A group of UMich students that DEFEATED Trump, ELECTED @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris, and CONTINUES on the path to destroy malarkey 💛💙 (Not affiliated with U-M)
Notable that *three* of the “top 10 candidates who threaten our democracy” nationwide are running in Michigan - the only state to make the list three times.
Michigan is ground zero in the national battle over the future of our democracy.
Whenever I talk to Nevadans about my race, I hear the same thing: people want someone they can trust to run their elections. My mother raised me to be responsible, play by the rules, and give back.
That's why I'm so excited to share our first ad, so you can hear it from her!
Michigan Attorney General and @UMich alum @dananessel spoke to students on the importance of being politically active and voting.

So happy to have played a role in this -- from registering hundreds of students to providing voting guides on social media that were shared thousands of times.
More importantly, this should be a lesson to the UM administration: keep voting accessible and consistently promote it.
Voter turnout for eligible @UMich students increased 17.7% between the 2016 and 2020 U.S. presidential elections, a Tufts report finds.

Those Republicans who have worked to undermine faith in our democracy now want to run it. We are here to stop them.
In case you needed one more reason why electing Democratic Secretaries of State in 2022 is so important. https://t.co/3Z0jspmIjX via @politico
The University of Michigan is known for being one of the liberal schools in the country, and the precincts on and around campus show that. Joe Biden won here in a landslide, getting almost 90% of the vote.
One year ago tonight, on Super Twosday, I took out my phone and recorded this video. We all fit in one medium-sized room back then. Eight months later we had over 400 volunteers from a dozen primary campaigns. Twelve months later, the House passed the American Rescue Act.
Gov. Whitmer (in pink here) rode to the airport with President Biden. They spent about six minutes talking in the Beast after the motorcade arrived at Air Force One.
