State Representative Jamie Thompson never set out to become a lawmaker. As a nurse and a mother in Michigan, she watched with growing concern as COVID mandates stripped away personal and medical freedoms. But it wasn’t until tragedy struck—when her daughter died in a motorcycle accident, leaving behind three young children—that Jamie felt called to take a stand.
In this moving episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Rep. Thompson about her unexpected path into politics. She opens up about the professional pressure she faced during the pandemic, the toll on her family and business, and the heartbreaking loss that transformed her life. Raising her grandchildren alongside her husband, Jamie knew she had to fight for the kind of future they deserve—one rooted in liberty, accountability, and truth.
This is more than a political story—it's a testament to courage, conviction, and the power of everyday Americans to step up when it matters most.
