In this moment, governors are the guardrails against election deniers who want to rip away our access to the ballot box. I’ve stood up for Michigan citizens as Secretary of State, and I’ll stand up to anyone — even the President — to protect your voices and votes as governor.

Governors are the guardrails for our rights and our freedoms. They’re the leaders who set the direction for our state, lower costs, and expand real economic opportunity so more people can access well-paying jobs. That’s what I’ve done as Secretary of State, and it’s what I’ll do as governor.
Today is Memorial Day. As a military spouse, I think of the families who didn’t get their service members back. Behind every name is a husband, a parent, a wife, and a child. Today, and always, we honor their sacrifice and carry their memory forward.
Having a blast at the MDP convention! I've met so many incredible Michiganders — come say hi if you haven't yet!
I could easily spend all day at The Curious Bookshop in Lansing 📚 So many cool finds, including actual copies of legislative records from all the way back in the 1800s — and a mind-blowing science fiction section with books over 100 years old.
The truth is on our side. The law is on our side. The Constitution is on our side. The people are on our side. With that in our corner, Michigan can't lose.

In 1965, Detroit’s Viola Liuzzo drove to Alabama to join the Selma-to-Montgomery march because she believed equality and justice belong to every American. Her courage inspires me every day. It was an honor to visit her memorial with my fellow Michigan lawmakers.
Wishing a peaceful Ramadan to all who observe across Michigan. This is a sacred season of reflection and generosity. May this month bring you good health and time to be present with the people you love.
The only thing the SAVE Act will do is make it harder for American citizens to vote. Period. Michigan’s elections are among the most secure and accessible in the country. Let’s keep it that way.

Last summer began with three tiny puppies abandoned at a cement factory on the outskirts of the city. They were so small, so scared, and the place was incredibly dangerous for them... We took them to safety and started searching for families, but no one wanted to adopt them.

Didn't these effers ever get taught about Constitutional rights? In order to be a law enforcement officer, you should be tested on people's rights every flippin year & the test should be hard, like passing the fking bar. There should also be psych tests administered it annually.
