[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

I’m a public servant, an entrepreneur, a dad, a husband, and an engineer who spent a lot of my life making the government actually work for people. I’m not done with that, not by a long shot

Today, I am declaring my candidacy for Secretary of State of Michigan.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

Meet Garlin tomorrow night in Detroit!
Join us Thursday, 6/4 at Soul on Ice for great drinks and good conversation. We’ll see you there!

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

I’m honored to have the endorsement of the Michigan Bangladeshi American Democratic Caucus. Michigan is strongest when every community has a voice, every eligible voter can make that voice heard, and every person can trust that their government will deliver for them and serve their needs. #StandTALL

@UAW Local 2093 members have negotiated in good faith for months. Now, they are standing together and demanding what they have earned.

I was proud to stand with UAW members when they kicked off negotiations for a record contract back in March, and I am proud to #StandTALL with them today as they fight for the fair wages, strong benefits, safe workplaces, and respect every worker deserves.

My full statement:

[UAW @UAW]

BREAKING: UAW Local 2093 members at American Axle (Dauch) in Three Rivers, Michigan, are officially ON STRIKE! Solidarity!

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

Proud to #StandTALL with UAW Region 1 at today's Blessing of the Bikes. 🏍️ As your next Secretary of State, I'll make sure the SOS office works for Michigan's bikers, from titles and registrations to motorcycle endorsements and licenses. The open road starts at the Secretary of State’s office, and I'm committed to making that front door as easy to walk through as possible.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

Whenever I’m with the @micollegedems I’m reminded that the future of our democracy is in good hands. Grateful for the passion and the conversations I had at their convention yesterday.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

A new poll shows our campaign leading MAGA Anthony Forlini 44%–40% in the race for Secretary of State.

People want someone who will protect their rights, defend our elections from conspiracy theorists, and deliver efficient, modern services they can count on. Let’s get to work.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

I’m honored to have the support of the @IBEWMichigan, and I’ll always #StandTALL with them to protect our right to vote and our democracy. When working people can make their voices heard at the ballot box, we can win fair wages, safe workplaces, strong benefits, and dignity on the job for every family in Michigan.

Michigan, you have just a few days to sign the Michigan Money out of Politics petition. Let’s make sure this important initiative gets on the ballot so we can eliminate dark money and create a system that works for you, not giant corporations and utility companies. Click the link below to sign

Congratulations to @ChedrickGreene on a well deserved, and hard earned big win last night. Your campaign set the tone and we’re going to carry this momentum all the way to November when we elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

This year’s Detroit Cinco de Mayo parade was incredible! 🎉🇲🇽 The history. The pride. The culture. This is what make Southwest Detroit so special. I'm committed to fighting for and protecting the rights and votes of my neighbors in Detroit and across this state and will do so as Secretary of State.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

I’m honored to have the support of former Congressman Mark Schauer. We will #StandTALL for Michigan.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

I'm honored to have the endorsement of the Michigan Democratic Women’s Caucus and proud to #StandTALL with leaders who have always fought to expand opportunity and protect our democracy.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act, allowing MAGA to slice and dice our communities for their own power. We can and will #StandTALL to fight back with everything we have.

[Garlin Gilchrist @garlin]

I'm proud to march through Southwest Detroit for the Mexican Patriotic Committee's annual Cinco de Mayo Parade this Sunday — and I want YOU by my side!
