In the video,Campbell appeared to celebrate Kirk&#8217;s death and Kimmel&#8217;s return to television,using dark humor. She later defended her comments on social media, inviting critics to discuss her mental state. Campbell, a 31-year-old single mom and union member, positions herself as a grassroots candidate focused on advocating for working families over corporate interests. The district is currently represented by Democrat Shri Thanedar, with Michigan State Rep. Donavan McKinney also running for the seat. Campbell&#8217;s campaign had not responded to requests for comment at the time of reporting.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A Democratic House&nbsp;candidate posted a video on social media making fun of Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s assassination last week comparing it to ABC&rsquo;s brief suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel.<\/p>\n<p>Shelby Campbell, 31, who is running to represent the heavily Democratic Michigan&rsquo;s 13th district, appeared to gleefully celebrate Kirk&rsquo;s death and Kimmel&rsquo;s return to ABC in a on TikTok video, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/canadian-government-cracks-down-on-truckers-finances\/\" title=\"Canadian Government Cracks Down On Truckers\u2019 Finances\">sparking significant backlash<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hey, MAGA.
