I come from a two parent home with 4 siblings, all girls. I am the fourth born. I graduated from 5th grade as valedictorian and have been in leadership roles ever since. In my adolescence academic years, I always performed at the top of my class, surpassing any and all obstacles that stood in my way. I have always been a team player, initiating goals then executing them. I have been the first in a lot of things in life, but never did I look for accolades. I am a mom, a community leader and organizer. I am a former UAW worker and former major automotive company employee with 15+ years of service. I am the CEO and Founder of Bomer Teach Detroit, an outreach mobile learning hub that specializes in teaching disabled, displaced and homeless children K-12 and also adults who have literacy barriers. If elected to Congress, I will use my income to start a synagogue for the youth, instilling biblical values at an early age. From there, I will kickstart a state of the art 'All American Party Affiliations Political Union' to help bring unity and empowerment into our Elections and Government Process, calling for a Cease Fire in every state throughout America.\t\t\t</span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-393418-2026-01-03\" id=\"heading-key-message-393418-2026-01-03\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse-key-message-393418-2026-01-03\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-393418-2026-01-03\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tPlease list below 3 key messages of your campaign.

Someone needs to be seated in Congress who can speak up for those majority black communities. Of course all constituents no matter their race, will be represented, we still need to understand that despite a black majority in Detroit, the largest city in Michigan, blacks are still underserved and disenfranchised. It's time to give respect, recognition and representation to the second largest contributors in America by way of electing Congress men and women who will be a voice for the voiceless, the underserved and indigenous Americans.</li><li>I Saw!\r\n I have seen all of the flaws that have gone on in the U. S. House of Representatives. I must say, a 'Cease fire' must commence within the U. S. House of Representatives between both Republicans and Democrats alike. Right now , there are a lot of blame games, lies and deceit going on and no real policy changes or negotiations are being made. Instead of creating a peaceful and harmonious workplace environment, we have Congress and Senate leaders from both major parties acting more childish than a 5th grader. Right now, as it stands, the whole U. S. House of Representatives need to grow up and try being a bit more mature than they are at this time.</li><li>I Conquered!\r\nI say that I have conquered because I have officially declared my candidacy to run for Congress. I am confident that I can help save America before dooms day. I believe that America has already been infiltrated and invaded from within. Our borders and fundings have already been compromised. The Epstein files are a demonic distraction that has caused a mass hysteria. Those files have already been compromised. We are wasting taxpayers time and money continuing to go backwards in time while the foreign invaders are laughing at us and gearing up to overthrow our American Government. Wake up Americans. It's time to 'Cease Fire' now! Help me 'Bring Down the House' so that we can all conquer together by helping to Save America!</li></ul></span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse1-393418-2026-01-03\" id=\"heading1-393418-2026-01-03\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse1-393418-2026-01-03\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse1-393418-2026-01-03\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tWhat areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?\t\t\t</a></p></div><div aria-labelledby=\"heading1-393418-2026-01-03\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\" id=\"collapse1-393418-2026-01-03\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-body\" style=\"max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;\"><div class=\"answers-container\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\t\t\t\tI am personally passionate about a number of public policies including but not limited the following:<br/>\n<p>1.

Any laws that are within the pages of the constitution, will be guarded and protected. No illegal mandate, gun ban, shutdowns by any local, state or federal laws will be enforced or followed. Anyone who attempts to break the laws attached to our constitutional rights, will come with consequences punishable by up to but not limited to jail time and or penalties or both. The people’s rights will be safeguarded against any attempt to infringe upon their rights and freedoms.</li><li>I will bring peace to Wayne County by creating a deterrence of criminal activity. I will be a champion for the people and their 2A rights. Statistics show that “guns” prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year. Fact, property crime rates dropped, (especially burglaries). Every year, 400,000 life-threatening violent crimes are prevented using firearms. In a survey, 60% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they thought the victim might be armed. Some felons even have reported that they avoided entering homes because they feared of being shot. I will not allow legal licensable people to be bombarded with “red flag” gun laws. Guns do not load or shoot by themselves. We will seek to find wreck-less “people”.</li><li>I will protect your property, my property, our property by any means necessary. This includes the property of “life” of law abiding citizens and inmates who are housed in the Wayne County Jails. Life is property. I will protect life at all cost. Our underaged children are our properties. I will protect juveniles from being harmed, adult inmates from being harmed and all of my Sheriff deputies protected at all cost. Our minds are our individual properties. I will bring protection and a peace of mind to all who reside, work, play, rest in Wayne County.</li></ul></span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse1-233905-2024-03-09\" id=\"heading1-233905-2024-03-09\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse1-233905-2024-03-09\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse1-233905-2024-03-09\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tWhat areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?\t\t\t</a></p></div><div aria-labelledby=\"heading1-233905-2024-03-09\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\" id=\"collapse1-233905-2024-03-09\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-body\" style=\"max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;\"><div class=\"answers-container\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\t\t\t\tCommunity Corrections.

Articia Bomer, born and raised in the 13th Congressional District of Detroit Michigan. I come from a two parent home with 4 siblings, all girls. I am the fourth born. I graduated from 5th grade as valedictorian and have been in leadership roles ever since. In my adolescence academic years, I always performed at the top of my class, surpassing any and all obstacles that stood in my way. I have always been a team player, initiating goals then executing them. I have been the first in a lot of things in life, but never did I look for accolades. I am a mom, a community leader and organizer. I am a former UAW worker and former major automotive company employee with 15+ years of service. I am the CEO and Founder of Bomer Teach Detroit, an outreach mobile learning hub that specializes in teaching disabled, displaced and homeless children K-12 and also adults who have literacy barriers. If elected to Congress, I will use my income to start a synagogue for the youth, instilling biblical values at an early age. From there, I will kickstart a state of the art 'All American Party Affiliations Political Union' to help bring unity and empowerment into our Elections and Government Process, calling for a Cease Fire in every state throughout America. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? I Came!\r\nI came into this U.S. House race because I know just how important it is to represent a district that consist of majority black communities. Someone needs to be seated in Congress who can speak up for those majority black communities. Of course all constituents no matter their race, will be represented, we still need to understand that despite a black majority in Detroit, the largest city in Michigan, blacks are still underserved and disenfranchised. It's time to give respect, recognition and representation to the second largest contributors in America by way of electing Congress men and women who will be a voice for the voiceless, the underserved and indigenous Americans. I Saw!\r\n I have seen all of the flaws that have gone on in the U. S. House of Representatives. I must say, a 'Cease fire' must commence within the U. S. House of Representatives between both Republicans and Democrats alike. Right now , there are a lot of blame games, lies and deceit going on and no real policy changes or negotiations are being made. Instead of creating a peaceful and harmonious workplace environment, we have Congress and Senate leaders from both major parties acting more childish than a 5th grader. Right now, as it stands, the whole U. S. House of Representatives need to grow up and try being a bit more mature than they are at this time. I Conquered!\r\nI say that I have conquered because I have officially declared my candidacy to run for Congress. I am confident that I can help save America before dooms day. I believe that America has already been infiltrated and invaded from within. Our borders and fundings have already been compromised. The Epstein files are a demonic distraction that has caused a mass hysteria. Those files have already been compromised. We are wasting taxpayers time and money continuing to go backwards in time while the foreign invaders are laughing at us and gearing up to overthrow our American Government. Wake up Americans. It's time to 'Cease Fire' now! Help me 'Bring Down the House' so that we can all conquer together by helping to Save America! What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? I am personally passionate about a number of public policies including but not limited the following: 1. Healthcare 2. Education Policy 3. Economic Policy 4. Social Policy 5. Policy 6. Criminal Justice Policy 7. Foreign Policy What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign? • Wayne County Republican Committee • 12th Congressional District (R) • Afro American Leadership Group • Michigan Leadership Group • Auto Workers for Trump • U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.

The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Bomer's responses.\nExpand all | Collapse all\nWho are you? Tell us about yourself. I am Articia Bomer, a life long resident of Wayne County. I am a mother of 10 biological children. I was raised in Wayne County, educated in Wayne County, worked in the UAW for over 15 years in Wayne County, bought my first car in Wayne County, been homeless in Wayne County, been overworked and underpaid in Wayne County, went to religious institutions in Wayne County, shop for groceries in Wayne County. Now, I am running for Sheriff in Wayne County. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? I will uphold the Constitution in Wayne County. Any laws that are within the pages of the constitution, will be guarded and protected. No illegal mandate, gun ban, shutdowns by any local, state or federal laws will be enforced or followed. Anyone who attempts to break the laws attached to our constitutional rights, will come with consequences punishable by up to but not limited to jail time and or penalties or both. The people’s rights will be safeguarded against any attempt to infringe upon their rights and freedoms. I will bring peace to Wayne County by creating a deterrence of criminal activity. I will be a champion for the people and their 2A rights. Statistics show that “guns” prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year. Fact, property crime rates dropped, (especially burglaries). Every year, 400,000 life-threatening violent crimes are prevented using firearms. In a survey, 60% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they thought the victim might be armed. Some felons even have reported that they avoided entering homes because they feared of being shot. I will not allow legal licensable people to be bombarded with “red flag” gun laws. Guns do not load or shoot by themselves. We will seek to find wreck-less “people”. I will protect your property, my property, our property by any means necessary. This includes the property of “life” of law abiding citizens and inmates who are housed in the Wayne County Jails. Life is property. I will protect life at all cost. Our underaged children are our properties. I will protect juveniles from being harmed, adult inmates from being harmed and all of my Sheriff deputies protected at all cost. Our minds are our individual properties. I will bring protection and a peace of mind to all who reside, work, play, rest in Wayne County. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Community Corrections. It takes a whole village to raise children, it takes an entire community to keep them out of trouble. I plan on bringing a new system of social services that will bring about financial stability, mental health healing that will ultimately boost morale. Working with all local, state and government agencies to get on one accord with a universal plan to help correct the communities before they become infected within. Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? I look up to Jesus Christ, a man who I was raised to keep first in my life. I follow his examples of passion for life, forgiveness and love. I want to bring peace and happiness to all. Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? The Black America Report Curriculum (Aa guide to contracts, grants, loans and political empowerment) Written by Ramon Jackson from The City of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan The Author’s quote: “You don’t have to be into politics, politics are into you” https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-AMERICA-REPORT-CURRICULUM-Empowerment/dp/B0C2S855V6 What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? Communication skills. You must know how to articulate, relate, and convey the community’s concerns in a timely manner. You must have understanding and patience to deal effectively with the issues as they relate to each individual situation. You must maintain a safe and peaceful environment while operating the county as well as maintaining the county. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? I possess good morals and ethics. I love being the peacemaker and the person who meditates a difficult task into a more easier and flexible way of life. What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? Maintenance and Operations You must maintain a safe and peaceful county while operating the county in a manner that pleases the people who live in it. What legacy would you like to leave? I would like to leave behind my spirit of peace and tranquility and the fact that I was the right choice for the role. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? When America elected the first Black President. I was 36 years old. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? My first job, was working at McDonald’s. I worked 1 year while still attending high school. What is your favorite book? Why? The Holy Bible….. it gives me basic knowledge and understanding about what is expected of me in my journey through life. If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be? If I was a fictional character, I would choose to be “Elsa” from the movie “Frozen”. I would use my freezing abilities to put a freeze on future fraud in our elections. I would also freeze out crime. What was the last song that got stuck in your head? We Will Survive by Articia Bomer (self) What is something that has been a struggle in your life? Trying to convince myself that I should have been involved in this process years ago. Tell us your favorite joke. Q: Why did the political fish swim backwards? A: The fish swim backwards to avoid a good de “bait” What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability? “If you don’t have financial literacy, you have no business at all”. The government sends each City, State, County funding annually to be allocated towards projects that help people to become financially successful, independent and productive. There is a need for more education as it relates to what our tax dollar can give us back in return through annual contracts, grants ad loans.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
