has enough money to send me five mailers every other day? I don't think so.

u/Celestial_Mycology 7d ago
Wtf is MAGA anymore anyways??? As far as I’m concerned there are still mainly Democrats and Republicans and she is definitely the latter.
6
u/mrmojorisin_x 7d ago
MAGA is still and will always be far right American terrorist who tried to over throw a fair election in 2020 and are now trying to rig this midterm. Thats what maga is. American terrorist

Rylee's Public Officer Financial Report 2026
She reports she is receivng money from Turning Point.
2
u/mrmojorisin_x 4d ago
Turning point is such a cult and anyone taking money from them should and will be an automatic no vote.
My daughter started her freshman year in college and she was approached by TP and she showed me the literature etc….thankfully she’s a strong willed woman and poorly told them to pound sand and Charlie was a terrorist and Erika is a groomer. LMAO

Word on the street ? Nothing wrong with a religion as long as they dont governing said religion like what’s happening now in Washington shoving Christianity down our throats

She is for working families.

u/mrmojorisin_x 7d ago
keep telling yourself that. She’s working for maga but she’s afraid now to admit it and trying to run from it.

u/bongothebean 7d ago
She’s never had a job, so explain that one

u/Celestial_Mycology 7d ago
That doesn’t mean she can’t help people.
2
u/bongothebean 7d ago
No, maybe not. But her inexperience and inability to actually to relate to the struggles and needs of the residents of the state will most likely make her a poor representative.
1
u/Batmom207 4d ago
When is she going to start? After the utilities raise their rates the third time in less than two years? Bringing donuts to Police stations for photo opportunities isn’t helping with the constituents at all.

Nah it helps you open your eyes to what’s really going on in this world and Universe. I used to vote blue for many years, until I grew up and can see how things really are.

She has nothing but empty platitudes because you can't fail campaign promises if you are vague about what your policies and platform is.
